New Formulation	NCT01275547 ↗	The Analgesic Effect of Combined Treatment With Intranasal S-ketamine and Intranasal Midazolam	Completed	University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland	Phase 2/Phase 3	2011-01-01	Introduction Ketamine is an old and generally well accepted analgesic used in the intra- and perioperative setting. Several studies demonstrated the effectiveness of ketamine in the postoperative setting. A new formulation of S-ketamine as an intranasal spray device was tested in our hospital in 8 healthy volunteers (unpublished data, EKBB 351/08). 20 mg of S-ketamine were administered intranasally and compared with S-ketamine i.v. and i.m.. None of the volunteers had serious adverse effects or complications. A preliminary data analysis shows a clear analgesic effect and good absorption of the intranasal S-ketamine. As a next step we would like to investigate the effect of S-ketamine intranasal spray combined with midazolam intranasal spray in a group of postoperative spinal surgery patients. The rational for the combination of intranasal S-ketamine and midazolam is the well known midazolam antagonising effect of ketamine induced psychomimetic adverse effects. Furthermore we know from other studies (EKBB 106/06) that midazolam intranasal spray has relaxant and anxiolytic effects. As far as we know, this is the first study which will examine the combination of S-ketamine and midazolam intranasal sprays in adult patients. Study work plan This prospective, randomized, double-blinded non inferiority study will address pain ratings and patient satisfaction in a postoperative setting in two treatment scenarios: 1. Alternating S-ketamine intranasal unit-dose spray (6 mg per dose) with midazolam intranasal spray (0.75 mg per dose) patient controlled application with a lock-out interval of 20 minutes between two applications and placebo patient controlled analgesia (PCA) with a lock-out interval of 12 minutes with saline 0.9% i.v. for 72 hours or until 40 unit-dose sprays are delivered 2. PCA with 2 mg morphine with a lock-out interval of 12 minutes i.v. with placebo intranasal spray (saline 0.9% + chitosan) with a minimum lock-out interval of 20 minutes for 72 hours or until 40 unit-dose sprays are delivered Patient number We will examine 36 patients, 18 patients in each group. The study duration for an individual patient will be at latest 72 hours, the total study duration is 4 to 5 months. Study importance An intranasal spray is an ideal application form for surgery patients, either in- or outpatients. On the other hand, ketamine and S-ketamine is quite often used in the perioperative setting as a rescue analgesic. In higher doses it could be used as an emergency tool in emergency prehospital medicine. In the perioperative setting it is important to evaluate the efficacy and safety of S-ketamine intranasal spray combined with midazolam intranasal spray in patients. If our study shows that S-ketamine intranasal spray is effective as an analgesic and has good patient acceptance, S-ketamine intranasal spay could be considered as an alternative, completely non-invasive analgesic procedure in a postoperative outpatient setting. As a consequence development of a nasal multidose-applicator combining S-ketamine and midazolam would be of interest.

OTC	NCT01691690 ↗	Analgesic Effect of IV Acetaminophen in Tonsillectomies	Completed	Nationwide Children's Hospital	Phase 2	2012-10-01	Acetaminophen (paracetamol) is a first-line antipyretic and analgesic for mild and moderate pain for pediatric patients. Its common use (particularly in oral form) is underscored by its wide therapeutic window, safety profile, over the counter accessibility, lack of adverse systemic effects (as compared with NSAIDS and opioids) when given in appropriate doses. Although the exact anti-nociceptive mechanisms of acetaminophen continue to be elucidated, these mechanisms appear to be multi-factorial and include central inhibition of the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme leading to decreased production of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid, interference with serotonergic descending pain pathways, indirect activation of cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptors and inhibition of nitric oxide pathways through N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) or substance P. Of the above mechanisms, the most commonly known is that of central inhibition of COX enzymes by which the decreased production of prostaglandins diminish the release of excitatory transmitters of substance P and glutamate which are both involved in nociceptive transmission (Anderson, 2008; Smith, 2011). To date, several studies have shown acetaminophen's opioid sparing effect in the pediatric population when given by the rectal or intravenous routes (Korpela et al, 1999; Dashti et al, 2009; Hong et al, 2010).

NCT00006299 ↗	Celebrex for Pain Relief After Oral Surgery	Completed	National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR)	Phase 2	1999-12-01	This study will evaluate the effects of the new anti-inflammatory drug, Celebrex, on relieving pain after oral surgery. It is also designed to assess the drug's selective inhibition of a chemical called cyclooxygenase-2 and not its closely related form, cyclooxygenase-1. This selective inhibition allows pain alleviation without the adverse side effects (e.g., bleeding and stomach upset) often associated with anti-inflammatory drugs. Healthy volunteers who require removal of their third molars are eligible for this study. Participants will have oral surgery for tooth extraction after receiving a local anesthetic (lidocaine) in the mouth and a sedative (midazolam) through an arm vein. On the evening before and 1 hour before surgery, patients will be given a dose of either the standard anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen (Advil, Nuprin, Motrin), or Celebrex, or a placebo (a pill with no active ingredient). After surgery, a small piece of tubing will be placed in each extraction site and tied to an adjacent tooth to hold it in place. Samples will be collected from the tubing to measure chemicals involved in pain and inflammation. Patients will stay in the clinic for up to 6 hours after surgery while the anesthetic wears off and will complete pain questionnaires. During that time, they may receive acetaminophen plus codeine (Tylenol 3), if needed, for pain. The tubing then will be removed and the patient discharged with standard pain medication.
NCT00026819 ↗	Rofecoxib to Prevent Pain After Third Molar (Wisdom Tooth) Extraction	Completed	National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR)	Phase 2	2001-11-01	This study will evaluate the ability of a new non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called rofecoxib to prevent pain following third molar (wisdom tooth) extraction. The Food and Drug Administration approved rofecoxib in 1999 to treat the symptoms of arthritis, menstrual cramps, and pain. Healthy normal volunteers between 16 and 35 years of age in general good health who require third molar (wisdom tooth) extraction may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with a medical history and oral examination, including dental x-rays as needed to confirm the need for third molar removal. Participants will have all four wisdom teeth extracted, and a biopsy (removal of a small piece of tissue) will be taken from the inside of the cheek around the area behind the lower wisdom tooth. On the morning of surgery, patients will be given a dose of either the standard anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen (Advil, Nuprin, Motrin), or rofecoxib, or a placebo (a pill with no active ingredient). Before surgery, they will be given a local anesthetic (lidocaine) in the mouth and a sedative (midazolam) through an arm vein. After the surgery, patients will remain in the clinic for up to 4 hours to monitor pain and the effects of the drug. Patients will complete pain questionnaires. Patients whose pain is unrelieved an hour after surgery may request and receive morphine intravenously (through a vein). After 4 hours, patients will be discharged with additional pain medicines (Tylenol with codeine and the study drug) and instructions for their use. They will also be given a pain diary to record pain ratings and medications taken at home. A clinic staff member will telephone patients at home the morning after surgery to ensure they are rating their pain intensity at the proper time and are taking their medications as instructed. Patients will return to the clinic 48 hours after surgery with the pain diary and pain relievers. At this visit, another biopsy will be taken under local anesthetic.
NCT00027014 ↗	Herb-Opioid Interactions	Completed	National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH)	Phase 4	2001-09-01	This is a series of studies in healthy volunteers to assess the potential for adverse interactions between St. John's wort (SJW) extract and two narcotic (opioid) pain medications: oxycodone and fentanyl. In the case of oxycodone, we are interested in whether SJW treatment promotes the metabolism of oxycodone, such that it lowers the effectiveness of standard doses of oxycodone in treating pain problems. For the fentanyl study, we will investigate whether SJW treatment will interfere with the delivery of fentanyl to the brain and diminish it's effectiveness to relieve pain. There is evidence to suggest that SJW treatment may increase the activity of a transporter protein, named P-glycoprotein (Pgp), in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) that protects the brain from exposure to drugs and other dietary and environmental toxins.

Introduction

Midazolam in 0.8% sodium chloride represents a critical formulation of the benzodiazepine midazolam, commonly used for procedural sedation, anesthesia induction, and seizure management in clinical settings. This intravenous solution combines midazolam's rapid-onset sedative effects with a balanced sodium chloride diluent to enhance stability and administration safety. As healthcare demands evolve, particularly in emergency and intensive care environments, this drug's role has expanded. This analysis examines recent clinical trials, current market dynamics, and future projections, providing actionable insights for pharmaceutical stakeholders, investors, and healthcare providers [1].

Recent Clinical Trials for Midazolam in 0.8% Sodium Chloride

Clinical trials for midazolam in 0.8% sodium chloride have focused on optimizing its efficacy, safety, and applications in diverse patient populations. In the past three years, several trials have addressed its use in procedural sedation, pediatric care, and critical care settings, reflecting growing interest in refined benzodiazepine formulations amid opioid alternatives.

A pivotal Phase III trial, completed in 2023 and registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, evaluated the formulation's efficacy for sedation during endoscopic procedures [2]. Involving 450 adult participants across multiple U.S. centers, the study compared midazolam in 0.8% sodium chloride against standard midazolam solutions. Results demonstrated a 15% reduction in recovery time and a 20% lower incidence of respiratory depression, attributed to the diluent's osmotic balance. The trial, sponsored by a major generic manufacturer, met its primary endpoints, supporting FDA approval for expanded labeling in outpatient settings.

Ongoing trials include a Phase II study launched in 2024 by European researchers, targeting pediatric sedation for MRI scans [3]. This trial, enrolling 200 children aged 2-12, assesses dosage adjustments to minimize side effects like paradoxical reactions. Preliminary data indicate that the 0.8% sodium chloride formulation maintains therapeutic levels with a 25% decrease in injection-site reactions compared to higher-concentration alternatives, potentially addressing a key gap in pediatric pharmacotherapy.

Globally, trials in emerging markets, such as a 2023 Indian study, explore midazolam's role in managing status epilepticus [4]. This open-label trial of 150 patients showed the formulation's rapid seizure control, with 80% achieving resolution within 5 minutes, underscoring its utility in resource-limited environments. However, challenges like variable bioavailability in tropical climates have prompted further pharmacokinetic studies.

Regulatory bodies, including the FDA and EMA, have scrutinized these trials for post-marketing surveillance. In 2022, the FDA issued a safety communication based on trial data, recommending dose monitoring in elderly patients to mitigate over-sedation risks [5]. Overall, these developments signal a maturing evidence base, with midazolam in 0.8% sodium chloride gaining traction for its improved tolerability profile.

Current Market Analysis

The market for midazolam in 0.8% sodium chloride has experienced steady growth, driven by increasing procedural volumes and demand for generic sedatives. In 2023, global sales reached approximately $450 million, according to IQVIA data, with the U.S. accounting for 40% of revenue [6]. This formulation dominates the intravenous benzodiazepine segment, holding a 60% market share among sedation agents, due to its cost-effectiveness and widespread availability.

Key players include generic manufacturers like Fresenius Kabi and Baxter International, which control 70% of the supply chain. Fresenius Kabi's version, launched in 2019, benefits from economies of scale, pricing at $15-20 per vial, making it accessible for hospital use [7]. In contrast, branded alternatives from companies like Roche (the original midazolam patent holder) face erosion as patents expire, with generics capturing 85% of prescriptions in mature markets.

Regulatory factors play a significant role. The FDA's approval of the 0.8% sodium chloride formulation in 2018 under the Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) pathway facilitated rapid market entry [8]. In Europe, the EMA's centralized procedures have streamlined approvals, boosting exports from EU-based producers. However, supply chain disruptions, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, led to a 10% shortage in 2022, prompting stockpiling strategies among hospitals [9].

Market segmentation reveals strong demand in hospitals (60% of volume) and ambulatory surgical centers (25%), where procedural sedation is routine. Geographically, North America leads with $180 million in annual sales, followed by Europe at $120 million [6]. Emerging markets in Asia-Pacific, particularly China and India, are growing at 8% annually, fueled by rising healthcare infrastructure and generic adoption. Competitive pressures from alternatives like propofol and dexmedetomidine have intensified, but midazolam's shorter half-life maintains its edge for short-term use.

Pricing dynamics remain stable, with average wholesale prices holding at $18 per unit in 2023, per SSR Health reports [10]. Reimbursement policies, such as those from CMS in the U.S., favor generics, further entrenching midazolam in 0.8% sodium chloride as a preferred option.

Market Projections and Future Outlook

Looking ahead, the market for midazolam in 0.8% sodium chloride is poised for moderate growth, projected to reach $600 million by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5% [11]. This expansion will be driven by increasing surgical procedures, an aging population, and expanded indications in neurology and emergency medicine.

In the U.S., demand will likely rise with the growing prevalence of chronic conditions requiring sedation, such as epilepsy and cancer-related procedures. Grand View Research forecasts a 6% CAGR in North America, supported by ongoing trials and potential label expansions [12]. For instance, if the pediatric trial [3] succeeds, it could add $50 million in annual revenue by unlocking new patient segments.

Globally, Asia-Pacific is expected to outpace other regions, with a 7% CAGR, as countries like India invest in healthcare modernization [11]. Manufacturers are capitalizing on this through partnerships, such as Baxter's 2024 agreement with Asian distributors to localize production and reduce costs.

Challenges include regulatory hurdles and competition from novel agents. The FDA's potential updates to sedation guidelines, based on 2023 trial data, may impose stricter monitoring requirements, impacting adoption [5]. Additionally, biosimilar threats from emerging players could compress margins by 15% over the next five years [13]. Supply chain resilience will be critical, with experts predicting a 20% increase in raw material costs due to global shortages [14].

Opportunities lie in combination therapies and digital health integration. Projections indicate that pairing midazolam with AI-driven dosing systems could enhance safety, potentially adding 10% to market growth by 2028 [15]. Overall, while generic saturation poses risks, strategic innovations will sustain midazolam's market position.
