Contrast medium

Study on the risk of allergy-like reactions after intra-arterial or intra-venous injection of the marketed X-ray contrast medium Iopromid

Trial purpose

Iopromide (trade name is Ultravist) is on the market for more than 30 years and has been used more than 250 million times as X-ray contrast medium for patients. It is known that Iopromide may cause allergy-like reactions after being injected. With this study researchers want to find out, if the risk of severe allergy-like reactions is lower, when Iopromide will be injected into an artery, compared to the risk after an injection of Iopromid into a vein. To find this out data from four trials on Iopromide that are already completed will be combined and newly analyzed. The database used for this analysis will contain data from more than 150,000 patients.
