Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Ciprofol is a Class 1 innovative drug independently developed in China with global intellectual property rights. Currently, Ciprofol has completed Phase III clinical trials in China and the United States; its approved indications in China include sedation or anesthesia for various diagnostic procedures, general anesthesia for surgical operations, and sedation during intensive care unit (ICU) stays. Completed drug clinical trials and published clinical trial data of Ciprofol indicate that it can better maintain circulatory stability and ideal anesthetic depth during anesthesia induction and maintenance, making it a promising intravenous general anesthetic alternative to propofol.
Maintaining hemodynamic stability is an important measure to reduce cardiovascular complications during the perioperative period. Given the good circulatory stability and sedative efficacy of Ciprofol, this study aims to investigate the impact of Ciprofol on MINS in non-cardiac thoracic surgery.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) refers to postoperative elevation of cardiac troponin (cTn) levels caused by underlying ischemic mechanisms (i.e., coronary artery supply-demand imbalance or atherosclerotic thrombosis) without obvious non-ischemic causes (such as pulmonary embolism), with at least one cTn concentration exceeding the 99th percentile of the test reference upper limit, regardless of whether clinical symptoms and ECG changes are present. MINS, including myocardial infarction and ischemic myocardial injury, typically occurs within 30 days after surgery, most commonly within the first 2 postoperative days. It is an independent risk factor for 30-day postoperative mortality and is also closely associated with increased risk of mortality and vascular complications within 2 years. MINS is a common cardiovascular complication after thoracic surgery; the COP-AF study found that the incidence of MINS in non-cardiac thoracic surgery is 20.3% . Therefore, reducing the incidence of MINS in non-cardiac thoracic surgery to improve patient outcomes is a critical issue in anesthetic management for thoracic surgery.
Severe hemodynamic fluctuations are one of the important causes of perioperative induction of MINS, thus maintaining hemodynamic stability is a critical step to reduce MINS. Propofol is the most commonly used drug for anesthesia induction and maintenance in clinical practice, with advantages such as rapid onset, strong sedative efficacy, and quick recovery. However, due to its significant circulatory inhibitory effects, the incidence of intraoperative hypotension induced and maintained by propofol in patients without cardiovascular diseases is 25%-40%, increasing the risk of perioperative hypotension and adverse cardiovascular events, which poses great challenges to anesthetic management. Additionally, 80% of patients receiving propofol experience injection pain of varying degrees, which also reduces patient comfort during treatment. Therefore, developing a sedative with both good sedative efficacy and no or low circulatory inhibition has long been a desirable goal for anesthesiologists.
Ciprofol is a Class 1 innovative drug independently developed in China with global intellectual property rights. Its molecular structure is an analog of propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol). Both Ciprofol and propofol act on γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA-A) receptors, causing hyperpolarization of GABAergic neurons, reducing the success rate of action potential generation, and achieving inhibition of the central nervous system to produce short and rapid sedative or anesthetic effects. Pharmacologically, Ciprofol not only retains the characteristics of propofol such as rapid onset, rapid elimination, and high sedative efficacy but also has a higher drug cost-effectiveness ratio and therapeutic index (in mouse experiments, the median effective dose for sedation of Ciprofol is 1.5 mg/kg, the median lethal dose is 9.9 mg/kg, and the therapeutic index is 6.6, while that of propofol is only 2.8). Furthermore, due to the lower drug concentration in the aqueous phase of the Ciprofol emulsion, the risk of injection pain is much lower than that of propofol, improving treatment comfort. Currently, Ciprofol has completed Phase III clinical trials in China and the United States; its approved indications in China include sedation or anesthesia for various diagnostic procedures, general anesthesia for surgical operations, and sedation during intensive care unit (ICU) stays. Completed drug clinical trials and published post-marketing clinical trial data of Ciprofol indicate that it can better maintain circulatory stability and ideal anesthetic depth during anesthesia induction and maintenance, making it a promising intravenous general anesthetic alternative to propofol.
Maintaining hemodynamic stability is an important measure to reduce cardiovascular complications during the perioperative period. Given the good circulatory stability and sedative efficacy of Ciprofol, this study aims to investigate the impact of Ciprofol on MINS in non-cardiac thoracic surgery.
After data collection, full Analysis Set (FAS): A population derived by minimally and reasonably excluding certain cases under the principle of Intention-to-Treat (ITT), where cases included in the FAS should not seriously violate the inclusion criteria. FAS will be used for the analysis of baseline data and primary efficacy endpoints.
Per-Protocol Set (PPS): All cases that comply with the trial protocol, are well-tolerated (patients who completed PED procedures), and have completed the content specified in the case report form. PPS is used for the analysis of primary efficacy endpoints.
Safety Set (SS): Refers to the actual data of subjects who received at least one dose of treatment after randomization and have recorded safety indicators.

PREVENTION
DOUBLE
1. Blinding of efficacy assessors: In this study, a designated study coordinator was responsible for maintaining and distributing randomization numbers, preparing study drugs, and coordinating information among anesthesiologists. Anesthesiologists completed preoperative visits and collected preoperative patient data; efficacy evaluators were only responsible for patient follow-up and data entry of postoperative test results, without participating in the process of anesthesia administration or management. Anesthesiologists administered drugs based on patients' body weights.
2. Blinding of participants: participants were unaware of their group assignments and medication administration during the study period.
