New pain drug may reduce breathing risks during routine scopes
NCT ID NCT07187765
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female patients aged ≥ 18 years. * Scheduled to undergo elective gastrointestinal endoscopy (gastroscopy or colonoscopy). * American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III. * No history of severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction or other major systemic disease.
