Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if one CT contrast agent (medication injected into a vein; used in CT examinations to help produce clearer images) is safer to use than another. This study will compare the safety of two widely-used, U.S. FDA approved contrast agents, Isovue and Omnipaque. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients 18 years of age and older
  • Patients referred for a contrast-enhanced CT examination. Such contrast- enhanced CT examinations include, but are not limited to, certain examinations of the head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, etc.

Who cannot join

  • Patients less than age of 18 years of age
  • Pregnant patients
  • Patients unable to provide written informed consent
  • Patients in whom there are contraindications to the administration of intravenous contrast material (as detailed in out Department of Radiology intravenous contrast material use guidelines), including renal contraindications (such as a University of Michigan laboratory record of most recent serum creatinine concentration of >1.5 mg/dl or an estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR) <60 ml/min); if no serum creatinine is available, patients will be receive contrast material based on departmental guidelines
  • Patients who are undergoing therapy with agents purported to reduce the risk of CIN (such as acetylcysteine, theophylline, or intravenous hydration)
  • Patients who are unable to provide the follow-up serum creatinine concentration measurements
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Patients undergoing CT examinations that utilize a higher concentration of iodine (for example, 370 mg I/ml contrast material)
  • Patients who have experienced allergic-like reactions to contrast; including patients who receive corticosteroid/antihistamine premedication to reduce the risk of an acute allergic-like reaction
  • Patients who do not receive the study criterion for dose of contrast material; and patients in whom a contrast extravasation of more than 5 ml occurs (so that it is not possible to determine how much contrast material the patient received as a direct intravenous injection)
  • Patients participating in other investigational drug, contrast material, or device trials

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine if one CT contrast agent (medication injected into a vein; used in CT examinations to help produce clearer images) is safer to use than another. This study will compare the safety of two widely-used, U.S. FDA approved contrast agents, Isovue and Omnipaque. The investigators hypothesize that there is no significant difference in the rates of contrast-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN) between these agents when the overall population consists of low-risk patients.

Read the detailed description

For patients without known kidney disease, it is exceptionally rare for the administration of CT contrast agents to injure the kidneys, and those rare injuries that do occur are almost always temporary (a week or two) and heal. Indeed, significant injuries are so rare that the kidney function in patients is not routinely checked after they receive CT contrast agents. There are many brands of contrast media in common use across the United States, and it has been thought in the past that all are similarly low in risk. The purpose of this study is to examine whether two different contrast materials might differ in their risk to the kidneys. We will perform a direct comparison of Omnipaque-300 (iohexol, 300 mg I/ml) and Isovue-300 (Iopamidol, 300 mg I/ml) low osmolality contrast agents to determine their relative CIN rates (as measured by serum creatinine concentration) in low-risk patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Blood workProcedure or surgery

    Prior to having the clinically scheduled CT examination the subject will have blood work drawn. This blood work will give the investigators a baseline value of the basic kidney function of the subject. They will then have blood work done again at 2 days and again at 3 days following the CT examination. Some patients, based on their blood work obtained at 2 and 3 days after the CT examination, will be asked to have blood work performed at 7 days after their CT examination.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Isovue ArmExperimentalSubjects with a clinically scheduled CT examination will be given the contrast Isovue. The investigators of this study will determine which contrast medication subjects will receive using randomization.

Omnipaque ArmExperimentalSubjects with a clinically scheduled CT examination will be given the contrast Omnipaque. The investigators of this study will determine which contrast medication subjects will receive using randomization

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary outcome is the change in serum creatinine concentration from the baseline obtained immediately prior to contrast administration.

    Measured: 48 and 72 hours from the baseline exam

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. We will also identify the number of patients in each group who develop CIN. Two separate CIN definitions will be utilized, including a rise in serum creatinine of 0.5 mg/dl from baseline and a rise in serum creatinine of 25% or greater from baseline.

    Measured: 48 and 72 hours from the baseline exam

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood work in people with Kidney Disease, run by University of Michigan 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 2 inclusion and 10 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 13 Jun 2014. 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.

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?

The primary outcome is the change in serum creatinine concentration from the baseline obtained immediately prior to contrast administration. (time frame: 48 and 72 hours from the baseline exam). 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 13 Jun 2014.
