Study summary

Study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of remimazolam in patients undergoing endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration

Primary Outcome Evaluate and compare the success of the procedure in patients undergoing EBUS-TBNA (Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration) when administered with remimazolam in the experimental group, versus Real world midazolam (Control Group 1), and On label midazolam (Control Group 2).

Secondary Outcome In patients undergoing EBUS-TBNA, compare the following aspects when administered with remimazolam in the experimental group versus Real world midazolam (Control Group 1) and On label midazolam (Control Group 2): Procedure start time, Time taken to achieve full alertness, Need for flumazenil administration, Total dose of fentanyl used, Scale of coughing/discomfort/convenience, Changes in vital signs, Complications related to the procedure.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Procedural success during EBUS-TBNA (composite outcome)

    Success of the bronchoscopy procedure, Completion of the bronchoscopy procedure, No requirement for a rescue sedative medication, In the case of remimazolam and placebo, no requirement for more than 5 top-ups of study medication within any 15 minute period; in the case of midazolam, no requirement for more than 3 doses in any 12 minute window

    Time frame: Up to the end of the procedure (up to 1 hour)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to start of procedure after administration of the first dose of study medication

    Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness and Sedation (MOAA/S)≤3 MOAA/S scores: 5 = Responds readily to name spoken in normal tone \[alert\], 4 =Lethargic response to name spoken in normal tone, 3 = Responds only after name is called loudly and/or repeatedly, 2 = Responds only after mild prodding or shaking, 1 = Responds only after painful trapezius squeeze, 0 = Does not respond to painful trapezius squeeze. MOAA/S scores were assessed by the investigators.

    Time frame: Time from administration of the first dose of study medication to the start of procedure (MOAA/S ≤3) (up to 1 hour)

  2. Time taken to achieve full alertness after the procedure

    MOAA/S=5 MOAA/S scores: 5 = Responds readily to name spoken in normal tone \[alert\], 4 =Lethargic response to name spoken in normal tone, 3 = Responds only after name is called loudly and/or repeatedly, 2 = Responds only after mild prodding or shaking, 1 = Responds only after painful trapezius squeeze, 0 = Does not respond to painful trapezius squeeze. MOAA/S scores were assessed by the investigators.

    Time frame: Time from end of the procedure to first of three consecutive MOAA/S scores =5 (up to 1 hour)

  3. Requirement for flumazenil dosage during the procedure

    If MOAA/S score 5 is not reached after bronchoscopy, flumazenil will be administered. Total amount of flumazenil dosage during the procedure is measured. MOAA/S scores: 5 = Responds readily to name spoken in normal tone \[alert\], 4 =Lethargic response to name spoken in normal tone, 3 = Responds only after name is called loudly and/or repeatedly, 2 = Responds only after mild prodding or shaking, 1 = Responds only after painful trapezius squeeze, 0 = Does not respond to painful trapezius squeeze. MOAA/S scores were assessed by the investigators.

    Time frame: From the end of procedure to discharge of bronchoscopy room (up to 1 hour)

  4. Total fentanyl dose

    Total amount of fentanyl during the procedure

    Time frame: From the start of procedure to the end of procedure (up to 1 hour)

  5. Scale of coughing/discomfort/inconvenience

    Coughing/discomfort/convenience visual analogue scale (Patients mark a point on a straight line corresponding to their perception of the severity of the cough, discomfort, and inconvenience. VAS ranges 0-100, with 0 representing minimal severity and 100 representing maximal severity)

    Time frame: After the end of procedure (up to 1 hour)

  6. Changes in blood pressure

    Changes of blood pressure (mmHg) assessed by 5 minutes

    Time frame: From the start of procedure to the end of procedure (up to 1 hour)

  7. Changes of heart rate

    Changes of heart rate (rates/minutes) assessed by 5 minutes

    Time frame: From the start of procedure to the end of procedure (up to 1 hour)

  8. Changes in respiration rate

    Changes of respiration rate (rates/minutes) assessed by 5 minutes

    Time frame: From the start of procedure to the end of procedure (up to 1 hour)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 23, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
