Title: SR121463B in Cirrhotic Ascites Treatment With Hyponatraemia: A Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Comparison Study
Brief Summary: The primary objective is to determine the optimal dose or range of doses of SR121463B for the treatment of ascites and the correction of hyponatraemia when used concomitantly with a standard dose regimen of spironolactone.

The secondary objective is to determine the tolerability of different fixed doses of SR121463B over a 14 day treatment period in cirrhotic ascites.

This Hypo\~CAT study is followed by a single-blind, placebo-controlled, one-year long-term safety extension (Expo\~CAT). The first extension is followed by another long-term study (PASCCAL-1).


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or Female patients aged 18 higher
