Using Oliceridine to Reduce Nausea After Colorectal Surgery

Effect of Oliceridine Analgesia on Postoperative Nause and Vomiting in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery: A Randomized Trial

Phase 4 Interventional Peking University First Hospital · NCT06411665

This study is testing if a new pain medication called oliceridine can help reduce nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic colorectal surgery compared to traditional morphine.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of oliceridine, a novel selective μ-opioid agonist, in reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery. The study compares oliceridine with traditional morphine for patient-controlled analgesia, aiming to determine if oliceridine can provide effective pain relief with fewer side effects related to nausea. By focusing on the mechanisms of opioid action, particularly the G protein-biased signaling, the trial seeks to improve recovery outcomes for patients. The randomized design ensures a robust evaluation of the intervention's impact on PONV incidence.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 80 scheduled for elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery who require patient-controlled intravenous analgesia.

Not a fit: Patients with severe heart dysfunction, hepatic or renal insufficiency, or those unable to complete preoperative assessments may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, leading to faster recovery and improved patient satisfaction.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that oliceridine is effective in managing pain with fewer adverse effects in other surgical contexts, suggesting potential success in this novel application.
