Digital Sedation: Virtual Reality Hypnosis During Colonoscopy (COLDiS)

September 29, 2022 updated by: Oncomfort

A Prospective Randomized Controlled Monocentric Study Comparing Digital Sedation Versus Intravenous Sedation Among Patients Undergoing Colonoscopy

This prospective Randomized Controlled Trial will evaluate efficacy, safety, and pharmacoeconomic outcomes in patients undergoing colonoscopy with either Digital Sedation using the Aqua© module of the Oncomfort device (Sedakit TM) or the standard of care, intravenous sedation with propofol. The Aqua© module is designed for sedation and management of pain and anxiety related to medical and surgical procedures.

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

Detailed Description

This prospective Randomized Controlled Trial will evaluate efficacy, safety, and pharmacoeconomic outcomes in patients undergoing colonoscopy with either Digital Sedation using the Aqua© module of the Oncomfort device (Sedakit TM) or the standard of care, intravenous sedation with propofol. The Aqua© module is designed for sedation and management of pain and anxiety related to medical and surgical procedures.

Participants will be recruited during the anesthesiology consultation conducted in preparation for colonoscopy. Those with indication for screening or diagnostic colonoscopy under conventional intravenous sedation (propofol) and willing to participate will provide their written informed consent and will be randomized (2:1) between two arms:

  1. Experimental arm: Digital Sedation, with rescue intravenous sedation (propofol) if needed upon patient request
  2. Control arm: conventional intravenous sedation (propofol)

The study will be divided into three stages, with randomization (2:1) maintained throughout. In the first stage, accrual will be halted when about 45 patients have been randomized, at least 27 of whom being evaluable patients randomized to the experimental arm. A non-binding futility analysis is planned for the primary outcome. In the second stage, accrual will be halted when about 90 patients have been randomized. A non-binding futility analysis is planned for the primary outcome. If the milestones are met, accrual will be reopened to the second stage and the study will continue to the planned final accrual of 177 patients (118 to experimental and 59 to control arm, respectively). At the end of the recruitment of Stage 1 and 2, an analysis of the secondary outcomes will also be run. Results of these analysis could also impact the decision for pursuing to second/ third stage.

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

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.
Experimental: Digital Sedation
Digital Sedation with rescue intravenous sedation (propofol) if needed upon patient request
Device: Aqua© 30 on Oncomfort SedakitTM
Digital Sedation session consists in a virtual reality software (Aqua© 30 Version 3.0, Oncomfort SA, Waver, Belgium) including a clinical hypnosis script.Patients in the intervention group will undergo a 30-minute Digital Sedation program through a VR headset and headphones. This medical device called Oncomfort SedakitTM has been created to reduce anxiety and pain during medical/ surgical interventions
Drug: Propofol
Standard sedation starting doses of 1 µg/ml to 6 µg/ml depending on patient's reaction and titrated incrementally by 0.5µg/ml. Doses are adapted according to the level of comfort and needs of the patient.
Active Comparator: Intravenous sedation
Control arm with conventional Intravenous sedation
Drug: Propofol
