What is being measured

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

  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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)
  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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)

  4. 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)

  5. 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)

  6. 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)

  7. 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)

  8. 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)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Sugammadex and Rocuronium in people with Anesthesia, General, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 9 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 12 Apr 2019. 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. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 12 Apr 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?
