Description of intervention(s) / exposure
An open-labelled plasma pharmacokinetic study examining the pharmacokinetics of a single bolus intravenous (IV) dose of sugammadex in women undergoing elective caesarean section under general anaesthesia at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital (RBWH). We will also determine the amount excreted in breastmilk.

Dosing of sugammadex will be as per manufacturers instructions and determined by train-of four assessment. At the completion of surgery, sugammadex will be administered for reversal at doses determined by the depth of neuromuscular block and according to the product information: 2 mg kg-1 for moderate neuromuscular block (defined by the appearance of two twitches on train of four) and 4 mg kg-1 for deep neuromuscular block (defined as the appearance of two twitches with post-tetanic count) dosed for total body weight. Following administration of sugammadex, a train of four ratio (TOFR) will be performed at 20 second intervals until a TOFR of >0.9 is observed. Sugammadex will be administered at the completion of surgery as per standard practice. A dedicated research nurse who will be present to facilitate sampling and to answer questions about the research and monitor adherence to the intervention.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 328457 0
Measurement of plasma sugammadex levels following administration
Timepoint [1] 328457 0
Sugammadex plasma concentration from time of bolus to 24 hours post sugammadex administration.
A baseline blood sample (t = 0 minutes) will be obtained prior to induction of anaesthesia and at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 minutes after dosing with sugammadex. A further sample will be taken at 6 hours post sugammadex administration with a final sample at 24 hours that will be taken during routine post caesarean section phlebotomy on day one post-operatively.
Secondary outcome [1] 399084 0
Measurement of sugammadex concentration in breastmilk following administation.
Timepoint [1] 399084 0
A sample of breast milk (0.2-0.4 mL) in a sterile syringe in the post anaesthetic care unit one hour following sugammadex administration.
A further 0.2-0.4 mL sample of breast milk will be collected at six hours post-operatively.
Secondary outcome [2] 400871 0
Urine clearance of sugammadex
Timepoint [2] 400871 0
Urine will be collected via the indwelling catheter from the time of sugammadex administration until 6 hours post sugammadex dose.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Pregnant women aged greater than or equal to 18 years and less than or equal to 50 years
Scheduled for elective caesarean section under general anaesthesia
Informed consent by patient to participate in study and to store specimens for immediate and future analysis.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
50 Years
Sex
Females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
¦ Known or suspected allergy to sugammadex (urticaria, anaphylaxis, other systemic consequences)
¦ Known or suspected allergy to rocuronium
¦ Renal impairment – serum creatinine > 70 µmol.L-1
¦ Patients with fulminant hepatic failure – confirmed by the presence of hepatic encephalopathy, coagulopathy in the presence of liver enzyme derangement or profound hypoglycaemia
¦ Patients receiving fusidic acid, toremifene and/or flucloxacillin, as these drugs have the potential to displace rocuronium from the sugammadex/rocuronium complex

Statistical methods / analysis
Plasma levels of sugammadex and rocuronium will be measured for each sample time point. Individual concentration-time curves for sugammadex will be created for each participant. The intended sample size is 15 participants. Population pharmacokinetic models will be developed from the samples obtained from the 15 individuals and from the collected data, using the modelling software PMetrics®. The pharmacometrics team at the UQ Centre for Clinical Research, will perform regression analysis to statistically validate these models, which can then be used to perform Monte Carlo dosing simulations with PMetrics®, which essentially creates a simulated patient population of 1000 patients based on the different pharmacokinetics in the included patients, to determine whether current dosing regimens achieve adequate drug concentrations, or which optimised dosing regimens should be trialled for efficacy in future studies.
