NCT05324852

Brief Summary

This study is a non-inferiority phase III randomized trial evaluating the effect of intranasal midazolam versus intramuscular loxapine on the rapid tranquilization of agitated patient in emergency department. Intranasal midazolam is safe and may allow a management of extreme agitation state and prevent adverse effects.

Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 18 to 60 years;
  • Agitated Patient whose somatic or psychiatric aetiology cannot be diagnosed in an emergency situation and who need a sedation in a hospital emergency setting due to the presence of unmanageable agitation with 3 major criteria.

  • Individuals who are in comatose states or have central nervous system (CNS) depression due to alcohol or are taking other depressant drugs
  • Individuals with severe depressive states, spastic diseases, and with Parkinson's disease, except in the case of dyskinesias due to levodopa treatment
  • In combination with dopamine agonists except levodopa (amantadine, bromocriptine, lisuride, pergolide, piribedil, ropinirole, cabergoline, pramipexole, apomorphine) outside the patient with Parkinson's disease
  • Individuals with a history of cerebrovascular accident or epilepsia
  • Individuals in whom a significant elevation of blood pressure would constitute a serious hazard, such as patients with significant hypertension;
  • Individuals with severe cardiac decompensation
  • Patients with severe respiratory failure or acute respiratory depression
