About this study

To examine the quality of liver images produced when the contrast agent Eovist is used during MRI.

Read the detailed description

Researchers will review data from the Eovist MRI and compare the scan with previous MRI exams the patient had with the same or other contrast agents.

To determine the efficacy of Eovist contrast agent in producing MRI images of the liver. We will monitor patients for any unusual symptoms (adverse events) when the contrast is given.

Patients are asked to hold their breath during an MRI scan. Eovist may interfere with the "breath hold" which could result in more breathing artifacts (based on a qualitative scale) on arterial images when the patients are given Eovist vs. other contrast agents.

What participants receive

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

  • Eovist ContrastProcedure or surgery

    Subjects will undergo an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan using the Eovist contrast agent. This MRI scan takes approximately 45minutes to 1 hour to complete.

  • Non Eovist ContrastProcedure or surgery

    Subjects will undergo an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan using a contrast agent other than Eovist. This MRI scan takes approximately 45minutes to 1 hour to complete.

Study groups in NCT02684526
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Eovist Contrast agentActive comparatorTo determine if Eovist contrast agent induces a transient abnormal sensation at first pass, which prevents patients from holding their breath at end of arterial phase liver MRI scans.
Receives: Procedure: Eovist Contrast
Non Eovist Contrast agentsActive comparatorTo determine if using non-Eovist contrast agents produce the same abnormal sensation at first pass, which prevents patients from holding their breath at end of arterial phase liver MRI scans. Determine if this event is exclusive to Eovist contrast.
Receives: Procedure: Non Eovist Contrast

What is being measured

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

  1. Scanning artifacts on MRI with Eovist

    To qualitatively assess and score MRI images during unenhanced and contrast-enhanced motion-sensitive sequences for breathing artifacts when Eovist contrast is used versus other contrast agents. Eovist enhanced MRI scans will be compared to previous MRI scans performed with other contrast agents on the same patient that included breath holding sequences. Breathing artifacts on both scans will be evaluated using a respiratory motion score between 1 and 5.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse events (including dyspnea)

    Number of patients complaining of adverse events after MRI contrast administration.

    Measured: 30 min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Eovist Contrast and Non Eovist Contrast in people with Liver 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 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 16 Dec 2016. 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?

Scanning artifacts on MRI with Eovist (time frame: 5 years). 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 16 Dec 2016.
