NCT ID NCT06479655
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares fentanyl and morphine, two painkillers used to sedate adults on breathing machines in the ICU. Researchers want to see which drug helps patients reach the right sedation level faster and with fewer extra doses. The trial will enroll 116 patients and also look at how long they need the breathing machine and their ICU stay.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
fentanyl and morphine
What this could lead to
If this trial shows one drug works better, it could help ICU patients get the right sedation faster, possibly reducing time on a ventilator.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study (116 people) comparing two well-known drugs, so it won't lead to a new treatment. Results may not apply to all ICU patients.
