Comparison of Sugammadex (Org 25969) With Neostigmine as Reversal Agents for Rocuronium or Vecuronium at Reappearance of T2 (P05960)

A Multi -Center Randomized Parallel Group Comparative Active Controlled Safety Assessor Blinded Phase 3a Pivotal Trial in Adult Subjects Comparing Org 25969 With Neostigmine as Reversal Agents of a Neuromuscular Block Induced by Rocuronium or Vecuronium at Reappearance of T2

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate in adult participants faster recovery from a neuromuscular block induced by either rocuronium or vecuronium after reversal at reappearance of T2 (the amplitude of the first response of second twitch to train of four (TOF) stimulation, expressed as percentage of control first twitch, T1) by 2.0 mg/kg sugammadex (Org 25969) compared to 50 ug/kg neostigmine.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Is of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 1 - 4;
• Is above or equal to the age of 18;
• Scheduled for surgical procedures with a general anesthesia with the use of rocuronium or vecuronium for endotracheal intubation and maintenance of neuromuscular block;
• Scheduled for surgical procedure in supine position;
• Given written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participants in whom a difficult intubation because of anatomical malformations was expected;
• Is known or suspected to have neuromuscular disorders impairing neuromuscular block (NMB) and/or significant renal dysfunction;
• Is known or suspected to have a (family) history of malignant hyperthermia;
• Is known or suspected to have an allergy to narcotics, muscle relaxants or other medication used during general anesthesia;
• Is receiving medication in a dose and/or at a time point known to interfere with neuromuscular blocking agents such as antibiotics, anticonvulsants and Mg2+;
• Participants in whom the use of neostigmine and/or glycopyrrolate may be contraindicated;
• Had already participated in a sugammadex trial;
• Had participated in another clinical trial, not pre-approved by NV Organon, within 30 days of entering into P05960.
• Females who are pregnant:
• Females of childbearing potential not using any method of birth control: condom or using only hormonal contraception as birth control;
• Females who were breast-feeding.
