Trial summary

The study is looking to see if a new drug (remimazolam) that is used to sedate and relax adults (aged 18-59 years) having dental treatment is better than the current drug in use (midozolam). Intravenous sedation is where a drug is injected into a patient's hand or arm. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase III Randomised, Triple-blind Controlled Superiority Trial of Remimazolam (CNS 7056), Compared to Midazolam, in Adults Having Lower Third Molar Wisdom Tooth Extraction Under Intravenous Conscious Sedation to Assess Cognitive and Motor Recovery at Normal Discharge Time

The study is looking to see if a new drug (remimazolam) that is used to sedate and relax adults (aged 18-59 years) having dental treatment is better than the current drug in use (midozolam). Intravenous sedation is where a drug is injected into a patient's hand or arm. The drug stops them feeling worried, and helps them relax. After sedation, patients wait in a recovery area until they are safe to walk but the side effects of the drug can last until the next day. A new drug has been developed that has the same sedation effect and safety, but the recovery is much quicker. The investigators think that the side effects from the new drug will have worn off by the time patients are ready to leave the hospital. Patients who are coming to Guy's Hospital to have their wisdom tooth extracted under sedation will be asked if they want to be included in the research. Patients will be randomised to receive either remimazolam of standard of care midazolam. The sedation and dental treatment will be carried out in the normal way.

The patients will be asked to do will be some questionnaires and some tests which are as follows:

  1. Patients are asked to listen to some words and repeat them back. This tests how well they can remember new information
  2. Reaction test - Patients are asked to rest their fingers on a keypad and move their fingers when lights come on above them. This tests how quick their reactions are.
  3. Symbol test- Patients are asked to draw small shapes that are linked to numbers. This tests how well they can process information.
  4. Standing test- Patients are asked to stand on a platform that measures how much they are swaying back and forth. This tests how stable they are to walk.

By testing people before and after the sedation the investigators can see how they recovered and compare the two drugs. The research will take place during the day case visit and involve 2 x 30 mins research assessments (before sedation and post sedation). After the post-sedation tests, participants will be discharged, followed by a telephone review 3-10 days post procedure.

Read the detailed description

This study will be performed as a prospective, randomised, triple blind, active controlled, parallel group, single centre study design assessing enhanced cognitive recovery in patients having third molar wisdom tooth extraction under intravenous conscious sedation with remimazolam. An active control group has been chosen using intravenous midazolam which is the current standard of care in Dentistry. 128 patients will be randomised, of which n=64 will receive remimazolam, and n=64 in the midazolam group.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
RemimazolamExperimentalWhite to off-white lyophilised powder, presented in a 12 mL clear glass vial with a grey bromobutyl stopper, fitted with an aluminium crimp and a blue plastic flip-off cap. Each 20 mg vial of remimazolam, will be reconstituted with sterile 0.9% NaCl solution to yield a 2.5 mg/mL solution for injection. An initial dose of 5mg (2mL) over 60 seconds, pausing for 90 seconds, followed by 2.5mg (1mL) over 30 seconds and waiting 30 seconds will be titrated to response end point. Subsequent doses of 2.5mg (1 mL) increments can be administered if required should the procedure take longer, or the patient recover more quickly than expected, to maintain the sedation level. Top-up doses will be administered slowly, at least 2 minutes apart. Top-up doses will be limited to a maximum of 5 doses in a 15-minute window. Additionally, a maximum dose of 40mg of remimazolam (16mL) will be set.
Receives: Drug: Remimazolam
MidazolamActive comparatorMidazolam will be presented as a solution in a 5 mL ampoule. Each ampoule will contain 5 mg of midazolam, yielding a 1 mg/mL solution for injection. Dosing of midazolam was based on local formulary and standard of care / local guidance. An initial dose of 2mg (2mL) over 60 seconds, pausing for 90 seconds, followed by 1mg (1mL) over 30 seconds and waiting 30 seconds will be titrated to response end point. Subsequent doses of 1mg (1 mL) increments can be administered if required should the procedure take longer, or the patient recover more quickly than expected, to maintain the sedation level.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Remimazolam and Midazolam in people with Tooth Extraction, run by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 6 inclusion and 17 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Dec 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Bryan Kerr (02071887188, bryan.kerr@kcl.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hopkins Verbal Learning Test Revised (HVLT-R) (time frame: On day 1. At time T60 (60 minutes after last dose of IMP)). 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 5 Dec 2023.
