About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Dose-Controlled Study To Assess The Efficacy And Safety Of AQUAVAN® (Fospropofol Disodium) Injection For Minimal-To-Moderate Sedation In Patients Undergoing Flexible Bronchoscopy

Very often patients receive 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 with a longer duration of effect.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, dose-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AQUAVAN 6.5 mg/kg compared to a minimally effective dose of AQUAVAN 2.0 mg/kg, both following pretreatment with an analgesic, fentanyl in patients who are undergoing flexible bronchoscopy.

Following completion of preprocedure assessments, patients will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups at a 2:3 (AQUAVAN initial dose 1 [2.0 mg/kg]:AQUAVAN initial dose 2 [6.5 mg/kg] allocation ratio on the day of the scheduled procedure. Randomization will be stratified by site.

A person skilled in airway management (such as a respiratory therapist, a study nurse, or a clinician) and authorized by the facility in which the colonoscopy is performed 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 an ECG monitor, pulse oximeter, and blood pressure monitor will be attached prior to administration of study medication. All patients will receive analgesic pretreatment (fentanyl citrate injection for pain; lidocaine for topical anesthetic followed by the administration of study medication. Assessments will be made to evaluate the patients for levels of sedation, clinical benefit of sedation, and adverse events. Blood samples will be collected for PK analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sedation Success rate is defined as: Having 3 consecutive Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAA/S) scale scores of ≤4 after administration of sedative medication

  2. Completing the procedure

  3. Without requiring the use of alternative sedative medication

  4. Without requiring manual or mechanical ventilation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Treatment Success rate - Treatment Success is defined as a patient (i) completing the procedure (ii) without requiring alternative sedative medications AND (iii) without requiring manual or mechanical ventilation

  2. Proportion of patients willing to be treated again with the same study sedative medication

  3. Proportion of patients who do not recall being awake during the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing AQUAVAN® (fospropofol disodium) Injection in people with Bronchoscopy and Anesthesia, run by Eisai Inc. at 25 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 25 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 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 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?

Sedation Success rate is defined as: Having 3 consecutive Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAA/S) scale scores of ≤4 after administration of sedative medication. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00306722, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
