About this study

Official title: Can we Antagonize Mivacurium With Neostigmine

The antagonism of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) (or curares), as well as the antagonism of other drugs used in anesthesia, is a major challenge for the speciality.

Residual paralysis is indeed a risk factor for post-operative morbidity and mortality and antagonization of curares at the end of the procedure is associated with a reduction in mortality .

Read more

Its use should be as large as possible and its contraindications are extremely rare.

The antagonism of the NMBA reduces the duration of the neuromuscular block and the complications that are associated .

In this study, the investigators use mivacurium (or Mivacron) as non-depolarizing curare and neostigmine as an antagonist.

Neostigmine reduces the duration of the neuromuscular block induced by mivacurium, By reducing the breakdown of acetylcholine, neostigmine induces an increase in acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft which competes for the same binding site as nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents, and reverses the neuromuscular blockade.

But the use of neostigmine in current practice is not very widespread in this clinical situation.

The reduction in the duration of the block is significant in comparison with a spontaneous recovery .

Moreover, spontaneous recovery is not always complete and sometimes very long.

Nevertheless, its action is effective and this study could support this use but also specify the duration and the quality of the return to normal of the neuromuscular transmission.

Being tested
Neostigmine (40 mcg / kg) at different time of neuromuscular block's recovery, Spontaneous recovery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Neostigmine (40 mcg / kg) at different time of neuromuscular block's recovery and Spontaneous recovery in people with Mivacurium and Neostigmine, run by Université Libre de Bruxelles at 1 site in Belgium.

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 4 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 19 May 2017. 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 Belgium. 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.

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?

Change in TOF ( Train Of Four) measure (time frame: for each patient, measure of Train Of Four at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 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 NCT03019835, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 19 May 2017.
