A Phase IV Investigation of Sugammadex in Outpatient Urological Procedures
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Rocuronium, Sugammadex, and 2 other interventions for Malignant Neoplasms of Urinary Tract and Bladder Cancer. Completed, enrolled 54 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to determine whether using sugammadex, given with a standard muscle relaxation drug during bladder surgeries, improves anesthesia conditions and recovery time. During some bladder operations, your muscles must be completely relaxed. Muscle relaxation drugs cause the muscles to relax, including the respiratory muscles, and as a result artificial ventilation is needed to help you breathe. Sugammadex and other standard drugs reverse the effect of the muscle relaxation drugs, allowing you to breathe on your own after the operation. Study Groups: If you agree to take part in this study, you will be randomly assigned (as in the flip of a coin) to 1 of 2 study groups. This is done because no one knows if one study group is better, the same, or worse than the other group: * If you are in Group 1, you will receive sugammadex to reverse the muscle relaxation. * If you are in Group 2, you will receive the standard of care (neostigmine/glycopyrrolate) to reverse the muscle relaxation. You and the surgeon will not know which group you have been assigned to. However, the anesthesiologist and study staff will know. Length of Study: You will be on study for up to 1 week after the cystoscopy. If you are unable to have the procedure performed, you may be taken off study early. This is an investigational study. Sugammadex and neostigmine/glycopyrrolate are all FDA approved and commercially available to reverse muscle relaxation. The comparison of these drugs is investigational. Up to 50 participants will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Timeline
Interventions
Experimental: Sugammadex Participants to have cystoscopy with bladder tumor resection. Rocuronium used to induce the neuromuscular blockade and given in a rapid sequence for endotracheal intubation at a dose of 0.45 mg/kg of Ideal Body Weight. If maintenance is needed for continued relaxation then a dose of 0.15 mg/kg of Ideal Body Weight repeated as necessary.
Sugammadex administered as a single bolus, intravenous injection. The amount used is based on the patient's weight. A dose of 4 mg/kg used if recovery has reached at least 1-2 post-tetanic counts (PTC) following Rocuronium induced blockade.
70 mcg/kg by vein to reverse the muscle relaxation.
14 mcg/kg by vein to reverse the muscle relaxation.
