Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of the trial is to determine the relationship within a participant between the time to manual detection of the reappearance of the fourth twitch (T4) measured using a peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) and the time to recovery of the fourth twitch/first twitch (T4/T1) ratio to 0.9 measured using a Train Of Four (TOF)-Watch® SX, of 4.0 mg/kg sugammadex administered at 15 minutes after either a bolus dose of 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium or the last maintenance dose of 0.15 mg/kg rocuronium.


Description:

The TOF-Watch® SX has been used for neuromuscular monitoring in all

clinical trials with sugammadex. In clinical practice however, a PNS is commonly

used in many hospitals worldwide. A disadvantage of a PNS is that it is not objective monitoring like the TOF-Watch® SX, and it can detect only the number of twitches. In this trial, the relationship between the time to reappearance of T4 using PNS (i.e. Ministim® model MS-IV) and the time to recovery of the T4/T1 ratio to 0.9 using the TOF-Watch® SX was determined after a dose of 4.0 mg/kg sugammadex was administered 15 minutes after the last dose of rocuronium. Determining this relationship will enable the provision of advice on when it is safe to extubate participants after administration of 4.0 mg/kg sugammadex for reversing neuromuscular block while using a PNS. The time to reappearance of T4 was assessed by a blinded PNS-assessor. This assessor was blinded for the dose of sugammadex used and for the TOF results measured with the TOF-Watch® SX.

Intervention

Drug:
sugammadex
Participants will receive an intubating dose of 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium, followed by one or more maintenance doses of 0.15 mg/kg rocuronium, if necessary. Fifteen minutes after the last dose of rocuronium, 1.0 or 4.0 mg/kg sugammadex will be randomly administered by intravenous (IV) bolus dose based on actual body weight.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Time From Start of Administration of 1.0 mg/kg Sugammadex to Recovery of the T4/T1 Ratio to 0.9 Measured by a TOF-Watch® SX Neuromuscular function was monitored by applying repetitive TOF electrical stimulations with the TOF-Watch® SX to the ulnar nerve of one forearm every 15 seconds & assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle with the TOF-Watch® SX. T1 and T4 are the magnitudes (heights) of the first and fourth twitches respectively after TOF nerve stimulation, where stimulation was continued until the T4/T1 ratio reached 0.9. A higher T4/T1 ratio indicates a lower degree of neuromuscular blockade, with a value of 1.0 representing full recovery. Only participants treated with 1.0 mg/kg sugammadex are presented where the TOF-Watch® SX on the dominant forearm n =15, and on the non-dominant forearm n = 14. The 4.0 mg/kg sugammadex group was not evaluated for this outcome measure. Up to 150 minutes after administering sugammadex No
Other Time From Start of Administration of 1.0 or 4.0 mg/kg Sugammadex to Reappearance of T4 Measured by a TOF-Watch® SX Neuromuscular function was monitored by applying repetitive TOF electrical stimulations with the TOF-Watch® SX to the ulnar nerve of one forearm every 15 seconds & assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle with the TOF-Watch® SX. T4 is the fourth twitch after TOF nerve stimulation. For participants treated with 1.0 mg/kg sugammadex the TOF-Watch® SX on the dominant forearm n =15, and on the non-dominant forearm n = 14. For participants treated with 4.0 mg/kg sugammadex the TOF-Watch® SX on the dominant forearm n =30, and on the non-dominant forearm n = 31. Up to 7 minutes after administering sugammadex No
Other Time From Start of Administration of 1.0 mg/kg Sugammadex to Reappearance of T4 Measured by a PNS Neuromuscular function was monitored by applying repetitive TOF stimulations manually to the ulnar nerve of one forearm every 15 seconds & the number of twitches collected manually at the adductor pollicis muscle with the PNS by a blinded PNS assessor. T4 is the fourth twitch after TOF nerve stimulation. Only participants treated with 1.0 mg/kg sugammadex are presented, where the PNS on the dominant forearm n =15, and on the non-dominant forearm n = 14. The 4.0 mg/kg sugammadex group was not evaluated for this outcome measure. Up to 5 minutes after administering sugammadex No
Other Time From Start of Administration of 1.0 or 4.0 mg/kg Sugammadex to Recovery of the T4/T1 Ratio to 0.8 Measured by a TOF-Watch® SX Neuromuscular function was monitored by applying repetitive TOF electrical stimulations with the TOF-Watch® SX to the ulnar nerve of one forearm every 15 seconds & assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle with the TOF-Watch® SX. T1 and T4 are the magnitudes (heights) of the first and fourth twitches respectively after TOF nerve stimulation, where stimulation was continued until the T4/T1 ratio reached 0.8. A higher T4/T1 ratio indicates a lower degree of neuromuscular blockade, with a value of 1.0 representing full recovery. For participants treated with 1.0 mg/kg sugammadex the TOF-Watch® SX on the dominant forearm n =15, and on the non-dominant forearm n = 14. For participants treated with 4.0 mg/kg sugammadex the TOF-Watch® SX on the dominant forearm n =30, and on the non-dominant forearm n = 31. Up to 42 minutes after administering sugammadex No
Other Time From Start of Administration of 1.0 or 4.0 mg/kg Sugammadex to Recovery of the T4/T1 Ratio to 0.7 Measured by a TOF-Watch® SX Neuromuscular function was monitored by applying repetitive TOF electrical stimulations with the TOF-Watch® SX to the ulnar nerve of one forearm every 15 seconds & assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle with the TOF-Watch® SX. T1 and T4 are the magnitudes (heights) of the first and fourth twitches respectively after TOF nerve stimulation, where stimulation was continued until the T4/T1 ratio reached 0.7. A higher T4/T1 ratio indicates a lower degree of neuromuscular blockade, with a value of 1.0 representing full recovery. For participants treated with 1.0 mg/kg sugammadex the TOF-Watch® SX on the dominant forearm n =15, and on the non-dominant forearm n = 14.
