    Measured: pre-dose to immediately postdose

  7. Lesion Contrast Enhancement (CE) (Change From Pre to Pre+Postdose) for Reader 1

    5-point scale (0=no lesion CE [lesion not identified in image, no contrast between lesion and surrounding normal brain/spine tissue]; 1=poor lesion CE [diff. in signal intensity (SI) poor, lesion barely identified, not possible to evaluate/measure size]; 2=moderate lesion CE [diff. in SI fair, lesion identified, not possible to evaluate/measure size]; 3=good lesion CE [diff. in SI adequate, lesion identified, size evaluated/measured]; 4=excellent lesion CE [diff. in SI marked, lesion identified, size measured]) paired assessment to compare the diff. between pre to pre+postdose

    Measured: pre-dose and immediately postdose

  8. Lesion Contrast Enhancement (CE) (Change From Pre to Pre+Postdose) for Reader 2

    5-point scale (0=no lesion CE [lesion not identified in image, no contrast between lesion and surrounding normal brain/spine tissue]; 1=poor lesion CE [diff. in signal intensity (SI) poor, lesion barely identified, not possible to evaluate/measure size]; 2=moderate lesion CE [diff. in SI fair, lesion identified, not possible to evaluate/measure size]; 3=good lesion CE [diff. in SI adequate, lesion identified, size evaluated/measured]; 4=excellent lesion CE [diff. in SI marked, lesion identified, size measured]) paired assessment to compare the diff. between pre to pre+postdose

    Measured: pre-dose to immediately postdose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing gadobenate dimeglumine in people with Central Nervous System Diseases, run by Bracco Diagnostics, Inc at 1 site in United States.

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 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Oct 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Delineation of Lesion Border (Change From Pre to Pre+Postdose) for Reader 1 (time frame: pre-dose and immediately postdose). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Oct 2010.
