Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group forced up-titration study. Randomization will be stratified according to the patient's baseline serum sodium concentration (137-144 and \<137 mmol/L). The dose of study drug will be increased to the next level on Day 15, and the total duration of the double-blind treatment period is 120 days.
