A Study of AQUAVAN® Injection in the Presence of Pre-Medication in Patients Undergoing Elective Colonoscopy
200 participantsStarted 2003-01
Plain-language summary
This study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of AQUAVAN® Injection in providing adequate sedation in patients undergoing colonoscopy. Prior to the procedure, patients received fentanyl citrate for pain management followed five minutes later by AQUAVAN® Injection for sedation. Throughout the procedure, study personnel assessed the patient's vital signs and depth of sedation. After the procedure, the patient, physician, and an evaluator were asked to complete satisfaction surveys.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

What they're measuring
1
The primary efficacy objective was to determine the desired sedative dose/dose range and dosing paradigm of AQUAVAN, defined as one that consistently provided mild-to-moderate sedation (Modified OAA/S >=2 and <=4) in a majority of patients.
. Patients required an elective colonoscopy procedure that was anticipated to be performed in \<60 minutes (i.e., procedure was predicted to be uncomplicated); desired sedation for the colonoscopy procedure; and were determined by the Investigator to be physically capable of maintaining an adequate airway during mild-to-moderate sedation.
Exclusion criteria
. Patients ingested benzodiazepines or barbiturates within 14 days of study start, with the exception of phenobarbital, which required a 21-day washout.
. Patients ingested opioids within 72 hours of study start.
. Patients had current symptoms of upper respiratory infection.
. Patients had a history of allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to any anesthetic agent, narcotic, or benzodiazepine.
. Patients had current signs of significant hiatal hernia, esophageal reflux, or heartburn which, in the opinion of the Investigator, could interfere with maintenance of an adequate airway.
. Patients had a history of alcohol or drug abuse within the past 12 months;
. Patients ingested alcohol or caffeine within 12 hours prior to admission into the study.
. Patients participated in an investigational drug study within 1 month prior to study start.
