Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Serum Sodium From Baseline to the 48 Hour Assessment or Study Drug Discontinuation.Baseline and 48 hours

Baseline is the average of the two most recent serum sodium levels prior to start of dosing on day 1.

Hour 48: Hour 48 or time that ended study participation prior to the hour 48 assessment.

Change is calculated as Hour 48 - Baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Serum Sodium Level at Each Time Point Through the 48 Hour AssessmentBaseline, Hour 4, Hour 12, Hour 16, Hour 24, Hour 28, Hour 36, Hour 40 and Hour 48

Baseline is the average of the two most recent serum sodium levels prior to start of dosing on day 1.

Hour 48: Hour 48 or time that ended study participation prior to the hour 48 assessment.

Change is calculated as Actual Data for each time point - Baseline

Time From the First Dose of Study Medication to a Confirmed >4 mEq/L Increase From Baseline in Serum Sodium48 Hours

Confirmed sodium levels refers to two consecutive increases from baseline in sodium of \>4 mEq/L; baseline is the average of the two most recent serum sodium levels prior to start of dosing on day 1.

The endpoint was not evaluable in the placebo arm (median and interquartile range cannot be estimated) or the conivaptan QD arm (interquartile range cannot be estimated) because too high a percentage of patients were censored for the event. Only the conivaptan BID arm will be reported.

Number of Patients With Confirmed Serum Sodium Level > 4 mEq/L Increase From Baseline Over 0 to 48 Hours48 Hours

Confirmed sodium levels refers to two consecutive increases from baseline in sodium of \>4 mEq/L; baseline is the average of the two most recent serum sodium levels prior to start of dosing on day 1.

Number of Patients With Confirmed Serum Sodium Level Increase >6 mEq/L From Baseline or Confirmed Normal Serum Sodium Level (>135 mEq/L) Over the Duration 0 to 48 Hours48 Hours

Confirmed sodium levels refers to two consecutive increases from baseline in sodium of \>6 mEq/L or two consecutive measurements \>135 mEq/L; baseline is the average of the two most recent serum sodium levels prior to start of dosing on day 1.

Baseline -Adjusted Area Under the Curve (AUC) in Serum Sodium Over the Duration 0 to 48 Hours48 Hours

Each individual subject's change from baseline serum sodium levels was used to calculate baseline adjusted area under the curve serum sodium levels for a duration of Time 0 to Time t in hours (labeled as AUC(Na)(0-t). The last available serum sodium level prior to dosing on Day 1 was used as baseline.

"t"=48 Hours

Change From Baseline in Effective Water Clearance (EWC) at Each Time Point Through the 48-hour AssessmentBaseline, Hour 12, Hour 24,Hour 36 and Hour 48

Effective water clearence (EWC) was calculated as EWC=V(1-(Una+Uk)/(Pna+Pk)), where V is urine volume, Una is the urine sodium concentration, Uk is the urine potassium concentration, Pna is the serum/plasma sodium concentration, an Pk is the serum /plasma potassium concentration.

Baseline is the average of the two most recent serum sodium levels prior to start of dosing on day 1.

Hour 48: Hour 48 or time that ended study participation prior to the hour 48 assessment.

Change is calculated as Actual Data for each time point - Baseline

Change From Baseline in Free Water Clearance (FWC) at Each Time Point Through the 48-hour AssessmentBaseline, Hour 24 and Hour 48

Free water clearance (FWC) was calculated as FWC=V(1-Uosm/Posm), where V is urine volume, Uosm is the urine osmolality, Posm is the plasma sodium osmolality.

Baseline is the average of the two most recent serum sodium levels prior to start of dosing on day 1.

Hour 48: Hour 48 or time that ended study participation prior to the hour 48 assessment.

Change is calculated as Actual Data for each time point - Baseline
