Trial Information

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Crossover, Phase 3 Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of Gadobutrol 1.0 Molar (Gadavist) in Patients Referred for Contrast-enhanced MRI of the Central Nervous System (CNS)


Issues on safety will be addressed in Adverse Events section.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Is at least 18 years of age

- Is referred for a contrast-enhanced MRI of the CNS based on current clinical symptoms
or results of a previous imaging procedure

- Has been fully informed about the study, including provisions of the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) as applicable, and has consented to
participate

Exclusion Criteria:

- Has any contraindication to the MRI examinations or the use of Gd-containing contrast
agents

- Has a history of severe allergic or anaphylactoid reaction to any allergen including
drugs and contrast agents

- Has severe cardiovascular disease (eg, known long QT syndrome, acute myocardial
infarction [< 14 days], unstable angina, congestive heart failure New York Heart
Association class IV) or acute stroke (< 48 hours)- Patients with acute renal
insufficiency of any severity due to hepato-renal syndrome or in the perioperative
liver transplantation period

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Diagnostic

Outcome Measure:

Scores for Three Visualization Parameters (Contrast Enhancement, Border Delineation and Internal Morphology) for Combined Unenhanced/Gadobutrol-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Compared to Unenhanced MRI by Blinded Reader 1 (BR1)

Outcome Description:

BR1 evaluated the images from the unenhanced MRI in one session and the images from the combined unenhanced and gadobutrol-enhanced MRIs in another. Contrast enhancement was scored on a 4-point scale where 1 = no enhancement and 4 = excellent enhancement. Border delineation was scored on a 4-point scale where 1 = no or unclear delineation and 4 = excellent delineation. Internal morphology was scored on a 3-point scale where 1 = poorly visible and 3 = sufficiently visible.

Outcome Time Frame:

Up to 2 hours after injection of gadobutrol

Safety Issue:

No
