Trial summary

Remimazolam is a recently developed ultra-short agonist acting at the benzodiazepine binding site of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A receptor. Remimazolam has a combination of the hemodynamic stability of benzodiazepines and the advantages of propofol, such as rapid onset, short duration of action, and improved… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Remimazolam and Propofol Anesthesia on Hemodynamic and Recovery Profile in Elderly Patients

Remimazolam is a recently developed ultra-short agonist acting at the benzodiazepine binding site of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A receptor. Remimazolam has a combination of the hemodynamic stability of benzodiazepines and the advantages of propofol, such as rapid onset, short duration of action, and improved controllability.

A recent study showed that the efficacy of two induction doses of remimazolam (6 and 12 mg/kg/h) as a sedative for general anesthesia was not inferior to propofol (2.0-2.5 mg/kg), and hemodynamically more stable. On the other hand, a study on the emergence time and quality between propofol and remimazolam showed inconsistent results.

The purpose of this study is to compare remimazolam to propofol on the intraoperative hemodynamic changes and recovery profiles, when used in combination with remifentanil in elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia.

What participants receive

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

  • Remimazolam Besylate 6 mg/kg/hrDrug

    Also called Byfavo

    Patients will receive remimazolam at 6 mg/kg/hr by continuous infusion until loss of consciousness.

  • Remimazolam Besylate 12 mg/kg/hrDrug

    Also called Byfavo

    Patients will receive remimazolam at 12 mg/kg/hr by continuous infusion until loss of consciousness.

  • PropofolDrug

    Also called Fresofol

    Patients will receive propofol at a target controlled infusion 4 µg/ml until loss of consciousness.

What is being measured

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

  1. difference in the decreased mean arterial pressure

    difference between baseline mean arterial pressure and lowest mean arterial pressure

    Measured: from the start of anesthetics (propofol or remimazolam) injection to the 5 minutes after extubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Remimazolam Besylate 6 mg/kg/hr, Remimazolam Besylate 12 mg/kg/hr and Propofol in people with Hemodynamics, run by Ajou University School of Medicine at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 25 Jul 2023. 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 South Korea. 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?

difference in the decreased mean arterial pressure (time frame: from the start of anesthetics (propofol or remimazolam) injection to the 5 minutes after extubation). 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 25 Jul 2023.
