Can a new opioid combo make gastroscopy safer for obese patients?
NCT ID NCT07759778
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether combining oliceridine, a newer opioid, with propofol can provide safe and effective sedation for obese patients undergoing a painless gastroscopy. The study aims to determine the optimal dose of propofol when used with oliceridine, potentially reducing breathing problems that standard sedatives can cause. Obese adults (BMI 28 or higher) scheduled for routine gastroscopy will receive the medication combo, with careful monitoring of vital signs and sedation depth.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Oliceridine combined with propofol
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish a safer sedation approach for obese patients undergoing gastroscopy, reducing breathing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase dose-finding study, so results may not apply broadly. There is still a risk of respiratory depression or other side effects.
