Hepatic Cyst Infection During Use of the Somatostatin Analog Lanreotide in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease:An Interim Analysis of the Randomized Open-Label Multicenter DIPAK-1 Study

Introduction and Aims The DIPAK-1 Study investigates the reno-and hepatoprotective efficacy of the somatostatin analog lanreotide compared with standard care in patients with later stage autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). During this trial, we witnessed several episodes of hepatic cyst infection, all during lanreotide treatment. We describe these events and provide a review of the literature. Methods The DIPAK-1 Study is an ongoing investigatordriven, randomized, controlled, open-label multicenter trial. Patients (ADPKD, ages 18-60 years, estimated glomerular filtration rate 30-60 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) were randomized 1: 1 to receive lanreotide 120 mg subcutaneously every 28 days or standard care during 120 weeks. Hepatic cyst infection was diagnosed by local physicians. Results We included 309 ADPKD patients of which seven (median age 53 years [interquartile range: 48-55], 71% female, median estimated glomerular filtration rate 42 mL/min/1.73 m(2) [interquartile range: 41-58]) developed eight episodes of hepatic cyst infection during 342 patient-years of lanreotide use (0.23 cases per 10 patient-years). These events were limited to patients receiving lanreotide (p <0.001 vs. standard care). Baseline characteristics were similar between subjects who did or did not develop a hepatic cyst infection during lanreotide use, except for a history of hepatic cyst infection (29 vs. 0.7%, p <0.001). Previous studies with somatostatin analogs reported cyst infections, but did not identify a causal relationship. Conclusions These data suggest an increased risk for hepatic cyst infection during use of somatostatin analogs, especially in ADPKD patients with a history of hepatic cyst infection. The main results are still awaited to fully appreciate the risk-benefit ratio

Tubular Secretion of Creatinine in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease:Consequences for Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Performance of Kidney Function Estimating Equations

<p>Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by renal tubular cell proliferation and dedifferentiation, which may influence tubular secretion of creatinine (CCr[TS]).</p><p>Study Design: Diagnostic test study.</p><p>Setting & Participants: We therefore investigated CCr(TS) in patients with ADPKD and controls and studied consequences for the performance of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations.</p><p>Index & Reference Tests: In patients with ADPKD and healthy controls, we measured GFR as I-125-iothalamate clearance while simultaneously determining creatinine clearance.</p><p>Other Measurements: 24-hour urinary albumin excretion.</p><p>Results: In 121 patients with ADPKD (56% men; mean age, 40 +/- 11 [SD] years) and 215 controls (48% men; mean age, 53 +/- 10 years), measured GFR (mGFR) was 78 +/- 30 and 98 +/- 17 mL/min/1.73 m(2), respectively, and CCr(TS) was 15.9 +/- 10.8 and 10.9 +/- 10.6 mL/min/1.73 m(2), respectively (P <0.001). The higher CCr(TS) in patients with ADPKD remained significant after adjustment for covariates and appeared to be dependent on mGFR. Correlation and accuracy between mGFR and CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) estimated GFR (eGFR) were 0.95 and 99%, respectively; between mGFR and MDRD (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease) Study eGFR, they were 0.93 and 97%, respectively. Values for bias, precision, and accuracy were similar or slightly better than in controls. In addition, change in mGFR during 3 years of follow-up in 45 patients with ADPKD correlated well with change in eGFR.</p><p>Limitations: Cross-sectional, single center.</p><p>Conclusions: CCr(TS) in patients with ADPKD is higher than that in controls, but this effect is limited and observed at only high-normal mGFR. Consequently, the CKD-EPI and MDRD Study equations perform relatively well in estimating GFR and change in GFR in patients with ADPKD. (C) 2013 by the National Kidney Foundation, Inc.</p>

Urine and Plasma Osmolality in Patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease: Reliable Indicators of Vasopressin Activity and Disease Prognosis?

Background: Vasopressin plays an essential role in osmoregulation, but has deleterious effects in patients with ADPKD. Increased water intake to suppress vasopressin activity has been suggested as a potential renoprotective strategy. This study investigated whether urine and plasma osmolality can be used as reflection of vasopressin activity in ADPKD patients. Methods: We measured urine and plasma osmolality, plasma copeptin concentration, total kidney volume (TKV, by MRI) and GFR (I-125-iothalamate). In addition, change in estimated GFR (eGFR) during follow-up was assessed. Results: Ninety-four patients with ADPKD were included (56 males, age 40 +/- 10, mGFR 77 +/- 32 ml/min/1.73 m(2), TKV 1.55 (0.99-2.40) l. Urine osmolality, plasma osmolality and copeptin concentration were 420 +/- 195, 289 +/- 7 mOsmol/l and 7.3 (3.2-14.6) pmol/l, respectively. Plasma osmolality was associated with copeptin concentration (R = 0.54, p <0.001), whereas urine osmolality was not (p = 0.4). In addition, urine osmolality was not associated with TKV (p = 0.3), in contrast to plasma osmolality (R = 0.52, p <0.001) and copeptin concentration (R = 0.61, p <0.001). Fifty-five patients were followed for 2.8 +/- 0.8 years. Baseline plasma and urine osmolality were not associated with change in eGFR (p = 0.6 and p = 0.3, respectively), whereas baseline copeptin concentration did show an association with change in eGFR, in a crude analysis (St. beta = -0.41, p = 0.003) and also after adjustment for age, sex and TKV (St. beta = -0.23, p = 0.05). Conclusions: These data suggest that neither urine nor plasma osmolality are valid measures to identify ADPKD patients that may benefit from increasing water intake. Copeptin appears a better alternative for this purpose. (C) 2015 S. Karger AG, Base

Association of plasma somatostatin with disease severity and progression in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease

BackgroundSomatostatin (SST) inhibits intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production and thus may modify cyst formation in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We investigated whether endogenous plasma SST concentration is associated with disease severity and progression in patients with ADPKD, and whether plasma SST concentrations change during treatment with a vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist or SST analogue.MethodsIn this observational study, fasting concentrations of SST were measured in 127 ADPKD patients (diagnosed upon the revised Ravine criteria) by ELISA. cAMP was measured in 24h urine by Radio Immuno Assay. Kidney function was measured (mGFR) as I-125-iothalamate clearance, and total kidney volume was measured by MRI volumetry and adjusted for height (htTKV). Disease progression was expressed as annual change in mGFR and htTKV. Additionally, baseline versus follow-up SST concentrations were compared in ADPKD patients during vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist (tolvaptan) (n=27) or SST analogue (lanreotide) treatment (n=25).ResultsIn 127 ADPKD patients, 4111years, 44% female, eGFR 73 +/- 32ml/min/1.73m(2), mGFR 75 +/- 32ml/min/1.73m(2) and htTKV 826 (521-1297) ml/m, SST concentration was 48.5 (34.3-77.8) pg/ml. At baseline, SST was associated with urinary cAMP, mGFR and htTKV (p=0.02, p=0.004 and p=0.02, respectively), but these associations lost significance after adjustment for age and sex or protein intake (p=0.09, p=0.06 and p=0.15 respectively). Baseline SST was not associated with annual change in mGFR, or htTKV during follow-up (st. =-0.02, p=0.87 and st. =-0.07, p=0.54 respectively). During treatment with tolvaptan SST levels remained stable38.2 (23.8-70.7) pg/mL vs. 39.8 (31.2-58.5) pg/mL, p=0.85), whereas SST levels decreased significantly during treatment with lanreotide (42.5 (33.2-55.0) pg/ml vs. 29.3 (24.8-37.6), p=0.008).Conclusions Fasting plasma SST concentration is not associated with disease severity or progression in patients with ADPKD. Treatment with lanreotide caused a decrease in SST concentration. These data suggest that plasma SST cannot be used as a biomarker to assess prognosis in ADPKD, but leave the possibility open that change in SST concentration during lanreotide treatment may reflect therapy efficacy
