Brief

The main objective of our study is to compare the incidence of residual neuromuscular blockade (muscle relaxation) at the time of the removal of the breathing tube from your windpipe after reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block with sugammadex compared with neostigmine.

Recruiting Status:

No longer recruiting

Stanford Recruiting Status:

Condition(s):

Intervention(s):

  • Drug: Sugammadex
  • Drug: Neostigmine combined with Glycopyrrolate

Phase:

Phase 3

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:

18 years to 65 years

Genders Eligible for Study:

Male and Female

Health of Volunteers:

People with the conditions listed in this trial can participate as controls.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

? Male or female subjects who are greater than or equal to 18 and less than or equal to 65 years of age;
? Subjects of ASA Class 1 or 2 or 3;
? Subjects with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of <35 kg/m2;
? Subjects who are scheduled to undergo an elective open abdominal surgical procedure under general anesthesia requiring neuromuscular relaxation using rocuronium bromide (maintenance of neuromuscular blockade if required) for endotracheal intubation and requiring neuromuscular blockade reversal;
? Subjects who are scheduled to undergo a surgical procedure in a position that does not interfere with the use of TOF-Watch? SX;
? Subjects who are scheduled to undergo an elective open abdominal procedure expected to last less than or equal to 4 hours (from start of skin incision to end of last stitch of the skin);
? Subjects who have given written informed consent.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

? Subjects in whom a difficult intubation is expected because of anatomical malformations;
? Subjects known or suspected to have neuromuscular disorders that may impair neuromuscular blockade;
? Subjects known or suspected to have significant renal dysfunction (e.g., creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min) ;
? Subjects known or suspected to have significant hepatic dysfunction;
? Subjects known or suspected to have a (family) history of malignant hyperthermia;
? Subjects known or suspected to have an allergy to opioids, muscle relaxants or other medications used during general anesthesia;
? Subjects in whom the use of neostigmine and/or glycopyrrolate may be contraindicated;
? Subjects in whom a pre-established need for post-operative intensive care admission is expected;
? Female subjects who are pregnant;
? Female subjects who are breast-feeding;
? Subjects who have participated in a previous sugammadex clinical trial;
? Subjects who have participated in another investigational drug trial within 30 days before entering into clinical trial unless pre-approved by the sponsor.
