ED90 of Tegileridine Combined With Propofol For Painless Gastroscopy

August 1, 2026 updated by: Shiyou Wei

Determination of The 90% Effective Dose of Tegileridine Combined With Propofol for Gastroscopy in Patients of Different Ages: A Biased-Coin Up-and-down Design Study

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 (18-64 years) and elderly (≥65 years) subgroups. All subjects receive intravenous tegileridine followed by 1-2 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 centered isotonic regression. Secondary outcomes include total propofol consumption, MOAA/S sedation score, blood pressure and heart rate changes, and incidence of perioperative adverse events within 24 hours post-procedure.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Single Group (All Adult Patients Aged ≥18 Years)
All enrolled adult patients receive variable-dose intravenous tegileridine adjusted by biased-coin up-and-down sequential design plus fixed-dose propofol 1-2 mg/kg for sedation during painless gastroscopy. Patients are stratified into young (18-64 years) and elderly (≥65 years) subgroups for separate ED90 analysis.
Drug: Tegileridine combined with Propofol for gastroscopy
All participants receive intravenous tegileridine with dose adjusted by biased-coin up-and-down sequential design, combined with fixed-dose propofol 1-2 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 (18-64 years) and elderly (≥65 years) subgroups for separate ED90 calculation.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
90% Effective Dose (ED90) of Tegileridine combined with propofol for gastroscopy
Time Frame: Within 3 minutes after gastroscopy insertion
The 90% effective dose (ED90) of intravenous tegileridine combined with fixed-dose propofol 1-2 mg/kg to fully suppress positive responses during gastroscopy insertion, calculated via centered isotonic 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 (18-64 years) and elderly (≥65 years) subgroups for separate ED90 estimation.
Within 3 minutes after gastroscopy insertion

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in blood pressure at predefined time points
Time Frame: From baseline through 3 minutes after gastroscopy insertion.
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
From baseline through 3 minutes after gastroscopy insertion.
Heart rate at predefined time points
Time Frame: From baseline through 3 minutes after gastroscopy insertion.
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.
From baseline through 3 minutes after gastroscopy insertion.

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Success rate of sedation
Time Frame: 2 minutes after intravenous anesthetic injection
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.
2 minutes after intravenous anesthetic injection
Incidence of perioperative adverse events
Time Frame: From anesthesia induction to 24 hours after gastroscopy
Proportion of participants experiencing adverse events including hypotension, bradycardia, hypersensitivity, nausea and vomiting, pruritus, hypoxaemia during sedation and within 24 hours after gastroscopy
From anesthesia induction to 24 hours after gastroscopy
