Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Description:

This is a 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 preinduction and induction periods, a timing device must be used to allow accuracy and sequencing of necessary assessments.

• 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.
