Lusedra (Fospropofol Disodium) for Minimal to Moderate Sedation for Regional Anesthesia Block Prior to Orthopedic Surgery

June 25, 2012 updated by: Mayo Clinic

A Prospective Randomized Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Bolus-dose Lusedra (Fospropofol Disodium) 6.5 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg Versus a Placebo (With Midazolam Rescue) for Minimal-to-moderate Sedation in Patients Undergoing Procedural Sedation for Regional Anesthesia Blocks Prior to Orthopedic Surgery

How does Lusedra compare with current standard of care (midazolam) for minimal to moderate sedation for regional anesthesia blocks prior to orthopedic surgery?

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study overall is aimed at establishing the superiority of a single intravenous bolus-dose of Lusedra for routine use in preoperative regional blocks that avoids deeper levels of sedation and increased risk of nerve damage in an over-sedated individual. The shorter half-life of Lusedra should also demonstrate a superior recovery profile compared to midazolam when used as a rescue comparator. While this study will only enroll patients undergoing regional blocks prior to orthopedic surgery, the clinical utility and value of the larger initial intravenous dosing for Lusedra may be evident for many different monitored anesthesia care anesthetic management situations requiring rapid and effective onset of effects.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Achieving Sedation Within 4 Minutes
Time Frame: approximately 4 minutes after administration of first bolus of study drug
Percentage of patients achieving a Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score less than or equal to 4, and the block procedure initiated, within 4 minutes of the administration of the first bolus of study drug. The Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale ranges from 0 (does not respond to deep stimulus) to 6 (agitated). The score of 4 equals "lethargic response to name spoken in normal tone."
approximately 4 minutes after administration of first bolus of study drug
