About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Open-label Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial of Etomidate Emulsion for Sedation in Patients Scheduled for Upper GI Endoscopy

The study is designed to explore and compare the efficacy and safety of etomidate and propofol with or without analgesic for painless gastroscopy, and to provide more reliant support for implementation and promotion of comfort care.

Read the detailed description

To widely implement painless gastroscopy is required by diagnose and treatment with gastroscopy due to the large number and significant suffering of the patients. Also, development and exploration of anesthesiology will be bound to prompt the development and exploration of painless gastroscopy. However, the anesthesia risk of painless gastroscopy are usually higher than that of general anesthesia performed in operating room due to the condition, monitoring and equipments as well as the staffing for its implementation. Thus, the finding of a safe and convenient approach for general anesthesia will have a profound impact on a full promotion and implementation of comfortable care.

Etomidate, with the main advantage of little effect on circulatory and respiratory systems, and the features of rapid onset and metabolism, may be helpful to guarantee the safety of painless diagnosis and treatment, thus appropriate for the procedure with short duration of anesthesia. However, there is controversy regarding whether analgesic should be used in combination, as well as how to given the combined regimen.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01729897
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Etomidate & FentanylExperimental* 4 min before procedure: fentanyl 1 μg/kg (0.02 ml/kg), intravenous injection * After injection of fentanyl, etomidate was infused intravenously at rate of 200 ml/h for 30 seconds with unified injection pump, then after interval time of 30 seconds, infusion rate was altered to 500 ml/h and infusion was sustained until patients fell asleep. * Additional dose of etomidate would be administrated separately when duration of procedure was prolonged.
Receives: Drug: Etomidate; Drug: Fentanyl
Propofol & FentanylPlacebo comparator* 4 min before procedure: fentanyl 1 g/kg (0.02 ml/kg), intravenous injection * After injection of fentanyl, propofol was infused intravenously at rate of 200 ml/h for 30 seconds with unified injection pump, then after interval time of 30 seconds, infusion rate was altered to 500 ml/h and infusion was sustained until patients fell asleep. * Additional dose of propofol would be administrated separately when duration of procedure was prolonged.
Receives: Drug: Fentanyl; Drug: Propofol

What is being measured

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

  1. the minimum blood pressure

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration that from the beginning of the surgery to the extraction of the gastroscopy, an expected average of 2 hours

  2. the proportion of hypotension

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration that from the beginning of the surgery to the extraction of the gastroscopy, an expected average of 2 hours

  3. the minimum oxygen saturation of blood

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration that from the beginning of the surgery to the extraction of the gastroscopy, an expected average of 2 hours

  4. Time interval

    the time interval that from the last administration of etomidate to when the patient leave the hospital

    Measured: from the last administration of etomidate to when the patient leave the hospital

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Incidence rate of the side effects

    the side effects include dizziness,nausea,vomit,myoclonia,injection pain,and the awareness during operation

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration from the beginning of the surgery to leaving hospital,an expected average of 4 hours

  2. the cost of the experiment drug

    Measured: the money that the participants spend from the beginning of the surgery to leaving hospital,an expected average of 4 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Etomidate, Fentanyl and Propofol in people with Complication of Gastrostomy, run by Jiangsu Nhwa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd..

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 7 inclusion and 15 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 13 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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 minimum blood pressure (time frame: participants will be followed for the duration that from the beginning of the surgery to the extraction of the gastroscopy, an expected average of 2 hours). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 May 2013.
