Background and objectivesThe two largest studies of mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) demonstrated no clear benefit on the primary endpoint of total kidney volume (TKV) or on eGFR. The present study evaluated two levels of rapamycin on the 12-month change in I-125-iothalamate GFR (iGFR) as the primary endpoint and TKV secondarily.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsIn a 12-month open-label pilot study, 30 adult patients with ADPKD were randomly assigned to low-dose (LD) rapamycin (rapamycin trough blood level, 2-5 ng/ml) (LD group, n=10), standard-dose (STD) rapamycin trough level (>5-8 ng/ml) (STD group, n=10), or standard care (SC group, n=10). They were evaluated with iGFR and noncontrast computed tomography.ResultsChange in iGFR at 12 months was significantly higher in the LD group (7.712.5 ml/min per 1.73 m(2); n=9) than in the SC group (-11.2 +/- 9.1 ml/min per 1.73 m(2); n=9) (LD versus SC: P
