Let \(\mathcal {L}(H)\) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a separable infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space H. In this paper, we introduce \(\widehat{P}\) -symmetric operators \(A=U|A| \in \mathcal {L}(H)\) via the Duggal transform \(\widehat{A}=|A|U\) , as those satisfying \(AT = TA\) implies \(\widehat{A}T = T\widehat{A}\) for every trace-class operator \(T \in \mathcal {C}_1(H)\) . We characterize this class and establish its fundamental properties. It includes quasinormal operators, isometries, co-isometries, partial isometries whose squares are normal, cyclic subnormal operators, and all P-symmetric operators, i.e., operators \(A \in \mathcal {L}(H)\) satisfying \(AT = TA\) implies \(A^*T = TA^*\) for every \(T \in \mathcal {C}_1(H)\) . For injective hyponormal operators, P-symmetry is equivalent to that of the Duggal transform. We also provide sufficient conditions for a \(\widehat{P}\) -symmetric operator to be normal. The study concludes by presenting results concerning the ultraweak closures of the ranges of inner derivations related to this operator class.
