Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sugammadex Hypersensitivity Study (Study P06042) (NCT NCT00988065)

NCT ID: NCT00988065

Last Updated: 2019-01-30

Results Overview

Hypersensitivity signs/symptoms were systematically collected for each subject by the investigator. Suspected cases of hypersensitivity signs/symptoms were sent to the independent Adjudication Committee (comprised of anesthesiologists \& allergists/immunologists) for blinded review and determination of adjudicated hypersensitivity \&/or anaphylaxis based on expert evaluation of all clinical data from the healthy subject. The percentages of subjects who had adjudicated hypersensitivity at any dose (dose 1/Day 8, dose 2/Day 36, or dose 3/Day 78) were compared between the 3 treatment groups.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 8, Day 36, and Day 78 of the study

Population: All-Subjects as treated (i.e., who received at least one dose of randomized study medication).

Hypersensitivity signs/symptoms were systematically collected for each subject by the investigator. Suspected cases of hypersensitivity signs/symptoms were sent to the independent Adjudication Committee (comprised of anesthesiologists \& allergists/immunologists) for blinded review and determination of adjudicated hypersensitivity \&/or anaphylaxis based on expert evaluation of all clinical data from the healthy subject.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 8, Day 36, and Day 78 of the study

Population: All-Subjects as treated (i.e., who received at least one dose of randomized study medication).

The Adjudication Committee evaluated each case to determine whether the subject's hypersensitivity sign/symptoms fulfilled the definition of anaphylaxis according to the criteria defined by the Symposium on the Definition and Management of Anaphylaxis as described by Sampson et al. (J Allergy Clin Immunol 2006; 117:391-7). The percentages of subjects who had adjudicated anaphylaxis according to the Sampson Criteria at any dose (dose 1 \[\~Day 8\], dose 2 \[\~Day 36\], or dose 3 \[Day \~78\]) were compared between the 3 treatment groups.

The Adjudication Committee evaluated each case to determine anaphylaxis according to the criteria put forth by the guidelines of the Brighton Collaboration Anaphylaxis Working Group as described by Rüggeberg et al. (Vaccine 2007; 25:5675-5684). Level 1 represents the highest level of certainty of anaphylaxis and level 3 the lowest level of certainty. The percentages of subjects who had adjudicated anaphylaxis according to the Rüggeberg Criteria at any dose (dose 1 \[\~Day 8\], dose 2 \[\~Day 36\], or dose 3 \[Day \~78\]) were compared between the 3 treatment groups.

Hypersensitivity signs/symptoms were systematically collected for each subject by the investigator. Suspected cases of hypersensitivity signs/symptoms were sent to the independent Adjudication Committee (comprised of anesthesiologists \& allergists/immunologists) for blinded review \& determination of adjudicated hypersensitivity \&/or anaphylaxis based on expert evaluation of all clinical data from the healthy subject.
