Study Overview

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two sedation regimens-remimazolam and midazolam-for colonoscopy in adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does remimazolam provide patient satisfaction that is non-inferior to midazolam during colonoscopy?
  • Does remimazolam allow faster recovery and discharge readiness compared to midazolam?

Researchers will compare sedation with remimazolam plus fentanyl to sedation with midazolam plus fentanyl to see if remimazolam improves patient experience and procedural efficiency.

Participants will:

  • Receive either remimazolam or midazolam, each combined with fentanyl, during their scheduled colonoscopy
  • Complete a short questionnaire to rate their satisfaction after the procedure
  • Be assessed for recovery using a standardized discharge score at 10 and 20 minutes after the procedure

Arms & Interventions

Arm 2 (Remimazolam + Fentanyl)

Active Comparator

ARM 2: Participants receive intravenous remimazolam plus fentanyl for procedural sedation during colonoscopy

Intervention: Intravenous remimazolam (5 mg initially, with optional 2.5 mg boluses) plus fentanyl (100 mcg) for procedural sedation. (Drug)

Arm 1 (Midazolam + Fentanyl)

Active Comparator

Arm Description: ARM 1: Participants receive intravenous midazolam plus fentanyl for procedural sedation during colonoscopy.

Intervention: Intravenous midazolam (3 mg initially, with optional 3 mg boluses) plus fentanyl (100 mcg) for procedural sedation. (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Patient satisfaction

Time Frame: Immediately post-procedure

Proportion of patients reporting at least "satisfied" with sedation (Likert scale 1-4, 3 or 4 points)

Secondary Outcomes

  • Discharge readiness 10'(10 minutes post-procedure)
  • Patient high satisfaction(Immediately post-procedure)
  • Maximum net benefit(10 minutes post-procedure)
  • Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events(Throughout the observation period (i.e., until discharge))
  • Dischatge readiness 20'(20 minutes post-procedure)
