What this trial studies

This study aims to develop and validate a shared decision-making (SDM) model for patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) who are considering treatment with tolvaptan. The SDM model includes a patient decision aid, educational materials, and self-monitoring tools delivered through a mobile application. By evaluating the model's effectiveness and feasibility in a multi-center hybrid randomized controlled trial, the study seeks to improve treatment outcomes, patient satisfaction, adherence, and quality of life for participants. The approach emphasizes patient-centered decision-making based on individual values and preferences.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 80 with a diagnosis of ADPKD classified as 1C, 1D, or 1E and chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 2 or 3.

Not a fit: Patients who have previously been exposed to tolvaptan or are contraindicated to its use will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could empower patients with ADPKD to make informed treatment decisions that align with their personal values and improve their overall health outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success with shared decision-making approaches in chronic disease management, indicating potential for this model to be effective as well.
