Efficacy and Safety of Gadobutrol 1.0 Molar (Gadovist) for Breast MRI

Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Breast Cancer; Diagnostic Imaging
• Interventions: Drug: Gadobutrol (Gadavist, Gadovist, BAY86-4875)

• Registration Number: NCT01067976
• Lead Sponsor: Bayer

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to look at the efficacy (how does it work) and safety of gadobutrol when used for obtaining MR images of both breasts.Women with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer by mammogram (X-ray examination of the breasts) may benefit from MRI of the breasts as MRI may detect additional breast cancers.

Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: COMPLETED
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 446

Inclusion Criteria

• Recent histologically proven diagnosis of breast cancer after having obtained X-Ray Mammography (XRM) of both breasts (according to American College of Radiology [ACR] and performed no longer than 6 weeks prior to enrollment into the study) and has been referred for a contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Mammography (MRM) prior to surgery of the breast.

• If female, a digital XRM is required if any of the following criteria is met:

  1. patient is younger than 50 years;
  2. patient has heterogeneously or extremely dense breasts;
  3. is not post-menopausal (post-menopause defined as at least 12 months prior to inclusion without menstruation).

• If female of childbearing potential, MRM should be performed on the 7-14th day of the menstrual cycle.

• Has an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) value >/= 60 mL/min/1.73m^2 derived from a serum creatinine result within 2 weeks prior to study enrollment.

Exclusion Criteria

• Is a female patient who is pregnant or lactating
• Has any contraindication to the MRM examination (e.g. metal implants, phobia) or the use of gadolinium-containing contrast agents.
• Has received any contrast agent within 24 hours prior to the study MRM, or is scheduled to receive any contrast agent within 24 hours after the study MRM.
• Has severe cardiovascular disease (e.g., 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)).
• Has acute renal insufficiency of any severity due to hepato-renal syndrome or in the peri-operative liver transplantation period or who has acute or chronic moderate or severe renal insufficiency (glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73m^2).
• Has received chemotherapy or hormonal therapy for breast cancer within 6 months.
• Has received hormone replacement therapy within 4 weeks prior to study drug administration.
• Is scheduled or likely to require a surgery and/or biopsy in the time period up to 24 hours following study drug application
• Has prior excisional biopsy or breast surgery less than 6 months before enrollment and between XRM and study MRM

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Gadobutrol (Gadavist, BAY86-4875)	Gadobutrol (Gadavist, Gadovist, BAY86-4875)	Patients first received an unenhanced MRM, followed by a gadobutrol-enhanced MRM. Gadobutrol was administered at the standard dose of 0.1 mmol/kg bw \[0.1 ml/kg bw\] as an intravenous injection (i.v.) injection at a rate of 2 ml/sec. UMRM and CMRM image sets were evaluated in a randomized fashion. After the evaluation of the UMRM or CMRM the respective XRM was added and evaluated together with the UMRM images.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Difference for Sensitivity for Detection of Full Extent of Malignant Breast Disease Using CMRM vs UMRM Per Reader	Immediately before injection and after injection	For a single participant the sensitivity was defined as the proportion of malignant breast regions that were recognized by the clinical investigators and the 3 blinded readers using the respective imaging modality as malignant. Subsequently the sensitivity percentage was calculated based on the mean of the sensitivities across all participants. The difference was calculated as CMRM value minus UMRM value. For ease of expression, the following abbreviations will be used: Magnetic Resonance Mammography (MRM), Unenhanced MRM (UMRM), combined unenhanced and contrast (gadobutrol)-enhanced MRM (CMRM), X-ray mammography (XRM).
Sensitivity for Detection of Full Extent of Malignant Breast Disease Using CMRM vs UMRM Per Reader	Immediately before injection and after injection	For a single participant the sensitivity was defined as the proportion of malignant breast regions that were recognized by the clinical investigators and the 3 blinded readers using the respective imaging modality as malignant. Subsequently the sensitivity percentage was calculated based on the mean of the sensitivities across all participants.
Breast Level Specificity of CMRM for Non-malignant Breasts by Reader	Immediately before injection and after injection	A non-malignant breast was defined as false positive (FP), when the reader assessed at least one breast region as malignant. When all breast regions were assessed as non-malignant, the breast was defined as true negative (TN). Breast level specificity was first defined in participant as number of TN-breasts in participant divided by number of non-malignant breasts in participant. Subsequently the specificity percentage was calculated based on the mean of the specificities across all participants who contributed with at least one non-malignant breast.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Breast Level Specificity of CMRM Based on Malignant Breasts	Immediately before injection and after injection	A malignant breast was defined as false positive (FP), when the reader using the respective imaging modality assessed more breast regions as malignant as were present according to SoT. Otherwise the breast was assessed as true negative (TN). Specificity was then defined as TN/(TN+FP).
Percentage Difference of Participants Whose Index Cancers Were Detected Using CMRM vs UMRM, CMRM vs XRM, and CMRM vs CMRM+XRM	Immediately before injection and after injection	Index cancer is defined as the cancer confirmed by histology prior to inclusion which made the participants eligible for the study. The difference in percentage of participants was calculated as CMRM value minus UMRM value, CMRM value minus XRM value, CMRM value minus CMRM+XRM value respectively.
Percentage Difference of Participants Whose Additional Cancers Were Detected Using CMRM vs UMRM, CMRM vs XRM, and CMRM vs CMRM+XRM	Immediately before injection and after injection	Additional cancer was defined as cancer which was present according to SoT, but which was not defined as index cancer, i.e. was not known when the participant was enrolled into the study. The difference in percentage of participants was calculated as CMRM value minus UMRM value, CMRM value minus XRM value, CMRM value minus CMRM+XRM value respectively.
