Study of Efficacy of a Vasopressin 2 Receptor Antagonist M0002 for Treatment of Ascites in Cirrhotic Subjects With Hypo- or Normonatraemia

Cirrhotic Ascites Clinical Trial

Official title: A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Phase II, Dose-titration Trial to Explore the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic Profile and Efficacy of M0002 in Cirrhotic Subjects With Ascites and Hypo- or Normonatraemia.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

M0002, an orally active, selective non-peptidergic antagonist of the vasopressin V2 receptor inhibits vasopressin-induced water reabsorption from the kidney. Therefore the aquaretic effect of M0002 has a potential clinical benefit in the treatment of ascites and hyponatreamia in cirrhotic patients.
