About this study

Official title: A Randomized Double Blind Trial Comparing Reversal With Low Doses Of Sugammadex aFter Rocuronium-induced Neuromuscular Block Under General Anesthesia in Patients Undergoing Non-cardiac Surgery(TOF TRIAL)

Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) are among the most commonly used drugs during general anesthesia and may induce complete muscle paralysis.They are used clinically to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to optimize surgical working conditions. Incomplete recovery from non-depolarising NMBAs continues to be a common problem in modern postoperative care unit and is associated with significant risk of microaspiration and hypoventilation which leads to pulmonary complications.Recently effective reversal of neuromuscular blockade has been described by use of lower dose of sugammadex the recommended without providing adequate answer to whether the lower dose is safe enough to avoid recurrent block.

Hypotheses:

Read more
  1. Administration of sugammadex 0.25 mg/kg at TOF ratio 0.3 will successfully reverse (TOF=0.9) rocuronium induced neuromuscular block within 10 min.
  2. Recurrent block (TOF ratio < 0.9) does not occur after reversal with low dose sugammadex 0.25 mg/kg.

The primary objective of this trial is to assess the dose-response characteristics of sugammadex in reversing rocuronium induced neuromuscular block and to identify the minimal effective dose

Secondary objective is to assess the safety of different doses of sugammadex (recurrent block (TOF ratio < 0.9) after reversal and the occurrence of adverse reactions)

Sugammadex is a very expensive drug which limits its use i anaesthesia department. By optimising drug dosage it may have economic impact and contribute to a wider use of sugammadex to reverse neuromuscular block before extubation and thus avoid incomplete recovery. This may lead to less risk for postoperative pulmonary complications and thereby reduce morbidity and mortality after surgery.

Read the detailed description

Doses of study drug will be 0 mg/kg Ideal Body Weight (IBW), 0.25 mg/kg IBW, 0.50 mg/kg IBW, 1.0 mg/kg IBW and 2.0 mg/kg IBW. TOF will be measured every 10th second until full reversal.

What is being measured

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

  1. The time from study drug administration to reaching a TOF ratio of 0.9.

    Measured: 10 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of patient with reoccurrence of neuromuscular block after initial reversal to TOF ratio 0.9.

    Measured: 20 minutes

  2. Number of patients with adverse reactions in each group

    Adverse reactions (anaphylactic reaction, flushing, urticaria, erythematous rash, (severe) hypotension (BPsyst> 75 mmHg), tachycardia (heart rate> 120 beats/min), bradycardia (heart rate <40 beats/min), swelling of tongue, swelling of pharynx, bronchospasm)

    Measured: until discharge - 3 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sugammadex in people with Postoperative Residual Curarization and Neuromuscular Block, run by The Hospital of Vestfold.

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 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2018. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Tayyba Aslam, MD (004798097489, tayybaaslam@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The time from study drug administration to reaching a TOF ratio of 0.9. (time frame: 10 minutes). 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 30 May 2018.
