About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Effects of Intravenous Lidocaine Infusion During Sedation for Colonoscopy

This study assesses the benefits of continuous intravenous lidocaine administration during sedation for colonoscopy.

Sedation will consist of propofol infusion titrated to provide adequate working conditions to the gastroenterologist. Patients will be randomly allocated into two groups: lidocaine infusion (bolus of 1.5 mg/kg followed by a continuous infusion of 4 mg/kg/h) or the same volume of placebo (normal saline)

Read the detailed description

The potential benefits of lidocaine infusion will be tested on:

  • propofol consumption (primary outcome)
  • intraoperative respiratory depression
  • time for patient recovery
  • postoperative fatigue
  • postoperative pain
  • postoperative cognitive dysfunction
Conditions
Colonoscopy
Being tested
Lidocaine, normal saline
Keywords
colonoscopy, lidocaine, propofol, sedation

What participants receive

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

  • LidocaineDrug

    Also called XYLOCAINE ; (NDA) 006488

    Propofol (0.5 mg/kg or more) is titrated to provide loss of consciousness. Then in the lidocaine group, lidocaine 2% is administered as a bolus followed by a continuous intravenous infusion after loss of consciousness

  • normal salineDrug

    Propofol (0.5 mg/kg or more) is titrated to provide loss of consciousness. Then in the placebo group, the same volume of normal saline is administered after loss of consciousness

What is being measured

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

  1. Consumption of propofol

    Dose of propofol administered during sedation if measured at the end of it.

    Measured: intraoperative

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Episodes of oxygen desaturation

    Episodes of oxygen desaturation: SpO2 < 95 and 90%

    Measured: intraoperative

  2. Time for recovery

    the patient is discharged when conscious and able to give his birth date

    Measured: intraoperative

  3. Quality of working conditions assessed by the gastroenterologist

    Measured: intraoperative

  4. Abdominal discomfort

    Evaluation with VAS (visual analog scale) form 0 (no discomfort) to 10 (unbearable Abdominal discomfort assessed on a 0 to 10 visual analog scale

    Measured: intraoperative and 15 minutes later

  5. Postoperative fatigue

    Fatigue will be assessed on a visual analog scale

    Measured: 15 min after sedation

  6. Cognitive condition

    Cognitive condition will be evaluated with the MMSE (Minimal Mental State Examination)

    Measured: 15 minutes after sedation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Lidocaine and normal saline in people with Colonoscopy, run by University of Liege at 1 site in Belgium.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 3 Jan 2018. 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 Belgium. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Consumption of propofol (time frame: intraoperative). 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 NCT02784860, 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 3 Jan 2018.
