Trial summary

This trial was conducted to study the potential for hypersensitivity symptoms at the time of initial exposure to sugammadex and upon repeat exposure, since it was unknown whether the frequency or severity of hypersensitivity symptoms may worsen at repeat exposure over a prolonged period.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Study to Evaluate the Incidence of Hypersensitivity After Repeated Single Dose Administrations of Sugammadex (SCH 900616) in Healthy Subjects

This trial was conducted to study the potential for hypersensitivity symptoms at the time of initial exposure to sugammadex and upon repeat exposure, since it was unknown whether the frequency or severity of hypersensitivity symptoms may worsen at repeat exposure over a prolonged period.

In total 450 participants (all healthy subjects) were to be randomized to receive one of three study treatments: three repeated doses of either sugammadex 4 mg/kg, sugammadex 16 mg/kg, or placebo. Participants were to receive one dose of study treatment on Day 8, Day 36, and Day 78 of the study in order to determine the safety of each treatment dose.

Read the detailed description

All subjects were to be admitted to the study center the day before each scheduled dose and were to leave the unit the morning of the day after each dose. In cases of suspected hypersensitivity symptoms, healthy subjects were to remain confined to the study center until all signs and symptoms regressed, the subject was stable, and the investigator considered it safe for the subject to leave the study center. Four sites participated in this trial.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Percentage of Participants With Adjudicated Hypersensitivity Signs/Symptoms, for Each Sugammadex Dose Group and Placebo.

    Hypersensitivity signs/symptoms were systematically collected for each subject by the investigator. Suspected cases of hypersensitivity signs/symptoms were sent to the independent Adjudication Committee (comprised of anesthesiologists \& allergists/immunologists) for blinded review and determination of adjudicated hypersensitivity \&/or anaphylaxis based on expert evaluation of all clinical data from the healthy subject.

    The percentages of subjects who had adjudicated hypersensitivity at any dose (dose 1/Day 8, dose 2/Day 36, or dose 3/Day 78) were compared between the 3 treatment groups.

    Measured: Day 8, Day 36, and Day 78 of the study

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The Percentage of Participants With Adjudicated Anaphylaxis According to the Definition by Sampson et al., for Each Sugammadex Dose Group and Placebo.

    The Adjudication Committee evaluated each case to determine whether the subject's hypersensitivity sign/symptoms fulfilled the definition of anaphylaxis according to the criteria defined by the Symposium on the Definition and Management of Anaphylaxis as described by Sampson et al. (J Allergy Clin Immunol 2006; 117:391-7).

    The percentages of subjects who had adjudicated anaphylaxis according to the Sampson Criteria at any dose (dose 1 [~Day 8], dose 2 [~Day 36], or dose 3 [Day ~78]) were compared between the 3 treatment groups.

    Measured: Day 8, Day 36, and Day 78 of the study

  2. The Percentage of Participants With Each of the 3 Levels of Diagnostic Certainty of Adjudicated Anaphylaxis According to the Definition by Rüggeberg et al., for Each Sugammadex Dose Group and Placebo.

    The Adjudication Committee evaluated each case to determine anaphylaxis according to the criteria put forth by the guidelines of the Brighton Collaboration Anaphylaxis Working Group as described by Rüggeberg et al. (Vaccine 2007; 25:5675-5684).

    Level 1 represents the highest level of certainty of anaphylaxis and level 3 the lowest level of certainty.

    The percentages of subjects who had adjudicated anaphylaxis according to the Rüggeberg Criteria at any dose (dose 1 [~Day 8], dose 2 [~Day 36], or dose 3 [Day ~78]) were compared between the 3 treatment groups.

    Measured: Day 8, Day 36, and Day 78 of the study

  3. The Percentage of Participants With Adjudicated Hypersensitivity Signs/Symptoms After Each Randomized Dose of Study Treatment, for Each Sugammadex Dose Group and Placebo.

    Hypersensitivity signs/symptoms were systematically collected for each subject by the investigator. Suspected cases of hypersensitivity signs/symptoms were sent to the independent Adjudication Committee (comprised of anesthesiologists \& allergists/immunologists) for blinded review \& determination of adjudicated hypersensitivity \&/or anaphylaxis based on expert evaluation of all clinical data from the healthy subject.

    The percentages of subjects who had adjudicated hypersensitivity (dose 1/Day 8, dose 2/Day 36, or dose 3/Day 78) are presented for each of the 3 treatment arms for each dose.

    Measured: Day 8, Day 36, and Day 78 of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Sugammadex 4 mg/kg and Sugammadex 16 mg/kg in people with Hypersensitivity, 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 7 inclusion and 12 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 30 Jan 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 Jul 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?

The Percentage of Participants With Adjudicated Hypersensitivity Signs/Symptoms, for Each Sugammadex Dose Group and Placebo. (time frame: Day 8, Day 36, and Day 78 of the study). 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 NCT00988065, 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 30 Jan 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
