Inclusion criteria
. Male and female subjects ≥ 4 years of age (or per local Health Authority age restriction) to \< 18 years old and ≥ 10kg
. Subjects hospitalized with euvolemic or hypervolemic hyponatremia resistant to initial standard background therapy (including fluid restriction and excluding a vasopressin antagonist) and who are deemed by the investigator as likely to benefit from a therapy that raises serum sodium levels
. Persistent euvolemic or hypervolemic hyponatremia defined as being documented as present for at least 48 hours, evidenced by at least 2 serum sodium assessments \< 130 mmol/L drawn at least 12 hours apart (these values can be documented using historical values previously obtained per standard of care); a third (STAT) serum sodium assessment \< 130 mmol/L, which will serve as the baseline value for efficacy endpoints, is to be obtained within 2-4 hours prior to the final trial qualification and the first dose of IMP
. Ability to swallow tablets
. Ability to maintain adequate fluid intake whether orally or via IV support with adequate monitoring
. Ability to comply with all requirements of the trial
. Trial-specific written informed consent/assent obtained from a parent/legal guardian or legally acceptable representative, as applicable per age of subject or local laws, prior to the initiation of any protocol required procedures. In addition, the subject as required by local laws must provide informed assent at Screening and must be able to understand that he or she can withdraw from the trial at any time.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

. Ability to commit to remain fully abstinent (periodic abstinence \[eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods\] or withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception) or practice double-barrier birth control during the trial and for 30 days following the last dose of IMP for sexually active females of childbearing potential
Exclusion criteria
. Has evidence of hypovolemia or intravascular volume depletion (eg, hypotension, clinical evidence of volume depletion, response to saline challenge); if the subject has systolic blood pressure or heart rate outside of the normal range for that age volume status should be specifically clinically assessed to rule out volume depletion
. Has serum sodium \< 120 mmol/L, with or without associated neurologic impairment (ie, symptoms such as apathy, confusion, or seizures)
. Subjects ≤ 50 kg taking potent CYP3A4 inhibitors or subjects \< 20 kg taking moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors within 72 hours prior to dosing
. Lacks free access to water (inability to respond to thirst) or without ICU-level fluid monitoring and management
. Has a history or current diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome
. Has transient hyponatremia likely to resolve (eg, head trauma or post-operative state)
. Has hyperkalemia defined as serum potassium above the ULN for the appropriate pediatric age range
. Has eGFR \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 calculated by the following equation:
