Trial summary

Purpose of the study is to look at the safety (what are the side effects) and efficacy (how well does it work) of gadobutrol when used for taking images of the brain and spine. The results of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) will be compared to the results of images taken without contrast (gadobutrol). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-label, Phase III Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of Gadobutrol 1.0 Molar in Japanese Subjects Referred for Contrast-enhanced MRI of the Central Nervous System (CNS)

The results of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) will be compared to the results of images taken without contrast (gadobutrol).

What is being measured

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

  1. Scores for visualization parameter: degree of contrast enhancement

    Blinded readers evaluate contrast of at maximum 5 lesions and 4 normal brain structures in scans taken with and without injection of gadobutrol on a 4-point-scale.

    Measured: Day of gadobutrol injection (Day 0)

  2. Scores for visualization parameter: border delineation

    Blinded readers evaluate border delineation of at maximum 5 lesions and 4 normal brain structures in scans taken with and without injection of gadobutrol on a 4-point-scale.

    Measured: Day of gadobutrol injection (Day 0)

  3. Scores for visualization parameter: internal morphology

    Blinded readers evaluate internal morphology of at maximum 5 lesions and 4 normal structures in scans taken with and without gadobutrol on a 3-point-scale.

    Measured: Day of gadobutrol injection (Day 0)

  4. Number of detected lesions

    Blinded readers determine number of detected lesions in scans with and without gadobutrol.

    Measured: Day of gadobutrol injection (Day 0)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of exact match of the MRI diagnosis with the final clinical diagnosis

    An exact match is defined as identical diagnosis given by the blinded reader and the independent standard of truth committee.

    Measured: Day of gadobutrol injection (Day 0)

  2. Sensitivity and specificity to detect abnormal/normal brain tissue

    Blinded readers classify the brain tissue as normal or abnormal based on the MRI sets.

    Measured: Day of gadobutrol injection (Day 0)

  3. Sensitivity and specificity to detect malignant Central Nervous System(CNS) lesions

    Percentage to correctly detect presence and absence of malignant lesions which are derived from the MR diagnosis of readers when compared with the diagnosis of the independent standard of truth committee.

    Measured: Day of gadobutrol injection (Day 0)

  4. Number of participants with treatment emergent adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Measured: 3 days after injection (Day 3)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Gadobutrol (Gadovist, BAY86-4875) in people with Magnetic Resonance Imaging, run by Bayer at 15 sites in Japan.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 1 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Japan. 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?

Scores for visualization parameter: degree of contrast enhancement (time frame: Day of gadobutrol injection (Day 0)). The study lists 4 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 1 Oct 2014.
