Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of intravenous conivaptan in pediatric subjects with abnormally low concentration of sodium in blood.

Description:

A 3:1 randomization between conivaptan and placebo will be implemented and randomization will be further stratified in a 1:1:2 ratio for age groups: 2-5 years, 6-10 years, and 11-17 years.

Subjects will need to remain hospitalized for the 48-hour Treatment Period through Hour 96 (Day 4). There will be a follow-up safety visit on Day 9 or day of hospital discharge, whichever occurs first. There is a final follow-up phone call at Day 32 to assess if any serious adverse events have occurred since hospital discharge.

• Subject requires the use of medications used in the treatment of Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH): including lithium salts, urea or demeclocycline during the week prior to screening and throughout the study drug treatment period

• Subject has any condition that may interfere with treatment or evaluation of safety

• Subject has received investigational therapy (including placebo) within 28 days or 5 half lives, whichever is longer
