Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a hereditary & progressive disease characterized by gradual enlargement of cysts in both kidneys leading to renal insufficiency, or reduction in kidney function, ultimately leading to End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

What is JINARC®RMP?

  • The JINARC® RMP (Risk Management Program) is designed to manage the risk of serious and potentially fatal liver injury associated with using JINARC®, and the RMP ensures that the benefits of using JINARC® outweigh its risks.
  • There have been reports of acute liver failure requiring liver transplantation in patients with ADPKD on the post-marketing ADPKD experience. Discontinuation in response to laboratory abnormalities or sign or symptoms* of liver injury can reduce the risk of severe hepatotoxicity.
  • *These symptoms may include: fatigue, nausea, abdominal discomfort, fever, rash, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or itching.
