About this study

Official title: Clinical Study on the Effect of Tegileridine on Postoperative Pain in PatientsUndergoing Abdominal Surgery:A Randomized Controlled Double-blind Trial.

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of tegileridine fumarate injection for postoperative analgesia in adults experiencing moderate-to-severe pain after abdominal surgery. Participants will be randomized to receive intravenous tegileridine or matching placebo as part of a standardized multimodal analgesia protocol; all patients will have access to rescue opioid analgesia per institutional practice. The primary objective is to determine whether tegileridine improves postoperative pain control during the first 24-48 hours after surgery. Secondary objectives include comparing cumulative opioid consumption, time to first rescue analgesia, patient-reported satisfaction with pain control, recovery milestones (e.g., time to ambulation), and the incidence of adverse events such as nausea, vomiting, sedation, respiratory depression, pruritus, and constipation. Safety will be monitored throughout the study with predefined stopping and reporting procedures. The results aim to inform whether tegileridine can provide effective and well-tolerated analgesia for patients with moderate-to-severe postoperative pain following abdominal procedures.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Tegileridine (tegileridine fumarate injection, IV)Drug

    Tegileridine (tegileridine fumarate injection, IV) is a small-molecule μ-opioid receptor agonist with G-protein-biased signaling (relative to β-arrestin-2 recruitment), developed by Jiangsu Hengrui for postoperative analgesia. It is administered intravenously and was first approved in China in January 2024 for the treatment of moderate-to-severe pain after abdominal surgery; in this study, tegileridine is used as part of standardized multimodal analgesia according to protocol. In China it is regulated as a narcotic drug.

  • 0.9% Normal Saline (0.9% Sodium Chloride) injectionOther

    0.9% sodium chloride (normal saline, IV) - matched 10 mL infusion over 10 minutes administered at the alternate timepoint to maintain blinding.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Postoperative Visual Analog Scale(VAS)Pain Scores at Multiple Time Points

    Pain intensity is assessed with the 10-cm Visual Analog Scale (minimum 0 = no pain, maximum 10 = worst imaginable pain) at rest by blinded assessors at 2 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h and 48 h after surgery; lower scores indicate less pain. When rescue analgesia is required, VAS is recorded immediately before rescue dosing.

    Measured: 2 hours ( h), 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h and 48 h after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Intraoperative opioid consumption

    Total intraoperative opioid use, expressed in intravenous morphine milligram equivalents.

    Measured: Perioperative (induction of anesthesia to end of surgery).

  2. Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) Score

    Researchers assist patients in completing the QoR-15 questionnaire (minimum 0 = very poor quality of recovery, maximum 150 = excellent quality of recovery); higher scores indicate better quality of recovery.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 2 postoperatively.

  3. Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale(RASS)

    The research team assigns a RASS score (minimum -5 = unarousable, maximum +4 = combative; scores closer to 0 indicate an alert and calm state) by observing the patient immediately before tracheal extubation.

    Measured: Immediately before removal of the endotracheal tube (Postoperative Day 0).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative Visual Analog Scale(VAS)Pain Scores at Multiple Time Points (time frame: 2 hours ( h), 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h and 48 h after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07277153, which also lists 6 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Apr 2026.
