  • Patients who have any contraindication to MRI examination.
  • Patients who have received any contrast material in the 24 hours prior to SH U 555 A injection, or who are scheduled to receive any contrast material within 24 hours afterwards. (In the case of any liver specific agent (e.g. MnDPDP, SPIOs, Gd-BOPTA) this will be extended to 14 days prior to the study).
  • Patients who have received Lipiodol contrast material at any time in the past or are scheduled to receive this during the study period.
  • Patients who are clinically unstable and whose clinical course during the observation period is unpredictable (e.g. due to previous surgery).
  • Patients scheduled for liver biopsy within 24 hours, or who had a biopsy within the 24 hours prior to planned SH U 555 A injection.
  • Patients who are scheduled for, or are likely to require, surgery within 24 hours after SH U 555 A injection.
  • Patients with a history of anaphylactoid or anaphylactic reaction to any allergen including drugs and contrast agents.
  • Patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of SH U 555 A.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Phase III b Clinical Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Unenhanced and SH U 555A (Resovist) Enhanced MRI, Compared to Contrast-Enhanced Dual-Phase Spiral CT in Assessing the Correct Final Therapy-Deciding Diagnosis, in Patients With Primary or Secondary Hepatic Malignancies.

Patients with suspicion of primary or secondary hepatic malignancy in whom a radiological examination is needed in order to decide on the most appropriate treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To assess the proportion of correct final, therapy deciding diagnosis based on unenhanced plus SH U 555 A enhanced MR imaging compared to contrast-enhanced dual-phase spiral CT.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. To assess the number, size , location and character of liver lesions.

  2. To assess the diagnostic confidence of MRI and CT.

  3. To assess the proportion of changed therapeutical decisions.

  4. To assess sensitivity and specificity of MRI and CT.

  5. To assess safety and tolerability of SH U 555 A administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Resovist (BAY86-4884, SH U 555 A) in people with Hepatic Neoplasms, run by Bayer at 19 sites in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To assess the proportion of correct final, therapy deciding diagnosis based on unenhanced plus SH U 555 A enhanced MR imaging compared to contrast-enhanced dual-phase spiral CT.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 May 2009.
