About this study

Prospective Randomized non inferiority Trial involving adult patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia.56 Patients will be enrolled in 2 groups : full dose sugammadex vs half dose sugammadex for reversal of NMB.

Read the detailed description

The investigators' aim is to prove that half dose sugammadex in combination with neostigmine 0.05 mg/kg is non-inferior to the recommended dose of sugammadex for the reversal of deep ( absence of Trian of Four response :TOF) or moderate ( TOF 1 or 2 twiches) muscle paralysis in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.

Being tested
Sugammadex, Neostigmine, glycopyrrolate

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1 : (NS)Active comparatorGroup 1 Drug combination: patients receive half of the recommended dose of sugammadex plus dose of neostigmine" 1. Sugammadex IV= -1 mg/kg( moderate NMB) or * 2 mg/kg (deep NMB) 2. neostigmine IV = 50mcg/kg 3. glycopyrrolate 10 mcg/kg
Receives: Drug: Sugammadex; Drug: Neostigmine; Drug: glycopyrrolate
Group 2 : (S)Active comparatorpatients receive Full recommended dose of sugammadex Sugammadex IV= 2mg/kg (Moderate NMB) 4mg/kg ( Deep NMB)
Receives: Drug: Sugammadex

What is being measured

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

  1. TOF ratio of 0.9

    Measured: within 5 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. the time to return of TOF ratio to 0.9 and the time till extubation

    Measured: within 10 minutes

  2. Residual neuro-muscular blockade

    Post Anesthesia recovery unit

    Measured: within 10 to 180 mins

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sugammadex, Neostigmine and glycopyrrolate in people with Anesthesia Recovery, run by American University of Beirut Medical Center at 1 site in Lebanon.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 27 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Lebanon. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

TOF ratio of 0.9 (time frame: within 5 minutes). 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 NCT02375217, 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 27 Jun 2018.
