Clinical trials

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.

This is a prospective two-group dose-finding trial using biased-coin sequential up-and-down design. We plan to enroll 108 patients who need general anesthesia with laryngeal mask airway placement, divided into young group (18-65 years old) and elderly group (65 years old and older). All patients will receive tegileridine combined with fixed-dose propofol for anesthesia induction. The main goal is to find the 90% effective dose (ED90) of tegileridine that can fully block body movement, cough, tearing and unstable blood pressure/heart rate during laryngeal mask insertion. We will also record cough rate, hemodynamic changes, sedation depth and all perioperative adverse reactions to provide safe dosing reference for different age patients in clinical anesthesia.

This single-center single-blind randomized trial compares fospropofol disodium and propofol for anesthesia in elective ureteroscopy patients. A total of 190 eligible adults will be randomly divided into two groups at 1:1 ratio with identical intraoperative maintenance protocols. The primary outcome is 24-hour postoperative anesthesia satisfaction assessed by ISAS scale; secondary and safety endpoints include injection pain, intraoperative hemodynamic events and various perioperative adverse reactions. This study explores the clinical efficacy and safety of the two sedatives to guide rational clinical medication.

Sufentanil is the most widely used opioid analgesic for general anaesthesia induction; however, rapid intravenous bolus injection frequently triggers sufentanil-induced cough (SIC). In high-risk patients, SIC can cause abrupt elevation of intracranial and intraocular pressure and severe haemodynamic instability, posing a meaningful safety risk during the induction period. Oliceridine, the first G protein-biased μ-opioid receptor agonist approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2020, provides analgesia through μ-receptor activation while substantially reducing β-arrestin-2 recruitment. This biased signalling profile is hypothesised to raise the excitation threshold of airway C-fibres and thereby reduce the incidence of cough. This prospective, single-centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group controlled trial directly compares oliceridine with sufentanil for general anaesthesia induction with respect to cough incidence, cough severity, haemodynamic responses, and perioperative safety, with the aim of providing evidence-based guidance for opioid selection during induction.

This prospective, randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded trial will evaluate whether bilateral ultrasound-guided external oblique intercostal block (EOIB) reduces postoperative opioid consumption and improves pain control after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, compared with no block.
