The goal of the study was to compare and evaluate safety and efficacy of tesevatinib 50 milligrams (mg) versus placebo in participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

Safety and efficacy of 50 mg tesevatinib in comparison to placebo in participants with ADPKD was assessed.

The primary purpose of this study was focused on evaluating the change from Baseline in height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV) as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at Months 12, 18, and 24, and 30 days post-dose in participants with ADPKD treated with tesevatinib or placebo.

If eligible for the study participation, participants were randomly assigned to either investigational treatment group or placebo group. Treatment group received 50 mg tesevatinib once daily for 24 months and control group received the placebo once daily for 24 months.

Inclusion Criteria:

• ADPKD diagnosis based on Ravine's criteria.

• htTKV must meet the following requirements: >= 500 milliliters (mL) for participants 18-35 years of age; >= 750 mL for participants 36-49 years of age; >= 900 mL for participants 50-60 years of age.
