Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Brain Tumor
Interventions
Drug: Arm 2 - Magnevist
Drug: Multihance
Registration Number

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Global Diagnostic Preference Between the Two ExamsPostdose Images for MultiHance Exam and for Magnevist Exam Compared

Assessed by 3 blinded Readers for each of the 41 patients who had both MultiHance and Magnevist post dose MRI exam to assess whether the image with MultiHance was preferred, both contrast agents were equal, or the image with Magnevist was preferred. Each patient's image was reviewed by 3 readers.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Lesion Contrast Enhancement Between the Two ExamsPostdose Images for MultiHance Exam and for Magnevist Exam Compared

Assessed by 3 blinded Readers for each of the 41 patients who had both MultiHance and Magnevist post dose MRI exam to assess whether the image with MultiHance was preferred, both contrast agents were equal, or the image with Magnevist was preferred.

Lesion-to-brain Ratio (LBR) for Each Lesion - Reader 1Predose and immediately postdose

Change from predose to postdose in lesion-to-brain ratio computed. Comparison of the differences in change were analyzed.

Lesion-to-brain Ratio (LBR) for Each Lesion - Reader 2Predose and immediately postdose

Change from predose to postdose in lesion-to-brain ratio computed. Comparison of the differences in change were analyzed.

Contrast-to-noise Ratio (CNR) for Each Lesion - Reader 1Predose and immediately postdose

Change from predose to postdose in contrast-to-noise ratio computed. Comparison of the differences in change were analyzed.

Contrast-to-noise Ratio (CNR) for Each Lesion - Reader 3Predose and immediately postdose

Change from predose to postdose in contrast-to-noise ratio computed. Comparison of the differences in change were analyzed.

Lesion-to-brain Ratio (LBR) for Each Lesion - Reader 3Predose and immediately postdose

Change from predose to postdose in lesion-to-brain ratio computed. Comparison of the differences in change were analyzed.

Lesion Border DelineationPostdose Images for MultiHance Exam and for Magnevist Exam Compared

Assessed by 3 blinded Readers for each of the 41 patients who had both MultiHance and Magnevist post dose MRI exam to assess whether the image with MultiHance was preferred, both contrast agents were equal, or the image with Magnevist was preferred.

Contrast-to-noise Ratio (CNR) for Each Lesion - Reader 2Predose and immediately postdose

Change from predose to postdose in contrast-to-noise ratio computed. Comparison of the differences in change were analyzed.

Percentage of Lesion Contrast Enhancement (LCE) - Reader 1Postdose

Quantitative parameter derived from signal intensity (SI) measurements. LCE (\[SI of lesion (postdose)-SI of lesion (predose)\]/Standard SI of lesion (predose)\]

Percentage of Contrast Enhancement of the Lesion - Reader 2Postdose

Quantitative parameter derived from signal intensity (SI) measurements. LCE (\[SI of lesion (postdose)-SI of lesion (predose)\]/Standard SI of lesion (predose)\]

Percentage of Contrast Enhancement of the Lesion - Reader 3Postdose

Quantitative parameter derived from signal intensity (SI) measurements. LCE (\[SI of lesion (postdose)-SI of lesion (predose)\]/Standard SI of lesion (predose)\]
