About this study

The purpose of this study is to prospectively compare the physiologic response of patients who receive either intravenous gadoxetic acid (Eovist) or intravenous gadobenate dimeglumine (MultiHance).

Read the detailed description

Contrast-enhanced hepatic MRI is an accepted method for detecting and characterizing liver lesions. Liver lesion characterization is fundamental for patient management, because lesions that meet specific imaging criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are assumed to be HCC without tissue confirmation. There are a variety of gadolinium-based contrast agents that are used for this purpose. Two of the more commonly utilized are gadoxetic acid (an hepatobiliary contrast agent that permits 20 minute hepatobiliary phase imaging) and gadobenate dimeglumine (a weak hepatobiliary contrast agent that functions generally as an extracellular contrast agent). A recent study by our group has shown that patients who receive intravenous gadoxetic acid are much more likely to experience transient dyspnea after contrast injection that causes them to breathe rapidly through the arterial phase of imaging, degrading image quality. In that study, subjective complaints of dyspnea and respiratory motion artifact on imaging were scored. The investigators did not assess patient physiologic response. The goal of the proposed work is to build on our prior data and to determine whether there are non-invasively measurable physiologic parameters that can support our original study. Specifically, the investigators want to determine whether there are predictable changes in SpO2, pulse, respiratory periodicity, and respiratory regularity that correlate with arterial phase image degradation and patients complains of dyspnea. Both contrast agents to be assessed in this study are FDA approved with at least 4 years of post-marketing experience documenting safety and efficacy. The investigators will not be changing or altering our clinical approach in any way as a part of this study.

What participants receive

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

  • MRI with MultihanceDrug

    Also called gadobenate dimeglumine

    Patients will have Multihance used as an IV contrast agent for their scan.

  • MRI with EovistDrug

    Also called Gadoxetate disodium

    Patients will have Eovist used as an IV contrast agent for their scan.

Study groups in NCT02226666
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients having MRI with EovistSubjects having a clinically ordered MRI with Eovist. Patients consenting for the study will be monitored before and after getting MRI contrast. For the study oxygen saturation (amount of oxygen level in the blood) and breathing will be monitored during the can. Breathing will be measured with a non-invasive respiratory monitoring device attached to the MR scanner. Each patient will answer survey questions after the scan about their experiences concerning MRI contrast.

What is being measured

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

  1. Survey

    Subjects fill out a short 5-question survey about their MRI experience directly following clinical MRI scan.

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Oxygen Levels

    We will monitor a subjects' oxygen levels by placing a small monitor on one of their fingers before and after the MRI; lasting approximately one minute each.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Respiratory Rate

    We will monitor a subjects' respiratory rate (how many times they breathe in a minute) during the clinical MRI scan.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Liver Tumor, 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 Jan 2017. 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?

Survey (time frame: Baseline). 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 Jan 2017.
