Effects of Tolvaptan vs Fluid Restriction in Hospitalized Subjects With Dilutional Hyponatremia
SALACIA
Phase 3b, Multicenter, Randomized, Single-blind, Parallel Group Trial of the Effects of Titrated Oral SAMSCA(r) (Tolvaptan) 15, 30, or 60 mg QD Compared to Placebo Plus Fluid Restriction on Length of Hospital Stay and Symptoms in Subjects Hospitalized With Dilutional Hyponatremia

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if hospitalized patients with symptomatic hyponatremia treated with tolvaptan are in the hospital for less time than patients treated with fluid restriction. The study will also test if tolvaptan is better than fluid restriction in treating the symptoms of hyponatremia in hospitalized patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Length of Hospital Stay (LoS)
LoS was time to clinically ready to be hospital discharged (CRBD) from study treatment initiation, disregarding prolonged hospitalization due solely to social factors.
45 days
Secondary Outcomes (7)
Change From Baseline to 48 Hour Post Dose in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) of Hyponatremia Symptoms.
Baseline to 48 hours post dose
Change From Baseline to 24 and 72 Hours Post Dose in CGI-S of Hyponatremia Symptoms.
Baseline to 24 and 72 hours post dose
Change From Baseline to 48 Hours Post Dose in Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) Score of Hyponatremia Symptoms.
Baseline to 48 hours post dose
Change From Baseline in Serum Sodium Concentration (24 Hour Area Under the Curve [AUC]).
0 to 72 hours
Time to First 2-point Improvement in CGI-S Score.
Up to 72 hours
- +2 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Tolvaptan 15-60mg
EXPERIMENTALOral tablet without fluid restriction. After the initial dose, daily dose may be titrated based on response.
Fluid Restriction
ACTIVE COMPARATORPlacebo tablet with prescribed fluid restriction. After the initial dose, level of fluid restriction may titrated based response.
Interventions
15 mg titrated to 30 mg then 60 mg once daily as oral tablet for up to 7 days based on response.
Placebo tablet once daily with prescribed daily fluid intake of 1500 mL, then intensifying to 2 lower volumes of fluid intake for up to 7 days based on response. Since all particpants were blinded to treatment, titration to stricter fluid restriction followed the same algorithm as tolvaptan, increasing both the level of fluid restriction and increasing the placebo "dose"
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Hyponatremia in clinically euvolemic or hypervolemic states, defined as serum sodium \< 130 mEq/L prior to randomization
- Clinically significant symptoms of hyponatremia, defined as a CGI-S score between 3-6, inclusive
- Female subjects of child bearing potential who agree to remain abstinent or to practice double-barrier forms of birth control from screening through 30 days following first dose on IMP
You may not qualify if:
- Women who are pregnant or breast feeding, and females of childbearing potential who are not using acceptable contraceptive methods (such as barrier contraceptives or methods that result in a failure rate of less than 1%)
- Hyponatremia in hypovolemic states, defined as the presence of clinical and historical evidence of extracellular fluid volume depletion, including but not limited to skin turgor, orthostatic changes in blood pressure or heart rate, dry mucous membranes, or a response to IV saline challenge
- Subjects who are likely to require prolonged hospitalization for reasons other than hyponatremia, eg. new femoral fracture, surgeries requiring extended recovery
- Recent prior treatment for hyponatremia: hypertonic saline (including normal saline challenge) (within 8 hours of baseline) or urea, lithium, demeclocycline, conivaptan or tolvaptan (within 4 days of baseline). Includes any treatment, other than fluid restriction for the purpose of increasing serum sodium.
- Hyponatremia symptoms of a severity (eg, CGI = 7) such that they require immediate intervention with hypertonic saline; or are expected to require such therapy within 48 hours
- Causes of neurological symptoms which are attributable to psychological (psychosis), structural (dementia of the Alzheimer's type, stroke, transient ischemic attack, multi-infarct dementia) or other metabolic causes (eg. hyper- or hypo-: oxemia, glycemia, calcemia, ammonemia, etc)
- Acute and transient hyponatremia associated with head trauma or severe neurological injury (eg. stroke, subdural hematoma)or the use of recreational drugs.
- History of hyponatremia known to be due to severe, untreated hypothyroidism/adrenal insufficiency
- Subjects with psychogenic polydipsia
- Systolic arterial blood pressure \< 90 mmHg at screening
- History of hypersensitivity and/or idiosyncratic reaction to benzazepine or benzazepine derivatives (such as benazepril), or tolvaptan
- History of drug or medication abuse within the 3 months prior to screening, or current alcohol abuse
- Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus defined as glucose \> 300 mg/dL \[16.7 mmol/L\]
- Current urinary tract obstruction (eg, obstructive benign prostatic hypertrophy)
- Current condition of anuria
- +6 more criteria
