Long-Term Retention of Gadolinium in Bone

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Focus: Long-term Retention of Gadolinium-based Contrast Agent
Interventions
Procedure: Gadolinium analysis in bone and tissue samples
Registration Number
NCT01853163
Lead Sponsor
Navitas Life Sciences GmbH
Brief Summary

The main objective was to prospectively explore the potential for long-term retention of Gadolinium (Gd) in bones in patients who have received a single dose of Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) or multiple doses of the same GBCA, with moderate or severe renal impairment or stable normal renal function (eGFR \> 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) at the time of GBCA injection.

Detailed Description

In order to collect additional clinical data this study was requested by the European Medicines Agency to further investigate whether Gd in human bone and skin are detectable for a long time after administration of GBCAs in patients with impaired renal function who had previously received any of the six different contrast agents (Gadobutrol, Gadodiamide, Gadopentetic acid, Gadoteric acid, Gadoversetamide, and Gadoxetic acid) within a magnetic resonance contrast imaging procedure and who are scheduled for an orthopaedic surgical procedure.

For this study the patients have not been administered any GBCA.

Participating sites are located in Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Turkey, USA, Japan, India and Republic of Korea.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Patient scheduled for an orthopaedic surgical procedure

  • A minimum of 1 month has elapsed between GBCA dose and scheduled orthopaedic surgical procedure

  • Patient belongs to one of the following subgroups with respect to the number of GBCA doses received and the status of their renal function:

    1. patient has stable impaired renal function (at least moderate impairment, eGFR ≤ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) and has received one GBCA injection at the standard dose (0.025 mmol per kg body weight for Gadoxetic acid and 0.1 mmol per kg body weight for all other agents) or
    2. patient has stable impaired renal function (at least moderate impairment, eGFR ≤ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) and has received more than one injection of the same GBCA or
    3. patient has stable normal renal function (eGFR > 60 ml/min /1.73 m2) and has received one GBCA injection at the standard dose (0.025 mmol per kg body weight for Gadoxetic acid and 0.1 mmol per kg body weight for all other agents) or
    4. patient has stable normal renal function (eGFR > 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) who have received more than one injection of the same GBCA

Main
