ClinicalTrials.gov processed this data on August 23, 2015 Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.
Condition(s) targeted: Anesthesia
Intervention: Rocuronium bromide (Zemuron) (Drug); Rocuronium bromide (Zemuron) (Drug); Rocuronium bromide (Zemuron) (Drug)
Phase: Phase 3
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.
Summary
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the time course of muscle relaxation after
administration of three different single intravenous bolus doses of rocuronium bromide for
intubation (insertion of a tube through the nose or mouth into the trachea to provide
artificial ventilation) in term neonates (birth to <28 days old), infants (28 days to <=3
months) and toddlers (>3 months to <=2 years), children (2 years to less than or equal to 11
years of age), and adolescents (>11 years to less than or equal to 17 years of age).
Subjects in each of the age groups will be randomized to one of 3 Zemuron® doses: 0. 45
mg/kg, 0. 6 mg/kg, or 1. 0 mg/kg.
Clinical Details
Official title: A Randomized, Assessor-blind, Dose-ranging, Phase IIIB, Multicenter Trial Comparing the Intubating Conditions and Time Course of Block of Three Different Intubating Doses (0.45 mg/kg, 0.6 mg/kg, and 1.0 mg/kg) of Zemuron® in Pediatric and Adolescent Subjects Under General Anesthesia
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: Time to reappearance of T3 (time from end-administration of Zemuron to reappearance of the third twitch of a TOF stimulation)
Secondary outcome: Onset time, maximum block, time to reappearance of T1, Recovery to TOF 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 and intubation score
