What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
SugammadexDrug
Also called Org 25969, MK-8616, Bridion®
Sugammadex solution for injection.
RocuroniumDrug
Also called Zemuron®
Rocuronium bromide solution for injection.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Rocuronium + Sugammadex 2.0 mg/kg | Experimental | After the IV intubation dose (0.6 mg/kg) or last maintenance dose (0.15 mg/kg) of rocuronium, at reappearance of T2, participants will receive IV sugammadex 2.0 mg/kg. Receives: Drug: Sugammadex; Drug: Rocuronium |
| Rocuronium + Sugammadex 4.0 mg/kg | Experimental | After the IV intubation dose (0.6 mg/kg) or last maintenance dose (0.15 mg/kg) of rocuronium, at reappearance of T2, participants will receive IV sugammadex 4.0 mg/kg. Receives: Drug: Sugammadex; Drug: Rocuronium |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Time From Start of Sugammadex Administration to Recovery of T4/T1 Ratio to 0.9 in Participants With or Having a Past History of Pulmonary Disease
The mean time from the start of sugammadex administration to recovery of the T4/T1 ratio to 0.9 was determined. Less time indicates faster recovery from neuromuscular blockade. The ratio of T4 (fourth twitch; amplitude of fourth response to train of four [TOF] stimulation is expressed as percent of control T4) over T1 (first twitch; amplitude of first response to TOF stimulation is expressed as percent of control T1) ranges from 0 (complete loss of T4 twitch response) to 1.0 (complete recovery of T4 twitch response). For TOF stimulation, 4 consecutive square wave supra-maximal stimuli of 0.2 msec duration were delivered at 2 Hz every 15 seconds. Neuromuscular monitoring was performed with the TOF-Watch® SX.
Measured: Up to 90 minutes
Percentage of Participants Experiencing ≥1 Adverse Event(s) (AE)
The percentage of participants experiencing ≥1 AE(s) was determined for each arm. An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
Measured: Up to 7 days
Percentage of Participants Discontinuing Study Treatment Due to an Adverse Event (AE)
The percentage of participants discontinuing from study treatment due to an AE was determined for each arm. An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
Measured: Up to 7 days
Secondary outcomes (8)
Time From Start of Sugammadex Administration to Recovery of T4/T1 Ratio to 0.7 in Participants With or Having a Past History of Pulmonary Disease
The mean time from the start of sugammadex administration to recovery of the T4/T1 ratio to 0.7 was determined. Less time indicates faster recovery from neuromuscular blockade. The ratio of T4 (fourth twitch; amplitude of fourth response to train of four [TOF] stimulation is expressed as percent of control T4) over T1 (first twitch; amplitude of first response to TOF stimulation is expressed as percent of control T1) ranges from 0 (complete loss of T4 twitch response) to 1.0 (complete recovery of T4 twitch response). For TOF stimulation, 4 consecutive square wave supra-maximal stimuli of 0.2 msec duration were delivered at 2 Hz every 15 seconds. Neuromuscular monitoring was performed with the TOF-Watch® SX.
Measured: Up to 90 minutes
Time From Start of Sugammadex Administration to Recovery of T4/T1 Ratio to 0.8 in Participants With or Having a Past History of Pulmonary Disease
The mean time from the start of sugammadex administration to recovery of the T4/T1 ratio to 0.8 was determined. Less time indicates faster recovery from neuromuscular blockade. The ratio of T4 (fourth twitch; amplitude of fourth response to train of four [TOF] stimulation is expressed as percent of control T4) over T1 (first twitch; amplitude of first response to TOF stimulation is expressed as percent of control T1) ranges from 0 (complete loss of T4 twitch response) to 1.0 (complete recovery of T4 twitch response). For TOF stimulation, 4 consecutive square wave supra-maximal stimuli of 0.2 msec duration were delivered at 2 Hz every 15 seconds. Neuromuscular monitoring was performed with the TOF-Watch® SX.
Measured: Up to 90 minutes
Level of Consciousness Assessment 1: Prior to Transfer to the Recovery Room Following Extubation
The level of consciousness prior to transfer to the recovery room was determined by the clinician for each participant. Each participants was assigned 1 of 3 potential levels of consciousness: 1) awake and oriented; 2) arousable with minimal stimulation; or 3) responsive only to tactile stimulation.
Measured: Up to 6 hours (prior to transfer to the recovery room after extubation)
Level of Consciousness Assessment 2: Prior to Discharge From the Recovery Room
The level of consciousness prior to discharge from the recovery room was determined by the clinician for each participant. Each participants was assigned 1 of 3 potential levels of consciousness: 1) awake and oriented; 2) arousable with minimal stimulation; or 3) responsive only to tactile stimulation.
Measured: Up to 6 hours (prior to discharge from the recovery room)
Five-Second Head Lift Assessment 1: Prior to Transfer to the Recovery Room Following Extubation
The ability of each cooperative (based on clinician determination) participant to perform a 5-second head lift was determined by the clinician. Participants were rated as either able or not able to complete the head lift task.
Measured: Up to 6 hours (prior to transfer to the recovery room after extubation)
Five-Second Head Lift Assessment 2: Prior to Discharge From the Recovery Room
The ability of each cooperative (based on clinician determination) participant to perform a 5-second head lift was determined by the clinician. Participants were rated as either able or not able to complete the head lift task.
Measured: Up to 6 hours (prior to discharge from the recovery room)
General Muscle Weakness Assessment 1: Prior to Transfer to the Recovery Room Following Extubation
Each cooperative (based on clinician determination) participant was assessed by a clinician to determine if there was muscle weakness. Participants were rated as having or not having muscle weakness by the clinician.
Measured: Up to 6 hours (prior to transfer to the recovery room after extubation)
General Muscle Weakness Assessment 2: Prior to Discharge From the Recovery Room
Each cooperative (based on clinician determination) participant was assessed by a clinician to determine if there was muscle weakness. Participants were rated as having or not having muscle weakness by the clinician.
Measured: Up to 6 hours (prior to discharge from the recovery room)

Primary outcome
Time From Start of Sugammadex Administration to Recovery of T4/T1 Ratio to 0.9 in Participants With or Having a Past History of Pulmonary Disease
Time frame: Up to 90 minutes
The mean time from the start of sugammadex administration to recovery of the T4/T1 ratio to 0.9 was determined. Less time indicates faster recovery from neuromuscular blockade. The ratio of T4 (fourth twitch; amplitude of fourth response to train of four [TOF] stimulation is expressed as percent of control T4) over T1 (first twitch; amplitude of first response to TOF stimulation is expressed as percent of control T1) ranges from 0 (complete loss of T4 twitch response) to 1.0 (complete recovery of T4 twitch response). For TOF stimulation, 4 consecutive square wave supra-maximal stimuli of 0.2 msec duration were delivered at 2 Hz every 15 seconds. Neuromuscular monitoring was performed with the TOF-Watch® SX.
Percentage of Participants Experiencing ≥1 Adverse Event(s) (AE)
Time frame: Up to 7 days
The percentage of participants experiencing ≥1 AE(s) was determined for each arm. An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
Percentage of Participants Discontinuing Study Treatment Due to an Adverse Event (AE)
Time frame: Up to 7 days
The percentage of participants discontinuing from study treatment due to an AE was determined for each arm. An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
