New pain drug may reduce breathing risks during routine scopes

NCT ID NCT07187765

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compared two painkillers—oliceridine and sufentanil—given alongside propofol sedation during gastrointestinal endoscopy. The goal was to see if oliceridine causes fewer episodes of low blood oxygen (hypoxemia) than the standard drug. Over 500 adults participated, and researchers tracked oxygen levels throughout the procedure.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

oliceridine (TRV130)

What this could lead to

If it works, oliceridine could become a safer painkiller option for routine endoscopic procedures, reducing the risk of low oxygen levels during sedation.

What could go wrong

This is a single-center, completed trial with 508 participants. The results may not apply to all patients or settings, and oliceridine may not prove safer than the standard drug.
