Finding the right sedation dose for endoscopy in patients with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a specific combination of two medicines (oliceridine and propofol) used to keep you comfortable and asleep during a painless digestive endoscopy. It aims to find the best dose for people with higher body weight to ensure safe and effective sedation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 28 or higher, meaning you are considered obese.

This trial tests two medicines, remimazolam (a sedative) and oliceridine (a pain reliever), to see if they work well together for sedation during a painless gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy in people aged 65 to 80. It aims to find a safe and effective option for older adults.
This trial compares two different sedative drugs to see which one works better for patients having an upper GI endoscopy, a procedure that looks at the esophagus and stomach. The goal is to find a drug that keeps patients comfortable and safe during the procedure.
This study compares two types of sedation for endoscopic procedures like ERCP, gastroscopy, or colonoscopy. One uses opioids, the other does not, to see which is safer and more comfortable.
This study tests a new way to monitor how deeply sedated you are during a colonoscopy or similar procedure. It uses a special consciousness index to help the doctor give you just the right amount of sedation.
