About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Randomized, Open-label Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of AQUAVAN® Injection Versus Midazolam HCl for Sedation in Patients Undergoing Flexible Bronchoscopy Procedures

This study was designed to demonstrate that AQUAVAN® is effective in providing adequate sedation in patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy as well as to assess the safety profile of AQUAVAN versus that of midazolam. Prior to the procedure, patients receive fentanyl citrate for pain management followed five minutes later by either AQUAVAN® Injection or midazolam HCl for sedation. During the procedure, study personnel assess the patient's vital signs and depth of sedation. After the procedure, the patient, physician, and an evaluator are asked to complete satisfaction surveys.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, open-label study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of AQUAVAN® Injection versus midazolam HCl following pretreatment with an analgesic, fentanyl citrate injection, in producing sedation in patients undergoing a flexible bronchoscopy procedure. Randomization will be stratified by site. Following completion of pre-procedure sedation assessments, patients will be randomly assigned to 1 of the 2 i.v. treatment groups at a 3:1 (AQUAVAN® Injection: midazolam HCl) allocation ratio.

All study patients, irrespective of treatment group assignment, will receive fentanyl citrate injection as an analgesic pretreatment. Supplemental doses of fentanyl citrate injection may be administered if the patient reports pain or if inadequate analgesia is present as demonstrated by increased heart rate and/or blood pressure in the presence of adequate sedation. At no time should fentanyl citrate injection be administered to increase sedation levels. AQUAVAN® Injection and midazolam HCl will be administered to induce a state of adequate sedation, defined as a Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness / Sedation (OAA/S) score of 4 or less. Supplemental doses will be administered to increase depth or duration of sedation. Supplemental doses will not be administered if the Modified OAA/S score is 2 or less or if there is no purposeful response to stimulation. The depth of sedation will be measured by the Modified OAA/S scale, a validated measure. Patient and Investigator assessments will be used to confirm that the depth of sedation provided met the goals of sedation, reduction of anxiety and reduced awareness.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sedation success defined for a patient as having 3 consecutive Modified OAA/S scores <=4 and completing the procedure without requiring alternative sedative medications and without requiring manual or mechanical ventilation.

Secondary outcomes (20)
  1. Secondary Efficacy Endpoints

  2. Time to Fully Recovered from end of procedure

  3. Time to Fully Alert from end of procedure

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

  5. Modified OAA/S scores over time during the dosing initiation, procedural, and recovery periods

  6. Duration and percent of time when a patient's Modified OAA/S score is at each level between the first dose of study medications and Fully Alert, inclusive

  7. Duration of sedation

  8. Number of doses of study medication administered for the procedure

  9. Time to sedation

  10. Number of procedure interruptions due to inadequate sedation

  11. Patient's rating of experience after Fully Recovered

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

  13. Investigator's rating at end of procedure

  14. Blinded evaluator's rating after patient is Fully Recovered

  15. Safety Endpoints

  16. Nature, frequency, severity, relationship to treatment, and outcome of all adverse events

  17. Sedation-related adverse events and interventions

  18. Laboratory parameters and vital signs

  19. Airway assistance

  20. Concomitant medications

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing fospropofol disodium in people with Flexible Bronchoscopy, run by Eisai Inc..

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 phase mean?

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 was stopped early (reason given: Patient enrollment was stopped prior to completion of the study in order to re-evaluate the dosing regimen.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Sedation success defined for a patient as having 3 consecutive Modified OAA/S scores <=4 and completing the procedure without requiring alternative sedative medications 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 15 Jun 2023.
