Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to see whether patients controlling their own sedation during colonoscopy are less likely to need help breathing than when an anesthesiologist controls the medicine, and whether we can predict when the need for help will occur. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase IV, Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Study of the Effects of Patient-Controlled Sedation vs. Anesthesiologist-Administered Sedation With Propofol and Remifentanil on Rate of Disordered Breathing in Subjects Undergoing Elective Colonoscopy

The purpose of this study is to see whether patients controlling their own sedation during colonoscopy are less likely to need help breathing than when an anesthesiologist controls the medicine, and whether we can predict when the need for help will occur. The pump used in the study is approved for clinical use by the FDA, as are the medicines used in the pump.

Conditions
Colonoscopy
Being tested
patient control of pump, anesthesiologist controlled sedation

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • patient control of pumpOther

    Patient controls sedation pump during colonoscopy.

  • anesthesiologist controlled sedationOther

    Anesthesiologist will control the sedation pump during colonoscopy.

Study groups in NCT00868920
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1ExperimentalThe Graseby 3300 PCA pump will be loaded with a mixture of propofol 10 mg/cc containing 10 µg/cc remifentanil. The loading and demand doses will be individualized based on patient weight, height, age, and gender. The initial loading phase of sedation will be performed by the anesthesiologist to permit estimation of patient sensitivity. Following the initial loading dose, a series of button presses will be issued by the anesthesiologist to achieve a state of moderate sedation, as determined by a decrease in BIS to the range of 75-80. Once this state has been reached, the button will be transferred to the patient for Patient C0ntrolled Sedation.
Receives: Other: patient control of pump

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary outcome measure is the depth of sedation,

    Measured: during colonoscopy procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The secondary outcome measure is rate of respiratory depression

    Measured: during colonoscopy procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Colonoscopy, run by University of Pennsylvania at 1 site 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 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

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?

The primary outcome measure is the depth of sedation, (time frame: during colonoscopy procedure). 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 NCT00868920, 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 30 Nov 2017.
