All Clinical Trials for Neostigmine Methylsulfate Pfs

Trial ID Title Status Sponsor Phase Start Date Summary
NCT01050543 ↗ Comparison of Sugammadex With Neostigmine as Reversal Agents for Rocuronium at Reappearance of T2 (Study P06101) Completed Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. Phase 3 2010-02-01 This is a randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, single-dose, multi-site, safety-assessor blinded study comparing sugammadex to neostigmine for reversal of neuromuscular blockade in Korean subjects undergoing elective surgical procedures under general anesthesia that require rocuronium for neuromuscular blockade. Study medication will be administered at reappearance of T2. Time to recovery will be measured from start of study medication administration to recovery of the T4/T1 ratio of 0.9. The primary hypothesis is that the time to recovery of the T4/T1 ratio of 0.9 is shorter with sugammadex than with neostigmine.
NCT02279147 ↗ Cholinergic Anti-inflammatory Pathway in Prevention & Treatment of the SIRS in Patients With Jaundice After Operation. Unknown status Wanqing Gu Phase 1/Phase 2 2014-08-01 RATIONALE:Anticholinesterase drugs and cholinergic M receptor antagonist are applied to patients who have obstructive jaundice after operation. PURPOSE:This clinical trial was designed to lower the incidence and mortality of operation complications in patients with obstructive jaundice .
NCT02370433 ↗ Use of Prokinetics During Inpatient Bowel Care for SCI Patients Unknown status James J. Peters Veterans Affairs Medical Center Phase 1 2012-12-01 Bowel care (BC) is a time-consuming and cumbersome activity of daily living for most individuals with SCI. Previous studies have reported that the average time to complete a BC routine is 45 minutes; 10-20% of SCI individuals report BC routines lasting for more than 1 hour. In past studies, the investigators have shown that a medication called neostigmine can increase bowel activity and thus, promote bowel movement. The investigators have successfully used this medication with traditional and novel methods of colonoscopic preparations, and have shown that it improves the quality of these preparations. In this study, we would like to test the applicability of this medication to bowel care routines. The investigators believe that the addition of this medication to the beginning of regular bowel regiments will significantly decrease the time and effort needed to complete BC, thus improving patient perception of their BC routines and quality of life. SCI individuals followed by the James J Peters VA Medical Center (JJPVAMC) SCI Medical Service are admitted on a routine basis for inpatient respite care, therapy, and/or annual physicals. Such inpatient stays typically range in duration from 1 week to 3 weeks, during which the patient undergo BC routines assisted by the inpatient care team. BC routines are typically performed every other day, or thrice weekly (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) in "Blue Rooms" located on the inpatient SCI wards (IE and ID). The bowel care routine, including duration of procedure, use of assistive medications or devices, and completeness of bowel care are documented in the patients' electronic medical chart (CPRS) by care providers. The investigators propose to perform the described protocol in individuals who have been admitted to the hospital for routine care and are otherwise healthy. In doing so, the investigators can ensure that patients are vigilantly monitored during each BC session, and that any changes in BC pattern are accurately observed and documented. Furthermore, by performing these procedures on an inpatient basis, study investigators can ensure the consistency of care and daily routine, allowing for better control of study conditions.

Neostigmine Methylsulfate Injection: Clinical Trials, Market Analysis, and Projections

Last updated: January 7, 2025

Introduction to Neostigmine Methylsulfate Injection

Neostigmine methylsulfate is a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor used primarily in clinical settings to reverse the effects of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) after surgery. It works by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, allowing acetylcholine to accumulate and stimulate skeletal muscle[2][4][5].

Clinical Trials and Safety Profile

Clinical Trials Experience

The clinical trials for neostigmine methylsulfate have been conducted under various conditions, and the adverse reaction rates observed cannot be directly compared to those of other drugs. However, quantitative adverse event data from trials involving 200 adult patients have been documented. These trials indicate that adverse reactions are often due to exaggerated pharmacological effects, particularly at muscarinic receptor sites. Common adverse reactions include those that can be mitigated by the use of anticholinergic agents like atropine sulfate or glycopyrrolate[4].

Recent Developments: Fixed Dose Combination

A recent development involves the approval of a fixed dose combination of neostigmine methylsulfate and glycopyrrolate. This combination, submitted under NDA 216903, aims to provide a convenient and streamlined option for clinicians to reverse NMBAs. The FDA review highlighted several benefits, including reduced administration steps, familiarity for anesthesia providers, and adequate risk mitigation for potential adverse effects such as bradycardia. This combination relies on previous findings of safety and effectiveness for the individual drugs and does not require new clinical efficacy studies[1].
