Intravenous Oliceridine and Opioid-related Complications

Registration Number
NCT04979247
Lead Sponsor
The Cleveland Clinic
Brief Summary

The investigator will evaluate the side effects of oliceridine.

Detailed Description

The investigator will evaluate the side effects of oliceridine. Limited information suggests that oliceridine may cause fewer side effects than the standard opioids given post surgery. Oliceridine is effective for treating acute pain, and is approved by the FDA. Patients will wear a device that continuously monitors breathing. Data from this monitor will be blinded to the clinical staff. Primary Aims include: The investigators will evaluate the proportion of patients having an adjudicated meaningful respiratory compromise with a specified precision of 0.15 using a 95% confidence interval at 24 hours post first study dose.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of patients who have respiratory compromise.24 hours post first study dose.

Respiratory compromise will be defined by a collapsed (one or more) composite of 1) end-tidal carbon dioxide \<15mmHg for ≥3 minutes; 2) respiratory rate ≤5 breaths/minute for ≥3 minutes; 3) SpO2 ≤ 85% for ≥3 minutes; 4) Apnea episode lasting \>30 seconds; 5)any serious respiratory event.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cumulative duration of oxygen saturation < 90%48 hours post first study dose.

The sum of minutes with SpO2\<90% from monitoring data

Cumulative duration of respiratory rate < 8 breaths/ minute48 hours post first study dose.

The sum of minutes with respiratory rate \< 8 from monitoring data
