About this trial
This single-group, open-label, biased-coin up-and-down sequential dose-finding trial aims to determine the 90% effective dose (ED90) of intravenous tegileridine combined with fixed-dose propofol to eliminate body movement, cough and excessive hemodynamic fluctuations during gastroscopy insertion in adult patients stratified into young (18-65 years) and elderly (≥65 years) subgroups. All subjects receive intravenous tegileridine followed by 2 mg/kg propofol for sedation induction. The initial tegileridine dose is 5 μg/kg with a 1 μg/kg dose step. Dose adjustment follows biased-coin algorithm: dose increases by 1 μg/kg if positive response occurs; if negative response, there is an 11% probability to decrease dose by 1 μg/kg. The trial will be terminated when 45 successful cases are accrued in each age subgroup. Primary outcome is ED90 of tegileridine calculated via central ordinal regression. Secondary outcomes include total propofol consumption, MOAA/S sedation score, intraoperative blood pressure and heart rate changes, and incidence of perioperative adverse events within 24 hours post-procedure.

Treatments tested in this trial
Tegileridine combined with Propofol for gastroscopy
DrugAll participants receive intravenous tegileridine with dose adjusted by biased-coin up-and-down sequential design, combined with fixed-dose propofol 2 mg/kg for anesthesia induction before painless gastroscopy. The initial dose of tegileridine is 5 μg/kg, with a 1 μg/kg step for dose increment or decrement according to gastroscopy insertion response. Subjects are stratified into young (18-65 years) and elderly (≥65 years) subgroups for separate ED90 calculation.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
90% Effective Dose (ED90) of Tegileridine combined with propofol for gastroscopy
The 90% effective dose (ED90) of intravenous tegileridine combined with fixed-dose propofol 2 mg/kg to fully suppress positive responses during gastroscopy insertion, calculated via central ordinal regression with 95% confidence interval. Positive response is defined as body movement, cough, or blood pressure/heart rate elevation exceeding 20% compared with baseline within 3 minutes after gastroscopy placement. Subjects are divided into young (18-65 years) and elderly (≥65 years) subgroups for separate ED90 estimation.
Secondary outcomes
Changes in blood pressure at predefined time points
Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) are recorded at: Baseline (prior to tegileridine administration) ,2 minutes after tegileridine bolus, Immediately before gastroscopy insertion, The highest values within 3 minutes following insertion
Heart rate at predefined time points
Heart rate (HR) are recorded at: Baseline (before tegileridine injection), 2 minutes after tegileridine bolus, immediately before gastroscopy insertion, and the peak value within 3 minutes after insertion.
Other outcomes
Success rate of sedation
The modified observer's assessment of alert/sedation scale (MOAA/S) is a commonly - used sedation evaluation tool in clinical practice. It classifies reactivity under different stimuli: Grade 5 means a sensitive response to calling the name in a normal tone of voice; Grade 4 indicates a sluggish response to calling the name in a normal tone of voice; Grade 3 requires a loud or repeated call of the name to elicit a response; Grade 2 shows a response to slight pushing and vibration; Grade 1 has a response to a painful stimulus (by squeezing the trapezius muscle area); Grade 0 means no response to a painful stimulus. Moreover, MOAA/S ≤ 2 indicates loss of consciousness, which can assist medical staff in judging the sedation level and consciousness state of patients.
Incidence of perioperative adverse events
Proportion of participants experiencing adverse events including hypotension, bradycardia, arrhythmia, palpitations, dizziness, hypersensitivity, nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression during sedation and within 24 hours after gastroscopy
