A Phase 3 Open-Label, Single Arm Study to Assess the Safety of AQUAVAN® (Fospropofol Disodium) Injection for Minimal-to-Moderate Sedation in Patients Undergoing Minor Surgical Procedures
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating AQUAVAN® (fospropofol disodium) Injection for Procedural Sedation. Completed, enrolled 123 participants across 15 sites.
Detailed Summary
Very often patients receive medications before a diagnostic, therapeutic, or surgical procedure to help them relax, keep them calm, and to relieve them from pain. This is called procedural sedation. With respect to minimal-to-moderate procedural sedation for minor surgical procedures, a patient is first given a pain-relief medication (analgesic) and then a medication to help him/her relax and keep calm (sedative). AQUAVAN is a chemically modified form of propofol, a commonly-used sedative drug. AQUAVAN acts like a slow release version of propofol, and is being studied to see if it can safely keep patients calm and relaxed during their medical procedure and then allow for rapid and clear-headed recovery.
