About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Dose-Response Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of AQUAVAN® Injection for Procedural Sedation in Patients Undergoing Colonoscopy

Very often, patients receive sedative medication before a diagnostic, therapeutic, or surgical procedure to help them relax, keep them calm, and to relieve them from pain. This is called procedural sedation. During procedural (mild to moderate) sedation, a patient is first given a pain-relief medication (analgesic) and then a medication to help him/her relax and keep him/her calm (sedative). Propofol is the drug commonly used for sedation because it releases immediately into the blood stream and causes fast sedation. AQUAVAN (fospropofol disodium) is made as a slow release version of propofol, allowing for fast sedation and possibly faster recovery and discharge.

This study is intended to compare several different doses of AQUAVAN in patients having a colonoscopy in order to find the right dose that will get patients to a level of mild to moderate (procedural) sedation.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind study designed to evaluate the dose-response in the sedation success rate for 4 different initial bolus doses of AQUAVAN following pretreatment with an analgesic, fentanyl, in patients undergoing a colonoscopy. A group of patients will receive midazolam as a reference therapy.

Following completion of pre-procedure assessments, patients will be randomly assigned to 1 of 5 IV treatment groups at an equal allocation ratio (25 patients per arm) on the day of the scheduled procedure. Randomization will be stratified by age and ASA status:

AQUAVAN initial bolus dose 1: 8 mg/kg AQUAVAN initial bolus dose 2: 6.5 mg/kg AQUAVAN initial bolus dose 3: 5 mg/kg AQUAVAN initial bolus dose 4: 2 mg/kg Midazolam initial bolus dose: 0.02 mg/kg

A person skilled in airway management and authorized by the facility in which the colonoscopy is performed (such as a respiratory therapist, a study nurse, or a clinician) must be immediately available during the conduct of the study. All patients will be placed on supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula (4 L/min), and a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), pulse oximeter, and blood pressure monitor prior to administration of study medication. All patients will receive an injection of analgesic pretreatment followed by the administration of sedative medication, as described below. This protocol recognizes 2 distinct phases of sedation: Sedation Initiation and Sedation Maintenance. Assessments will be made to evaluate the patients for levels of sedation, clinical benefit, and adverse events as detailed in the protocol. Blood samples will be collected for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis, also detailed in the protocol.

  • Midazolam HClDrug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Three consecutive MOAA/S scores ≤4 after administration of sedative medication AND completing the procedure without requiring the use of alternative sedative medication AND without requiring manual or mechanical ventilation

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Patient's rating of experience after ready for discharge

  2. Principal Investigator's (PI's) rating at end of procedure

  3. Percentage of patients requiring alternative sedative medication

  4. Number of doses/amount of fentanyl administered

  5. Number of doses of study medication administered

  6. Time to sedation, digital rectal examination, start of procedure, reach splenic flexure, hepatic flexure, cecum, end of procedure, and ready for discharge

  7. Percentage of patients requiring repositioning

  8. Percentage of patients whose procedures are interrupted due to inadequate sedation

  9. Time to ready for discharge from end of procedure

  10. Change from baseline DSST score over time during recovery period

  11. Patient's rating at 24 hour post discharge telephone survey

  12. Duration and percent of time when a patient's MOAA/S score is at each level between the first dose of study medications and fully alert and during the procedure

  13. PI's rating of level of sedation prior to initiation of the procedure

  14. Percentage of patients with a mean MOAA/S of 2 to 4 and 0 to 1 during the procedure

  15. MOAA/S over time

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing AQUAVAN® (fospropofol disodium) Injection and Midazolam HCl in people with Colonoscopy and Colonic Polyps, run by Eisai Inc. at 20 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Nov 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Three consecutive MOAA/S scores ≤4 after administration of sedative medication AND completing the procedure without requiring the use of alternative sedative medication AND without requiring manual or mechanical ventilation. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Nov 2008.
