Cognitive Disturbance
Skin Hyperpigmentation

Registration Number
NCT02947022
Lead Sponsor
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Brief Summary

Purpose: There are two goals we have for this prospective single arm study; to see an increase in the amount of gadolinium in 24 hour urine collection following each infusion treatment with Calcium and Zinc DTPA, and to see a reduction or elimination of gadolinium deposition disease (GDD) symptoms.

Participants: Twenty (20) patients who are suffering from gadolinium deposition disease (GDD)

Procedures: Over a series of three (3) treatment time-points patients will be treated with IV Ca-DTPA on day one, and Zn-DTPA on day two.

Change From Baseline to Month 6 in the Pain ScoreBaseline, Month 6

Patient self-reported pain scores assessed using a VAS ranging from 0 to 10 where 0 indicates "no pain", 4 through 6 reflect "moderate pain", and 10 reflects "worst possible pain".

Change in ACPA QOL Score at Month 12Baseline, Month 12

The ACPA QOL is a self-administered questionnaire measuring functionality for people with pain which looks at the ability to function, rather than pain alone and is intended to measure activity levels. The ACPA QOL consists of 10 possibilities ranging from 0 to 10 where 0 represents "Non-functioning" and 10 represents "Normal Quality of Life".
