Why
  1. The study's listed conditions name Obesity, a narrower term within Overweight.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

This single-center, stratified randomized double-blind trial tests tegileridine, a new pain drug, for pain relief after weight-loss surgery. Researchers will compare tegileridine with standard opioid pain medicine.

Eligible patients having bariatric surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. Patients and study teams will not know which treatment each participant receives. Participants will be grouped based on whether they have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

The primary measurement is postoperative recovery quality in the first 24 hours after surgery using the QoR-15 survey. The study will also track pain scores, rescue pain medication use, and drug side effects for 7 days after surgery.

There is no guaranteed benefit for participants. Study pain medicines may cause side effects. Doctors will provide rescue treatment for uncontrolled pain.

No

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 18 to 65 years old
  • Scheduled for elective bariatric surgery
  • (ASA) physical status I, II or III
  • Able to understand and complete the QoR-15 questionnaire
  • Provide written to participate in the study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known allergy or to opioids, tegileridine or sufentanil
  • Severe hepatic or renal dysfunction
  • Preoperative chronic opioid use
  • History of severe respiratory disease except obstructive sleep apnea
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women
  • Participants who cannot complete postoperative follow-up
  • Participation in another interventional clinical trial within 30 days before surgery
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ASA physical status

The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) Score at 24 Hours After Surgery

    The Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) is a validated questionnaire used to assess the quality of postoperative recovery. The total score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 150. A higher score indicates a better quality of recovery.

    Time frame: 24 hours after bariatric surgery

Timeline

3 registry updates since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Oct 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2027, 11 months after the start.

Of 63 non-industry phase 3 interventional studies under Obesity, half reached primary completion within 36 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 56. This study's planned 11 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 262 studies reached it within 24 months; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 34.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
