NCT ID NCT06732427

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares a new sedative, fospropofol disodium, to the standard drug propofol for people undergoing painless endoscopy. Researchers want to see if the new drug provides steady sedation with fewer side effects like low oxygen or heart problems. About 426 adults aged 50-65 will take part across multiple hospitals.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a safer sedation option for painless endoscopy with fewer breathing problems and faster recovery.
