NCT ID NCT06969287
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether fluvoxamine, a drug used for depression, can help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in older adults after non-cardiac surgery. About 46 people having elective surgery that requires at least a 2-day hospital stay will take part. The main goal is to see if the study is feasible, not yet to prove the drug works.
