About this study

Official title: Propofol and Fentanyl Versus Midazolam and Fentanyl for Sedation During Diagnostic or Therapeutic Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Cirrhotic Patients

The purpose of this study is to compare propofol associated with fentanyl versus midazolam plus fentanyl for sedation during diagnosis or therapeutic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGE) in cirrhotic patients.

Read the detailed description

UGE is often performed in cirrhotic patients for the diagnosis and treatment of portal hypertension complications. Current data suggests that propofol sedation may have advantages over benzodiazepines. However, there are few reports comparing propofol versus midazolam in patients with liver cirrhosis. The study's objective is to compare propofol associated with fentanyl versus midazolam plus fentanyl for sedation during diagnosis or therapeutic UGE in cirrhotic patients. A prospective randomized study will include cirrhotic patients (Child A, B or C and ASA 2 or 3), referred for diagnostic or therapeutic UGE, randomized for group I: propofol (0,5 mg/kg up to 400 mg) and fentanyl (0,05 mg); or group II: midazolam (0,1 mg/kg) and fentanyl. Sedation was performed by an exclusively dedicated gastroenterologist. Efficacy (completion of procedures), complications (hypoxemia, hypotension, arrhythmias) and recovery time (elapsed from the end of the procedure and discharge) will be studied.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Propofol, Midazolam and Fentanyl in people with Cirrhosis, run by Federal University of São Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

To compare propofol and fentanyl versus midazolam and fentanyl regarding safety and efficiency (time frame: Three months). 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 May 2009.
