Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Sugammadex 2 mg/kg
Treatment: Drugs - Sugammadex 4 mg/kg
Treatment: Drugs - Neostigmine + Glycopyrrolate
Treatment: Drugs - Neostigmine + Atropine

Experimental: Part A. Sugammadex 2 mg/kg - Single intravenous (IV) bolus of sugammadex at 2 mg/kg

Experimental: Part A. Sugammadex 4 mg/kg - Single IV bolus of sugammadex at 4 mg/kg.

Experimental: Part B. Sugammadex 2 mg/kg - Single IV bolus of sugammadex at 2 mg/kg.

Experimental: Part B. Sugammadex 4 mg/kg - Single IV bolus of sugammadex at 4 mg/kg.

Active Comparator: Part B. Neostigmine - Single IV bolus containing neostigmine (50 µg/kg; up to 5 mg maximum dose) in combination with either glycopyrrolate (10 µg/kg) or atropine sulfate (20 µg/kg).


Treatment: Drugs: Sugammadex 2 mg/kg
For moderate NMB reversal, a single IV bolus of sugammadex (2 mg/kg) will be given after final dose of neuromuscular blocking agent (NMBA; rocuronium or vecuronium) and within 2 minutes of the reappearance of a second twitch (T2) in response to train-of-four (TOF) stimulations.

Treatment: Drugs: Sugammadex 4 mg/kg
For deep NMB reversal, a single IV bolus of sugammadex (4 mg/kg) will be given after final dose of NMBA (rocuronium or vecuronium) and within 2 minutes of detection of a target of 1 to 2 post-tetanic counts and no response to TOF stimulations (TOF=0).

Treatment: Drugs: Neostigmine + Glycopyrrolate
For moderate NMB reversal, a single i.v. bolus containing both neostigmine (50 µg/kg; up to 5 mg maximum dose) as well as glycopyrrolate (10 µg/kg) will be given after final dose of NMBA (rocuronium or vecuronium) and within 2 minutes of the reappearance of T2 in response to TOF stimulations.

Treatment: Drugs: Neostigmine + Atropine
For moderate NMB reversal, a single i.v. bolus containing both neostigmine (50 µg/kg; up to 5 mg maximum dose) as well as atropine (20 µg/kg) will be given after final dose of NMBA (rocuronium or vecuronium) and within 2 minutes of the reappearance of T2 in response to TOF stimulations.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Categorized as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Class 1, 2,

Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria

Summary
Brief summary
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of sugammadex
(MK-8616) for reversal of both moderate and deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) in pediatric
participants aged birth to <2 years. The primary hypothesis of this study is that sugammadex
is superior to neostigmine in reversing moderate NMB as measured by time to neuromuscular
recovery.
