Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of 4.0 mg/kg Sugammadex at 1-2 PTC in Chinese and European Subjects (Study 19.4.335)(P05775AM1)(COMPLETED) (NCT NCT00826176)

NCT ID: NCT00826176

Last Updated: 2015-10-07

Results Overview

Neuromuscular functioning was monitored by applying repetitive train of four (TOF) electrical stimulations to the ulnar nerve every 15 seconds and assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle. Nerve stimulation continued until the ratio of the magnitude of the fourth twitch (T4) to first twitch (T1) reached at least 0.9. The greater the T4/T1 ratio the greater the recovery from neuromuscular blockade, with a value of 1.0 representing full recovery. Analysis of recovery in Chinese subjects was the primary objective; Caucasian subjects and between-group analyses were secondary.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Start of administration of sugammadex to recovery from neuromuscular blockade

Population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) consisted of all subjects who received sugammadex and had at least one efficacy measurement. One treated Chinese subject did not have any efficacy data and was thus excluded from the FAS. Hence, 114 Chinese Asian and 36 European Caucasian subjects were included in the FAS.

Neuromuscular functioning was monitored by applying repetitive train of four (TOF) electrical stimulations to the ulnar nerve every 15 seconds and assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle. Nerve stimulation continued until the ratio of the magnitude of the fourth twitch (T4) to first twitch (T1) reached at least 0.9. The greater the T4/T1 ratio the greater the recovery from neuromuscular blockade, with a value of 1.0 representing full recovery.
