About this study

Official title: Comparison of Rocuronium and Org25969 With Cisatracurium and Neostigmine When Neuromuscular Block is Reversed at Reappearance of T2

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate in adult patients a faster recovery from a neuromuscular block with 2.0 mg/kg Org 25969 (sugammadex) after rocuronium as compared to 50 ug/kg neostigmine after cisatracurium when administered at reappearance of T2

Being tested
Sugammadex, neostigmine

What participants receive

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

  • SugammadexDrug

    Also called Org 25969

    Subjects received a bolus dose of 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium. After the last dose of rocuronium, at reappearance of T2, a dose of 2.0 mg/kg Org 25969 was to be administered

  • neostigmineDrug

    Also called premix neostigmine/glycopyrrolate

    Subjects received a bolus dose of 0.15 mg/kg cisatracurium. After the last dose of cisatracurium, at reappearance of T2, a dose of 50 ug/kg neostigmine was to be administered. In accordance to the labeling of neostigmine, a maximum of 5 mg neostigmine was to be administered

What is being measured

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

  1. Time from start administration of Org 25969/neostigmine to recovery T4/T1 ratio to 0.9

    Measured: After surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time from start administration of Org 25969/neostigmine to recovery T4/T1 ratio to 0.7 and 0.8

    Measured: After surgery

  2. Assessment of clinical signs of recovery (level of consciousness, 5 sec head lift, and general muscle weakness)

    Measured: after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Sugammadex and neostigmine in people with Anesthesia, General, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Time from start administration of Org 25969/neostigmine to recovery T4/T1 ratio to 0.9 (time frame: After surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00451100, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Nov 2019.
