neostigmine and Bradyarrhythmia

neostigmine has been researched along with Bradyarrhythmia in 51 studies

Neostigmine: A cholinesterase inhibitor used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis and to reverse the effects of muscle relaxants such as gallamine and tubocurarine. Neostigmine, unlike PHYSOSTIGMINE, does not cross the blood-brain barrier.
neostigmine : A quaternary ammonium ion comprising an anilinium ion core having three methyl substituents on the aniline nitrogen, and a 3-[(dimethylcarbamoyl)oxy] substituent at position 3. It is a parasympathomimetic which acts as a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.

Trial Outcomes

Percentage of Participants Experiencing a Serious Adverse Event (SAE) Up To 7 Days After Administration of Study Intervention

As per the protocol primary analysis, the percentage of participants experiencing an SAE up to 7 days after administration of study intervention was reported. An SAE was an adverse event that: resulted in death; was life threatening; resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; resulted in or prolonged an existing inpatient hospitalization; was a congenital anomaly or birth defect; was an other important medical event, was a cancer; or was associated with an overdose. (NCT03346057)
Timeframe: Up to 7 days

InterventionPercentage of Participants (Number)
Sugammadex 2 mg/kg11.4
Sugammadex 4 mg/kg7.5
Sugammadex 16 mg/kg10.3
Neostigmine + Glycopyrrolate5.9

Percentage of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE) Up To 7 Days After Administration of Study Intervention

As per the protocol primary analysis, the percentage of participants experiencing an AE up to 7 days after administration of study intervention was reported. An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition that was temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product was also an AE. (NCT03346057)
Timeframe: Up to 7 days

Sugammadex 2 mg/kg94.3
Sugammadex 4 mg/kg88.8
Sugammadex 16 mg/kg92.6
Neostigmine + Glycopyrrolate88.2

Percentage of Participants With Other Treatment-Emergent Cardiac Arrhythmia Events

The percentage of participants experiencing other treatment-emergent cardiac arrhythmia events was identified with continuous ECG monitoring. Other treatment-emergent cardiac arrhythmias were defined as new or worsening arrhythmias (e.g., atrial fibrillation, atrial tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or ventricular tachyarrhythmia), sustained for at least 1 minute after administration of study intervention. Worsening arrhythmia events may or may not have been considered an AE, as determined by investigator judgment. (NCT03346057)
Timeframe: Up to approximately 35 minutes post-administration

InterventionPercentage of participants (Number)
Sugammadex 2 mg/kg1.0
Sugammadex 4 mg/kg0.0

Neostigmine + Glycopyrrolate2.0

Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Sinus Bradycardia Events

The percentage of participants experiencing treatment-emergent sinus bradycardia events was identified with continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. Treatment-emergent sinus bradycardia were defined as a heart rate <60 bpm that has also decreased more than 20% compared to participant baseline heart rate value, sustained for at least 1 minute after administration of study intervention. Treatment-emergent sinus bradycardia events may or may not have been considered an adverse event (AE), as determined by investigator judgment. (NCT03346057)

Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Sinus Tachycardia Events

The percentage of participants experiencing treatment-emergent sinus tachycardia events was identified with continuous ECG monitoring. Treatment-emergent sinus tachycardia is defined as a heart rate ≥100 bpm that has also increased more than 20% compared to participant baseline heart rate value, sustained for at least 1 minute after administration of study intervention. Treatment-emergent sinus tachycardia events may or may not have been considered an AE, as determined by investigator judgment. (NCT03346057)

Percentage of Participants Experiencing an Event of Clinical Interest (ECI) Up To 7 Days After Administration of Study Intervention

As per the protocol primary analysis, the percentage of participants experiencing an ECI up to 7 days after administration of study intervention was reported. ECIs were a discrete set of both AEs and SAEs, specifically designated as such for the trial. For the purposes of this investigation, ECIs included 1) drug-induced liver injury; 2) clinically-relevant arrhythmias, inclusive of bradycardia and tachycardia defined as events necessitating intervention, as determined by investigator judgment; and 3) instances of hypersensitivity and/or anaphylaxis adjudicated by an external expert Adjudication Committee. A participant could have experienced more than one type of ECI. (NCT03346057)
