Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To demonstrate HSK3486 0.4/0.2 mg/kg (0.4 mg/kg intravenous \[IV\] slow injection over 30 \[±5\] seconds for the first dose, an additional 0.2 mg/kg if needed) is non-inferior to Propofol 2.0/1.0 mg/kg (2.0 mg/kg IV slow injection over 30 \[±5\] seconds for first dose, an additional 1.0 mg/kg if needed) in success of induction of general anesthesia in adults undergoing elective surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a global multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, propofol-controlled, phase 3 clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HSK3486 for induction of general anesthesia in adults undergoing elective surgery with endotracheal intubation.

After screening, eligible subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either HSK3486 0.4/0.2 mg/kg (i.e., 0.4 mg/kg IV slow injection over 30 \[±5\] seconds followed by an additional 0.2 mg/kg dose over 10 \[±2\] seconds if needed) or propofol 2.0/1.0 mg/kg (i.e., 2.0 mg/kg IV slow injection over 30 \[±5\] seconds followed by an additional 1.0 mg/kg dose over 10 \[±2\]seconds if needed) in a blinded manner. Enrolled subjects will be stratified by American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA-PS; I-II and III-IV), age (\<65 and ≥65 years), and Body Mass Index (BMI \<35 and ≥35 kg/m2). Endotracheal intubation will be performed after adequate anesthetic induction (Modified Observer's Assessment of Awareness/Sedation \[MOAA/S\] ≤1) (Appendix 1) has been achieved and administration of neuromuscular blocking agent.

Before surgery, premedication is allowed except for sedative-hypnotic or analgesic drugs. Premedication should be recorded if used.

Prior to administration of the study drug in the operating room, the preoperative readiness of each subject will be confirmed. Oxygen will be supplied through a facemask (oxygen flow rate: ≥4 L/min) at least 2 minutes before study drug administration. Subsequently, the investigator can adjust the oxygen flow according to the specific situation of the subject and maintenance IV solution (normal saline \[NS\], lactated ringer's \[LR\], or 5% dextrose) will be administrated through IV infusion. Throughout the pre-induction and induction periods, a timing device must be used to allow accuracy and sequencing of necessary assessments.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Subjects must satisfy all of the following criteria at the screening visit:

1. Subjects undergoing elective surgery (non-emergency, non-cardiothoracic, and non-intracranial surgery anticipated to last at least 1 hour) requiring endotracheal intubation and inhalation general anesthesia during the maintenance period. Duration of surgery is defined as time from study drug administration to time of transfer from operating room to recovery room or PACU.
2. Males or females, aged ≥18 years old, with ASA PS I to IV (Appendix 6). For ASA-PS IV subjects, clinical status must be optimized at time of preoperative anesthesia evaluation per judgement of the anesthesiologist.
3. BMI ≥18 kg/m2.
4. Vital signs at screening: RR ≥10 and ≤24 breaths/min; SpO2 ≥92% in ambient air; SBP ≥90 and ≤160 mmHg; DBP ≥55 and ≤ 100 mmHg; HR ≥55 (or ≥50 if subjects are on beta blockers) and ≤100 beats/min.
5. For all women of childbearing potential, negative serum pregnancy test within the screening period and negative urine pregnancy test at baseline (Day 1). Additionally, women of childbearing potential\* and male subjects with female partners of childbearing potential must agree to use contraception as defined in 7.3.4 from the time of consent until 30 days post study drug administration.
6. For subjects with known hypothyroidism and/or on thyroid-hormone replacement treatment (i.e., thyroxine), or subjects suspected to have thyroid dysfunction based on clinical laboratory and physical exam, a TSH must drawn and be within normal levels.
7. Capable of understanding the procedures and methods of this study, willing to sign an Informed Consent Form (ICF), and able to complete this study in strict compliance with the study protocol.
8. Willing to comply with the site's COVID guidelines and testing requirements as applicable.
9. Patients with psychiatric/mental disorders must be considered stable on treatment (e.g., SSRIs, SNRIs, TCAs, MAOIs, psychotherapy) per investigator judgement, and no hospitalizations and urgent care due to the underlying psychiatric pathology for at least 12 months.

* Women are considered of childbearing potential until becoming post-menopausal, unless she had a documented hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy / salpingo-oophorectomy. A woman is considered to be post-menopausal if she had no menses for at least 12 consecutive months (without an alternative medical cause).

Exclusion Criteria
