Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of exercise prehabilitation on quality of recovery after cardiac surgery: a single-centre randomised controlled trial.
Physical prehabilitation can enhance patient resilience to surgical stress, but its effects are unclear in vulnerable and frail patients. We aimed to determine the effect of a structured exercise prehabilitation programme on the quality of recovery after cardiac surgery in vulnerable and frail participants. ⋯ ChiCTR1800016098.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Phase 1 single-centre placebo- and etomidate-controlled study in healthy volunteers to assess safety, tolerability, clinical effects, and pharmacokinetics of intravenous methoxyethyl etomidate hydrochloride (ET-26).
Methoxyethyl etomidate hydrochloride (ET-26) is a novel etomidate analogue. This is the first-in-human study of a bolus i.v. formulation of ET-26 to assess its safety, tolerability, hypnotic effects, and pharmacokinetics. ⋯ ChiCTR2100047525 (https://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx, ChiCTR2100047525).
