What JYNARQUE Does

JYNARQUE® (tolvaptan) may help change the course of your disease

Kidney function

JYNARQUE is the first-and-only FDA-approved treatment proven to slow kidney function decline in adults who are at risk for rapidly progressing autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD)

JYNARQUE slows the decline in kidney function

Kidney pain

Patients taking JYNARQUE had less kidney pain

In a clinical trial of ADPKD patients with CKD stages 1 to 3,

patients taking JYNARQUE had

36% fewer pain events

requiring medication or other treatment than those taking placebo.

 

Treatment was defined as:

  • Prescribed leave
  • Surgery
  • Radiologic treatment

Disease stages

JYNARQUE works at different stages of disease

JYNARQUE is for people at risk of having fast-progressing ADPKD.

JYNARQUE is appropriate in adults at stages 1 to 4 of CKD with rapidly progressing disease. Whether your GFR is 90 or 30, JYNARQUE may help.

JYNARQUE is a long-term treatment that has been studied in many patients

  • JYNARQUE has been studied in over 3000 people with ADPKD
  • For people who do not have kidney failure, JYNARQUE may help by slowing the loss of function for as long as they keep taking it
  • JYNARQUE may change the course of your disease by slowing kidney function decline as it works over a period of years. As you take JYNARQUE, remember that it is a long-term treatment and can take time to make a difference

How JYNARQUE works

How does JYNARQUE work?

JYNARQUE works by targeting one of the mechanisms that lead cysts to grow in people with ADPKD.

CYST JYNARQUE works by preventing vasopressin from binding in the kidneys, making it harder for cysts to grow J JYNARQUE Receptor Vasopressin is a hormone that maintains the volume of water in the fluid space surrounding the cells. People with ADPKD have too much vasopressin, causing kidney cysts to grow. V V V V V V V V V V V
