First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at fospropofol disodium, a sedative, to find the best dose for elderly patients (65 and older) having leg surgery with spinal anesthesia. The goal is to keep patients comfortably asleep without over-sedating them. Sixty participants will receive different doses to determine the amount that works for 95% of people.
What this could mean

Active substance
fospropofol disodium
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors use a safer, more precise dose of fospropofol for sedation in elderly patients during surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 60 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may cause side effects like low blood pressure or breathing problems.
