About this study

Official title: A Phase IV Investigation of Sugammadex in Outpatient Urological Procedures

The goal of this clinical research study is to determine whether using sugammadex, given with a standard muscle relaxation drug during bladder surgeries, improves anesthesia conditions and recovery time.

During some bladder operations, your muscles must be completely relaxed. Muscle relaxation drugs cause the muscles to relax, including the respiratory muscles, and as a result artificial ventilation is needed to help you breathe. Sugammadex and other standard drugs reverse the effect of the muscle relaxation drugs, allowing you to breathe on your own after the operation.

Study Groups:

If you agree to take part in this study, you will be randomly assigned (as in the flip of a coin) to 1 of 2 study groups. This is done because no one knows if one study group is better, the same, or worse than the other group:

  • If you are in Group 1, you will receive sugammadex to reverse the muscle relaxation.
  • If you are in Group 2, you will receive the standard of care (neostigmine/glycopyrrolate) to reverse the muscle relaxation.

You and the surgeon will not know which group you have been assigned to. However, the anesthesiologist and study staff will know.

Length of Study:

You will be on study for up to 1 week after the cystoscopy. If you are unable to have the procedure performed, you may be taken off study early.

This is an investigational study. Sugammadex and neostigmine/glycopyrrolate are all FDA approved and commercially available to reverse muscle relaxation. The comparison of these drugs is investigational.

Up to 50 participants will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Read the detailed description

Study Procedures:

Before the cystoscopy, we will collect your basic information and medical history. We will take your vital signs and the anesthesiologist will perform routine assessments. This will take about 30-60 minutes to complete.

Before the cystoscopy, you will be given rocuronium to relax your muscles. After the procedure, you will receive either sugammadex or the standard of care to reverse the relaxation.

After you are extubated (the tube is removed from your throat), we will assess how fast the relaxation drugs the anesthesiologist gave you wear off (stop working), using a small monitoring device that will be attached to your wrist. This is the only research test that will be done right after surgery.

If you are still in the hospital 1 day after the cystoscopy, a member of the staff will ask you the series of questions. If you have been sent home, you will be called and you will complete them by phone.

Researchers will also collect information about your cystoscopy procedure and recovery from your medical record. This collection will continue for up to 1 week after surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • RocuroniumDrug

    Also called Rocuronium Bromide, Zemuron

    Experimental: Sugammadex Participants to have cystoscopy with bladder tumor resection. Rocuronium used to induce the neuromuscular blockade and given in a rapid sequence for endotracheal intubation at a dose of 0.45 mg/kg of Ideal Body Weight. If maintenance is needed for continued relaxation then a dose of 0.15 mg/kg of Ideal Body Weight repeated as necessary.

  • SugammadexDrug

    Sugammadex administered as a single bolus, intravenous injection. The amount used is based on the patient's weight. A dose of 4 mg/kg used if recovery has reached at least 1-2 post-tetanic counts (PTC) following Rocuronium induced blockade.

  • NeostigmineDrug

    70 mcg/kg by vein to reverse the muscle relaxation.

  • GlycopyrrolateDrug

    14 mcg/kg by vein to reverse the muscle relaxation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Muscle Recovery Time

    The primary outcome is to determine if Sugammadex can improve muscle recovery time, measured by time from administration of neuromuscular blockade reversal to train-of-four ratio of 0.9 in outpatient bladder procedures. It was assessed in the intraoperative period measuring the time from administration of reversal agent to TOF of 0.9 in minutes.

    Measured: Intraoperatively, up to 3 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. PostOperative Complications

    To determine if Sugammadex can improve post-operative complications for outpatient bladder procedures such as bladder perforation, nausea, vomiting, post-operative intubation and hospital admittance secondary to respiratory complications which was assessed uring follow ups on post-operative day 1 (POD1) and post-operative day 7 (POD7) looking for immediate postoperative complications such as bladder perforation, nausea, vomiting, postoperative intubation and hospital admittance secondary to respiratory complications and readmission within a week post-procedure for any other cause.

    Measured: Post-operatively, up to 7 days

  2. Overall Recovery Time

    To determine if Sugammadex can improve overall recovery time, measured by time from end of surgery to the time patient met Discharge Criteria.

    Measured: Up to 3 hours after end of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rocuronium, Sugammadex and Neostigmine in people with Malignant Neoplasms of Urinary Tract and Bladder Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 7 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 22 Sep 2020. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jul 2019). 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?

Muscle Recovery Time (time frame: Intraoperatively, up to 3 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Sep 2020.
