Brief summary:
This study investigates the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of sugammadex (Org 25969; MK-8616) when administered for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade in male participants receiving surgery, classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class 1 (otherwise normal, healthy participant) to class 2 (participant with mild systemic disease). The primary objective of this study is to explore the dose-response relation of sugammadex given as a reversal agent at 3, 5, or 15 minutes following administration of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Placebo (single intravenous (IV) bolus) administered 3 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 2: Sugammadex (1 mg/kg; single IV bolus) administered 3 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 3: Sugammadex (2 mg/kg; single IV bolus) administered 3 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 4: Sugammadex (4 mg/kg; single IV bolus) administered 3 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 5: Sugammadex (6 mg/kg; single IV bolus) administered 3 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 6: Sugammadex (8 mg/kg; single IV bolus) administered 3 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 7: Placebo (single IV bolus) administered 5 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 8: Sugammadex (1 mg/kg; single IV bolus) administered 5 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 9: Sugammadex (2 mg/kg; single IV bolus) administered 5 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 10: Sugammadex (4 mg/kg; single IV bolus) administered 5 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 11: Sugammadex (6 mg/kg; single IV bolus) administered 5 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 12: Sugammadex (8 mg/kg; single IV bolus) administered 5 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 13: Placebo (single IV bolus) administered 15 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 14: Sugammadex (1 mg/kg; single IV bolus) administered 15 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 15: Sugammadex (2 mg/kg; single IV bolus) administered 15 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 16: Sugammadex (4 mg/kg; single IV bolus) administered 15 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 17: Sugammadex (6 mg/kg; single IV bolus) administered 15 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®. arm 18: Sugammadex (8 mg/kg; single IV bolus) administered 15 minutes after the bolus intubation dose of 0.6 mg/kg Esmeron®.

Interventions: intervention 1: Placebo intervention 2: Sugammadex intervention 3: Esmeron®
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: 0.9% NaCl administered as a fast IV bolus dose (within 30 seconds). intervention 2: Sugammadex administered as a fast IV bolus dose (within 30 seconds), dosed according to participant actual body weight. intervention 3: Esmeron® administered at 0.6 mg/kg as a fast IV bolus (within 10 seconds), dosed according to participant actual body weight.
