About this trial

Anruikefen is a peripherally highly selective kappa receptor agonist that does not easily cross the blood-brain barrier, resulting in a low incidence of central adverse reactions such as respiratory depression, sedation, and addiction. As a Class 1 new drug, it was approved for marketing in China on May 13, 2025, and is indicated for the treatment of postoperative pain following abdominal surgery. Results from two Phase Ⅲ randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of Anruikefen have demonstrated its significant analgesic efficacy, with the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) being 50% significantly lower than that in the placebo group, which confirms the favorable safety profile of Anruikefen Injection.

Therefore, this investigator-initiated trial (IIT) is designed to further verify the efficacy and safety of Anruikefen in patients undergoing total laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
