About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, Parallel-group, Comparative Trial Evaluating the Efficacy, Pharmacokinetics and Safety of 4.0 mg/kg Sugammadex Administered at 1-2 PTC in Subjects With Normal or Severely Impaired Renal Function

The current trial was designed to investigate the effects of 4.0 mg.kg-1 of sugammadex on efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics in subjects with severe renal impairment in comparison to subjects with normal renal function.

Read the detailed description

The results of previous trials showed that the safety profile of sugammadex

observed in subjects with impaired renal function are not appreciably different from subjects with normal renal function. Reoccurrence of neuromuscular blockade was not observed, and sugammadex was safe and generally well tolerated in subjects with severe renal impairment. In a previous trial, subjects (n=15) with severe renal impairment received a dose of 2.0 mg.kg-1 of sugammadex. The effects of the other proposed recommended dose for routine reversal, 4.0 mg.kg-1, on efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics had not been studied thus far in subjects with severe renal impairment. The objectives of this trial were to assess equivalence with respect to the efficacy of sugammadex in subjects with normal renal function or severe renal impairment, to evaluate the safety of sugammadex in these subject groups and to compare the pharmacokinetic profiles.

What participants receive

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

  • sugammadexDrug

    Also called Org 25959

    Each subject will receive an

    intravenous (i.v.) single bolus dose of 0.6 mg.kg-1 rocuronium. After

    this dose, maintenance doses of 0.1 - 0.2 mg.kg-1

    rocuronium may be given. In case of maintenance dosing, the target depth of

    neuromuscular blockade has to be maintained at 1-2 post-tetanic counts (PTC). After the last dose of rocuronium has been administered, the subject will receive a single bolus dose of 4.0 mg.kg-1 sugammadex at a target depth of blockade of 1-2 PTC.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Participants with severe renal impairmentExperimentalParticipants with severe renal impairment will receive a single bolus dose of 4.0 mg.kg-1 sugammadex at a target depth of blockade of 1-2 PTC. Severe renal impairment was defined as creatinine clearance <30mL/min.
Receives: Drug: sugammadex
Participants with normal renal functionActive comparatorParticipants with normal renal impairment will receive a single bolus dose of 4.0 mg.kg-1 sugammadex at a target depth of blockade of 1-2 PTC. Normal renal function was defined as creatinine clearance >=80mL/min.
Receives: Drug: sugammadex

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Recovery of the T4/T1 Ratio to 0.9.

    Neuromuscular functioning was monitored by applying repetitive train of four (TOF) electrical stimulations to the ulnar nerve every 15 seconds and assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle. Nerve stimulation continued until the ratio of the magnitude of the fourth twitch (T4) to first twitch (T1) reached at least 0.9. The greater the T4/T1 ratio the greater the recovery from neuromuscular blockade, with a value of 1.0 representing full recovery.

    Measured: start of administration of sugammadex to recovery from neuromuscular blockade

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time to Recovery of the T4/T1 Ratio to 0.8

    Neuromuscular functioning was monitored by applying repetitive train of four (TOF) electrical stimulations to the ulnar nerve every 15 seconds and assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle. Nerve stimulation continued until the ratio of the magnitude of the fourth twitch (T4) to first twitch (T1) reached at least 0.9. The greater the T4/T1 ratio the greater the recovery from neuromuscular blockade, with a value of 1.0 representing full recovery.

    Measured: start of administration of sugammadex to recovery from neuromuscular blockade

  2. Time to Recovery of T4/T1 Ratio to 0.7

    Neuromuscular functioning was monitored by applying repetitive train of four (TOF) electrical stimulations to the ulnar nerve every 15 seconds and assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle. Nerve stimulation continued until the ratio of the magnitude of the fourth twitch (T4) to first twitch (T1) reached at least 0.9. The greater the T4/T1 ratio the greater the recovery from neuromuscular blockade, with a value of 1.0 representing full recovery.

    Measured: start of administration of sugammadex to recovery from neuromuscular blockade

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing sugammadex in people with Anesthesia, 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 10 inclusion and 13 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 16 May 2017. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Apr 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 to Recovery of the T4/T1 Ratio to 0.9. (time frame: start of administration of sugammadex to recovery from neuromuscular blockade). 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 NCT00702715, 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 16 May 2017.
