About this study

Official title: Safety and Dialysability of Dotarem® in Dialysed Patients - Phase 1 Clinical Study

To evaluate the dialysability of Dotarem®, after an IV injection of 0.1 mmol/kg in patients with chronic renal failure who require hemodialysis treatment.

Read the detailed description

Ten adult patients suffering from end stage renal failure and requiring hemodialysis treatment for 3 times were enrolled. Patients received a single dose of Dotarem® at 0.1 mmol/kg before being submitted to hemodialysis to assess the dialysability of Dotarem® . After injection of Dotarem®, 3 sessions of hemodialysis were performed as follows:

The first hemodialysis session started between 1 to 2 h after the injection; The second hemodialysis session occurred 2 days (i.e., 48 ± 2 h) after the Dotarem® injection; The third hemodialysis session occurred 4 days (i.e., 96 ± 4 h) after the Dotarem® injection.

The decrease in serum Dotarem® concentration was assessed after each hemodialysis session. Safety assessments included adverse events (AEs), vital signs, injection-site tolerance, and laboratory assessments.Two safety follow-up visits were performed: one 3 weeks (± 2 days) and one 3 months (± 4 days) after the Dotarem® injection.

What participants receive

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

  • Dotarem® IV injection at 0.1 mmol/kgDrug

    Also called gadoterate meglumine, gadoteric acid

    Dotarem® was IV administered at a dose of 0.1 mmoL/kg (0.2 mL/kg).

What is being measured

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

  1. Dialysability of Dotarem® in Dialysed Patients

    To evaluate the decrease in seric concentration of gadolinium, after each hemodialysis session of patients injected with 0.1 mmol/kg of Dotarem® . The percent change of gadolinium concentration is calculated by estimating the amount of serum gadolinium before and after each hemodialysis session. Calculations are performed only for subjects with concentration above the lower limit of quantification (LLQ)

    Measured: Dotarem® dialysability assessed up to 4 days after Dotarem® administration

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety of Dotarem® in Dialysed Patients Evaluated by the Number of Patients Experiencing Adverse Events.

    To evaluate the biological and clinical safety of Dotarem® by assessing vital signs, biological parameters, injection-site tolerance, through a 4-day post injection follow-up, adverse events through a 3-week post injection period and serious adverse events through a 3-month post injection period.

    Measured: Safety assessed from patients inclusion until the last follow-up visit 3 months after Dotarem® administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dotarem® IV injection at 0.1 mmol/kg in people with End-stage Renal Failure, run by Guerbet at 1 site in Belgium.

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 7 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 8 Jul 2015. 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 Belgium. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 8 Jun 2015). 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?

Dialysability of Dotarem® in Dialysed Patients (time frame: Dotarem® dialysability assessed up to 4 days after Dotarem® administration). 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 8 Jul 2015.
