Comparing two sedatives for heart ablation procedures
This trial compares two sedative medicines (remimazolam and propofol) given during heart ablation procedures. The study uses brain-wave monitoring to see which medicine provides better sedation and recovery. It's for people who are already scheduled for this procedure with a specific doctor.
TaipeiAges 20–80 - NCT06980688Recruiting
Propofol dosing for safer blood pressure during surgery
This trial tests a new way of giving the anesthetic propofol to keep your blood pressure more stable during surgery. It may help reduce side effects like dizziness or fainting after the procedure.
BadenAges 55 years+ - NCT05305313RecruitingPhase 4
Testing a new propofol dosing method for higher BMI surgeries
This trial studies whether adjusting how propofol (an anesthesia medicine) is dosed based on total body weight improves anesthesia delivery during longer surgeries. It mainly targets people with a higher body mass index having surgery that lasts over an hour.

Sedation Medications for Older ICU Patients on Breathing Machines
This study compares two sedation medications—propofol alone versus propofol combined with ketamine—in older patients in the ICU who are on breathing machines due to infection or lung problems. The goal is to find which combination is safer and works better for keeping patients calm and comfortable.
CairoAges 65 years+ - NCT07556133Recruiting
Comparing two sedation medicines during cataract surgery
This study tests two sedation medicines (dexmedetomidine and propofol) used to keep patients calm and comfortable during cataract surgery. Researchers want to see which combination works best and is safest for this common procedure.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Propofol?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 122 recruiting studies that include Propofol, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Propofol trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is Propofol an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Propofol or a specific trial is right for you.
