About this trial

Remimazolam is primarily metabolized via CES1, and other drugs that are commonly metabolized by CES1 are known to have their pharmacokinetics and clinical effects affected by genetic polymorphisms in CES1.

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the impact of the CES1 genotype on the pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy of remimazolam in patients undergoing elective surgery.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Remimazolam besylate

    Drug

    This is an observational study, meaning that no interventions are actually administered to the participants. However, blood and urine samples will be collected for research purposes. Participants will receive remimazolam besylate for at least 2 hours during anesthesia and surgery. Blood will be drawn to determine the concentration of remimazolam in the blood at the following time points: (1) before remimazolam administration, (2) after remimazolam administration has lasted at least 2 hours without a change in concentration, (3) immediately before discontinuation of remimazolam if there has been a change in concentration since the second blood draw, (4) within 5 minutes of discontinuation, (5) within 15-60 minutes of discontinuation, and (6) 90 minutes after discontinuation. Urine will also be collected after the end of anesthesia to check for metabolites of remimazolam.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Dose-adjusted steady-state concentration of remimazolam

Determine the dose-adjusted steady-state concentration of remimazolam using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

Time frame
Immediately before the initiation of remimazolam administration ~ 120 minutes after the cessation of remimazolam
2

Maintenance dose of remimazolam for maintaining general anesthesia

Hourly maintenance dose of remimazolam for maintaining general anesthesia

Time frame
Immediately before the initiation of remimazolam administration ~ 120 minutes after the cessation of remimazolam
3

Total dose of remimazolam used to induce general anesthesia

Determine the total dose of remimazolam to achieve loss of consciousness (LOC). Modified Observer's Alertness/Sedation Scale (MOAA/S) \<2 indicates LOC. The MOAA/S scale assesses a patient's level of alertness and response to stimulation, and is scored on a 6-point scale (6: awake and alert, 1: deeply asleep and unresponsive to any stimulus).

Time frame
Initiation of remimazolam administration ~ 5 minutes after start of remimazolam

Secondary outcomes

1

Time to LOC after remimazolam administration during anesthesia induction

Determine the time to achieve LOC after remimazolam dosing.

Time frame
Initiation of remimazolam administration ~ 5 minutes after start of remimazolam
2

Time to bispectral index(BIS) < 60 after remimazolam administration during anesthesia induction

Determine the time to achieve BIS \<60 after remimazolam dosing

Time frame
Initiation of remimazolam administration ~ 10 minutes after start of remimazolam
3

Changes in BIS during induction and maintenance of anesthesia

Measure BIS during anesthesia

Time frame
Initiation of remimazolam administration ~ 30 minutes after cessation of remimazolam
4

Percentage maintained BIS >60 during general anesthesia

Calculate "Time maintained BIS \>60 / Time remimazolam administered"

Time frame
Initiation of remimazolam administration ~ Cessation of remimazolam(up to 10 hours after start of remimazolam administration)
