Tegileridine for pain after bariatric surgery
Official title: Safety and Analgesic Efficacy of the Biased μ-Opioid Receptor Agonist Tapentadol in Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery
Run by The First Hospital of Jilin University · NCT07844512 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This phase 3 trial tests tegileridine vs standard opioid medicine to see if it provides good pain relief after bariatric surgery while considering sleep apnea status.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18–65 years old scheduled for elective bariatric surgery, ASA I–III, able to complete QoR-15, and able to consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with known opioid allergies, significant hepatic/renal dysfunction, chronic preoperative opioid use, severe respiratory disease (other than OSA), pregnancy, or inability to complete follow-up may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This randomized, double-blind study will assign adults undergoing elective bariatric surgery to receive tegileridine or sufentanil for postoperative pain management. Participants are stratified by obstructive sleep apnea status and unaware of which treatment they receive. The primary outcome is recovery quality in the first 24 hours after surgery, measured by QoR-15, with secondary data on pain scores, rescue analgesia use, and adverse effects over seven days. The trial is single-center and aims to determine the safety and analgesic efficacy of the new biased μ-opioid receptor agonist in this population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, tegileridine could improve postoperative comfort and recovery after bariatric surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies of biased μ-opioid receptor agonists have shown potential for analgesia with favorable safety profiles; this study extends those findings to bariatric patients.
