About this study

This study recruits healthy volunteers and randomly assigns them in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to the following groups: Propofol group, Sevoflurane group, Ciprofol group, and Control group. Subjects in the different groups will undergo anesthesia with the corresponding general anesthetic drug, while subjects in the Control group will receive no anesthesia. Peripheral blood samples will be collected at specified time points: before anesthesia induction, upon emergence from anesthesia, 24 hours after anesthesia, and 48 hours after anesthesia. Single-cell multi-omics analysis will be performed on these samples using single-cell sequencing technology. The aim is to investigate the independent effects of different general anesthetic drugs on human immune function in the absence of surgical trauma, and to further explore the potential immunomodulatory effects of commonly used clinical anesthetics.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Propofol groupDrug

    Induction with 1.5-2.5 mg/kg IV bolus until loss of consciousness (loss of eyelash reflex), maintenance with 4-12 mg/kg/h target-controlled infusion.

  • Sevoflurane groupDrug

    Induction with 8% concentration inhaled for approximately 2 minutes, maintenance concentration 0.5-3%.

  • Ciprofol groupDrug

    Induction with 0.4 mg/kg IV bolus over 10-30s; if anesthesia depth is insufficient, additional doses not exceeding 0.2 mg/kg may be given; maintenance with 0.4-2.4 mg/kg/h target-controlled infusion.

  • Control groupOther

    subjects will not receive anesthesia but will remain in a supine position on a hospital trolley for 3 hours, after which they will be sent to the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Single-cell multi-omics data obtained from peripheral blood mononuclear cells; metabolome, lipidome, and proteome data obtained from plasma through detection; whole genome sequencing data.

    Measured: Peripheral blood samples will be collected at specified time points: before anesthesia induction, upon emergence from anesthesia, 24 hours after anesthesia, and 48 hours after anesthesia. Single-cell multi-omics analysis will be performed on these sample

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Propofol group, Sevoflurane group and Ciprofol group in people with Immune System, run by Henan Provincial People's Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Single-cell multi-omics data obtained from peripheral blood mononuclear cells; metabolome, lipidome, and proteome data obtained from plasma through detection; whole genome sequencing data. (time frame: Peripheral blood samples will be collected at specified time points: before anesthesia induction, upon emergence from anesthesia, 24 hours after anesthesia, and 48 hours after anesthesia. Single-cell multi-omics analysis will be performed on these sample). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Feb 2026.
