Dose-Finding Pediatric and Adult Trial With Sugammadex (Org 25969, MK-8616, SCH 900616) (19.4.306) (MK-8616-034) (P05961)

Registration Number
NCT00421148
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is:

* to explore the dose-response relation of sugammadex (Org 25969, MK-8616, SCH 900616) given as a reversal agent at reappearance of T2 after 0.6 mg.kg-1 rocuronium in pediatric and adult participants

* to explore the pharmacokinetics (PK) of sugammadex in pediatric and adult participants, and to evaluate the safety of sugammadex in pediatric and adult participants.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time From Start of Administration of Study Treatment (Sugammadex or Placebo) to Recovery T4/T1 Ratio to 0.9From start of sugammadex or palcebo administration to recovery of T4/T1 ratio to 0.9 (ranging from ~0.5 minutes to ~30 minutes from sugammadex or placebo administration)

Neuromuscular functioning was monitored by applying repetitive Train-Of-Four (TOF) electrical stimulations to the ulnar nerve every 15 seconds \& assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle. T1 \& T4 refer to the magnitudes (heights) of the first \& fourth twitches, respectively, after TOF nerve stimulation. The T4/T1 Ratio (expressed as a decimal of up to 1.0) indicates the extent of recovery from neuromuscular blockade (NMB). In this study, twitch responses were recorded until the T4/T1 Ratio reached ≥0.9, the minimum acceptable ratio that indicated recovery from NMB. A faster time to recovery of the T4/T1 Ratio to 0.9 indicates a faster recovery from NMB.
