About this study

Hypoxia is the most common adverse event during propofol sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy, particularly in obese patients.

A recent innovation in this domain is the COMBO Endoscopy Oropharyngeal Airway-a multifaceted device that encompasses capnography monitoring, bite block , oxygenation support, and oropharyngeal airway management.

This device has been purposefully designed to cater to the unique requirements of endoscopic procedures. The principal objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the COMBO Endoscopy Oropharyngeal Airway in combination with High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygenation for reducing the incidence of hypoxia in obese patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy under sedation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The incidence of hypoxia

    75% ≤ SpO2 < 90% for <60 s

    Measured: Patients will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average about 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The incidence of subclinical respiratory depression

    90% ≤ SpO2 < 95%

    Measured: Patients will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average about 2 hours

  2. The incidence of severe hypoxia

    SpO2 < 75% or 75% ≤ SpO2 < 90% for ≥60 s

    Measured: Patients will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average about 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing the COMBO Endoscopy Oropharyngeal Airway with High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygenation in people with Hypoxia and Esophageal Cancer, run by Zhejiang University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The incidence of hypoxia (time frame: Patients will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average about 2 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06812403, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jun 2025.
