You may qualify if:

• Patients judged as having cirrhosis based on previous imaging diagnosis (Definition of cirrhosis includes patients with collateral circulation due to chronic hepatic impairment)
• Patients with ascites in whom the dose of existing diuretics cannot be increased due to risk of adverse drug reactions such as electrolyte abnormalities, or in whom sufficient therapeutic effect cannot be obtained with existing diuretics
• Patients who have been receiving oral combination therapy with a loop diuretic and an anti-aldosterone agent from at least 7 days prior to receipt of informed consent, with a dose combination of either loop diuretic equivalent to furosemide 40 mg/day or higher plus spironolactone 25 mg/day or higher, or loop diuretic equivalent to furosemide 20 mg/day or higher plus spironolactone 50 mg/day or higher
• Patients who are hospitalized or who can be hospitalized for the trial - Age 20 to 80 years inclusive
• Patients capable of giving informed consent
• Patients who, together with their partner, agree to use an appropriate method of contraception until 4 weeks after the final trial drug administration

You may not qualify if:

• Patients with any of the following complications or symptoms:
• Hepatic encephalopathy (hepatic coma of grade 2 or higher)
• Hepatocellular carcinoma with imaging-diagnosed vascular infiltration into trunk or primary branch of portal vein, inferior vena cava, or trunk of hepatic vein
• Endoscopic findings from screening examination or from within 30 days prior to screening examination indicating the need for new therapy for esophageal or gastric varices during the trial period
• Repeated hemorrhoidal bleeding due to rectal varicose veins within 30 days prior to informed consent
• Heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III or IV)
