About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of Potential Effects of Repeated Gadolinium-based Contrast Agent (GBCA) Administrations of the Same GBCA on Motor and Cognitive Functions in Neurologically Normal Adults in Comparison to a Non-GBCA Exposed Control Group

This study is a postmarketing requirement jointly carried out by four NDA holders (Bayer AG, Bracco, GE Healthcare and Guerbet) and the CRO IQVIA.

The study aims to create detailed images of the organs and tissue of the human body during x-ray, CT-scan or MRI investigations, doctors are using contrast media (a kind of dye) which can be given to patients by injection into a blood vessel or by mouth.

Read more

In this study researchers want to find out whether so called gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) have an effect on body movement and mental skills when given to participants multiple times within 5 years.

The study plans to enroll about 2076 participants suffering from a condition for which they are likely to have at least annually a MRI or another imaging examinations. Only adults up to 65 years will be considered to join this study. During the study duration of 5 years participants will receive annually a MRI or other imaging tests (such as CT-scan, x-ray) and will visit the study doctor at least 7 times for physical examinations, laboratory investigations and tests on body movement and mental skills.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of the study is to assess the potential effect of repeated exposure to either a linear or a macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) on change from baseline to Year 5 in composite measure of motor and cognitive function among neurologically normal adults in comparison to a matched non-GBCA- exposed control group.

The secondary objectives comprise the assessment of the following endpoints in GBCA-exposed participants as compared to controls a) changes from baseline in composite measure of motor and cognitive function post-baseline on yearly basis (Years 1 to 4); b) changes from baseline in each individual test of motor and cognitive function on yearly basis (Years 1 to 5). Total Gd concentrations in blood and urine samples on yearly basis (Years 1 to 5) and adverse events will be collected as secondary objectives.

Of note : The study is considered interventional because of the addition of UE-MRI scans for all participants, as well as blood sampling and the administration of the motor and cognitive tests. The GBCA administered as part of the contrast-enhanced MR imaging in the experimental arms is not the intervention in this study. Neither the protocol nor the investigators assign patients to a specific GBCA as part of the study, making this part of the study observational rather than interventional. The participants were already scheduled, prior to study screening, to undergo CE-MRI as part of their clinical care. The choice of GBCA for the CE-MRI will be based on medical need and institutional usage of GBCA, independent of study participation.

Study groups in NCT04373564
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Linear GBCAsExperimentalAdult participants, who were scheduled for repeated enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), receive a linear gadoliniumbased contrast agent (GBCA, i.e. Eovist/ Primovist, MultiHance or Omniscan) prior to MRI. Each participant will receive the same GBCA throughout the study.
Receives: Procedure: Motor Tests; Procedure: Cognitive Tests; Procedure: Unenhanced-MRI of the brain; Procedure: Gadolinium Measurements; Drug: Gadoxetate disodium; Drug: Gadobenate dimeglumine; Drug: Gadodiamide
Macrocyclic GBCAsExperimentalAdult participants, who were scheduled for repeated enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), receive a macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA, i.e. Gadavist/ Gadovist, Dotarem, Magnescope or ProHance) prior to MRI. Each participant will receive the same GBCA throughout the study.
Receives: Procedure: Motor Tests; Procedure: Cognitive Tests; Procedure: Unenhanced-MRI of the brain; Procedure: Gadolinium Measurements; Drug: Gadoterate meglumine; Drug: Gadobutrol; Drug: Gadoteridol
No GBCA (Control arm)OtherAdult participants who were never exposed to any gadolinium-based contrast agent and matching the population characteristics of the two GBCA arms. They will not receive any gadolinium-based contrast agent over the study course, but may undergo clinically indicated imaging (e.g. unenhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), unenhanced or enhanced computed tomography, ultrasound and/or X-ray).
Receives: Procedure: Motor Tests; Procedure: Cognitive Tests; Procedure: Unenhanced-MRI of the brain; Procedure: Gadolinium Measurements

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of motor function from baseline to year 5 in comparison to a matched non-GBCA-exposed control group

    The endpoint is a composite z score, defined as the weighted sum of the z scores of the individual tests

    Measured: At baseline, year 5

  2. Change in cognitive function from baseline to year 5 in comparison to a matched non-GBCA-exposed control group

    The endpoint is a composite z score, defined as the weighted sum of the z scores of the individual tests

    Measured: At baseline, year 5

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change from baseline in the composite endpoints (motor and cognitive) at each of the post-baseline time points (Years 1 to 4) in GBCA-exposed participants as compared to controls.

    The endpoint is a composite z score, defined as the weighted sum of the z scores of the individual tests

    Measured: At baseline, years 1, 2, 3, 4

  2. Change from baseline for each of the individual tests (motor and cognitive) at each of the post-baseline time points (Years 1 to 5) in GBCA-exposed participants as compared to controls.

    The endpoint is a composite z score, defined as the weighted sum of the z scores of the individual tests

    Measured: At baseline, years 1, 2, 3, 4

  3. Number of participants with adverse events

    Measured: At baseline, years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

  4. Total Gd concentrations (as measured in a central laboratory) in blood and urine samples taken from exposed and control participants at the time of the annual visit

    Measured: At baseline, years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Motor Tests, Cognitive Tests and Unenhanced-MRI of the brain in people with Motor Function and Cognitive Function, run by Guerbet at 51 sites in 8 countries.

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 9 inclusion and 15 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 51 sites in United States, Brazil, South Korea, Russia, Italy and 3 more countries. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Nathalie LE FUR, PhD (+33649351166, nathalie.lefur@guerbet.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of motor function from baseline to year 5 in comparison to a matched non-GBCA-exposed control group (time frame: At baseline, year 5). 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 22 Jan 2026.
