Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an active-comparator controlled study to evaluate the effect of sugammadex compared to neostigmine/glycopyrrolate for reversal of rocuronium on the incidence of urinary retention after subjects undergo elective ambulatory spine surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Subjects requiring elective ambulatory posterior lumbar laminectomy, will receive either an intravenous infusion bolus of Sugammadex (2 mg/kg dosed by actual body weight) or intravenous infusion bolus of Neostigmine (50 μg/kg, up to 5 mg maximum dose) plus Glycopyrrolate (10 μg/kg, up to 1 mg maximum dose). Additionally, all subjects will receive hospital standard of care therapy for their surgery and hospital stay.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Sugammadex 2 mg/kg

Sugammadex 2 mg/kg administered as a single intravenous (IV) dose.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sugammadex

Intervention Type DRUG

Sugammadex will be used to reverse rocuronium neuromuscular blockade (NMB). Dose will be according to participant actual body weight.

Rocuronium

Intervention Type DRUG

To achieve NMB, participants will receive the steroidal neuromuscular blocking agent Rocuronium Bromide administered via IV infusion and dosed according to participant actual body weight. It will be used per label to maintain muscle relaxation as an adjunct to general anesthesia.

Neostigmine + Glycopyrrolate

Neostigmine 50 μg/kg (up to 5 mg maximum dose) plus glycopyrrolate 10 μg/kg (up to 1 mg maximum dose) administered as a single IV dose.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Neostigmine

Intervention Type DRUG

Neostigmine will be used to reverse rocuronium NMB. Dose will be according to participant actual body weight.

Glycopyrrolate

Intervention Type DRUG

Glycopyrrolate will be co-administered with neostigmine during reversal of rocuronium NMB. Dose will be according to participant actual body weight.

Rocuronium

Intervention Type DRUG

To achieve NMB, participants will receive the steroidal neuromuscular blocking agent Rocuronium Bromide administered via IV infusion and dosed according to participant actual body weight. It will be used per label to maintain muscle relaxation as an adjunct to general anesthesia.
