About this study

Official title: A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study Evaluating the Long Term Retention of Gadolinium in Human Bone and Skin After the Retrospective Administration of MultiHance or ProHance in Comparison With a Control Group Receiving No Exposure to Gadolinium

Subjects must be scheduled to undergo an orthopedic surgical procedure. Subjects in the non-control group must have previously received an MRI with MultiHance or ProHance with at least 1 month between the last administration and the scheduled surgery. Subjects who have never received MultiHance or ProHance or any other gadolinium agent will also be enrolled. Subjects must have a test of their kidney function (SCr) at the time of the last MRI examination or at the time of enrollment if they never received gadolinium.

A sample of bone and skin will be collected from the scheduled surgery and tested for the amount of gadolinium. An additional sample of skin will be collected for testing the presence of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF).

Read the detailed description

Each subject enrolled will already be scheduled to undergo a hip, shoulder or knee replacement, limb amputations or other orthopedic surgical procedures and each subject enrolled in the non-control group will have retrospectively undergone one or more administrations of MultiHance or PROHANCE with the last dose administered at least 1 month before their scheduled surgery. In order to classify the subjects' renal status, the serum creatinine (SCr) value and/or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at the time of last MRI with MultiHance or ProHance must be available and collected. The control subjects' documented SCr values will be collected prior to enrollment in the study.

The bone and skin tissue sample(s) collected (during the subjects surgery) will be blinded to gadolinium based contrast agent (GBCA) exposure and sent to a central laboratory where they will be tested for gadolinium (Gd) and other analytes including calcium, phosphorous, sodium, iron, zinc, and potassium. The Gd deposition of the resected bone and skin tissue will be analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS). The bone and skin tissue will also be analyzed for other analytes using ICP-MS. These sample(s) will be stored at the central laboratory.

A separate sample of the skin tissue collected (during the subjects' surgery) will also be sent to a central dermatopathologist who will be blinded to GBCA exposure and test for any possible NSF related abnormalities. These skin tissue sample(s) will be stored with the central dermatopathology laboratory.

What is being measured

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

  1. Gadolinium deposition in bone and skin for non-control group

    Determine the long-term gadolinium deposition in bone tissue and skin in subjects undergoing orthopedic surgery using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) in nmol gadolinium/g from surgically removed bone and skin.

    Measured: At least one month from exposure to GBCA, assessed up to a total of 36 months

  2. Gadolinium deposition in bone and skin for control group

    Determine the long-term gadolinium deposition in bone tissue and skin in subjects undergoing orthopedic surgery using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) in nmol gadolinium/g from surgically removed bone and skin.

    Measured: At any time, due to no GBCA exposure, assessed up to a total of 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gadolinium Retention, run by Bracco Diagnostics, Inc 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 14 inclusion and 11 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 14 Aug 2020. 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?

Gadolinium deposition in bone and skin for non-control group (time frame: At least one month from exposure to GBCA, assessed up to a total of 36 months). The study lists 2 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 14 Aug 2020.
