Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Safety and efficacy of gadobutrol 1.0 molar in Japanese subjects for CNS imaging

Trial purpose

Purpose of the study is to look at the safety (what are the side effects) and efficacy (how well does it work) of gadobutrol when used for taking images of the brain and spine. The results of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) will be compared to the results of images taken without contrast (gadobutrol).

Key Participants Requirements

Sex

Age

18 - N/A
  • - Subjects referred for a contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the central nervous system based on current clinical symptoms or results of a previous imaging procedure
  • - Subjects with any contraindication to the MRI examination
    - Subjects with severe renal disease to end stage renal disease
    - Subjects scheduled or are likely to require a biopsy or any interventional therapeutic procedure within 72 (±4) hours after the study MRI

Primary Outcome

  • Scores for visualization parameter: degree of contrast enhancement
    Blinded readers evaluate contrast of at maximum 5 lesions and 4 normal brain structures in scans taken with and without injection of gadobutrol on a 4-point-scale.

Secondary Outcome

  • Percentage of exact match of the MRI diagnosis with the final clinical diagnosis
    An exact match is defined as identical diagnosis given by the blinded reader and the independent standard of truth committee.

  • Sensitivity and specificity to detect abnormal/normal brain tissue
    Blinded readers classify the brain tissue as normal or abnormal based on the MRI sets.

  • Sensitivity and specificity to detect malignant Central Nervous System(CNS) lesions
    Percentage to correctly detect presence and absence of malignant lesions which are derived from the MR diagnosis of readers when compared with the diagnosis of the independent standard of truth committee.
