About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy Evaluation of DOTAREM® in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Patients With Central Nervous System (CNS) Lesions.

The purpose of this study is to look at the safety (what are the side effects)and efficacy (how well does it work) of Dotarem® when used in taking images of the brain / spine. The results will be compared to the results of MRI taken without Dotarem.

Read the detailed description

This is a study involving the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contrast agents called Dotarem®. The purpose of this study is to look at the safety (what are the side effects) and efficacy (how well does it work) of Dotarem® when used for taking images of the brain and spine. The results of the MRI will be compared to the results of images taken without Dotarem®.

Being tested
Dotarem (gadoterate meglumine), Magnevist (gadopentetate dimeglumine)

What is being measured

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

  1. MRI Lesion Visualization (Border Delineation, Internal Morphology and Contrast Enhancement) at Patient Level for Both "Pre" and "Paired" Evaluation

    To demonstrate the superiority of combined unenhanced and Dotarem enhanced MRI (PAIRED) compared to unenhanced MRI (PRE) in terms of lesion visualization.

    Unenhanced MRI refers to MRI before administration of contrast agent. Enhanced MRI refers to MRI after contrast agent injection. "Pre" refers to unenhanced MRI. "PAIRED" refer to combined unenhanced and enhanced MRI.

    The measure used a specific scale with 3-point levels to assess lesion visualization. At lesion level, the scale range is from 0 through 1 to 2. Score 0 means a worse outcome and score 2 means a better outcome. Patient score is the sum of all lesion scores. Up to 5 of the largest representative lesions were assessed. At patient level, the maximum score is 10, minimum score is 0.

    Measured: up to 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Image Quality Score

    Image quality was evaluated for each lesion according to a 3-point scale with the following grades; poor (1), fair (2) or good (3), and an overall score per patient was calculated. At patient level, the maximum score is 3, minimum score is 1. Higher scores mean a better image quality.

    Measured: up to 24 hours

  2. Diagnostic Confidence Score

    Level of diagnostic confidence when evaluating the MRI modalities was graded using a 5-point scale as nil (1), poor (2), moderate (3), high (4) and excellent (5).

    Measured: up to 24 hours

  3. Number of Lesions

    The number of lesions for which observations could be made was calculated for each MRI modality and results are summarized per patient

    Measured: up to 24 hours
