About this study
Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Prospective Double-blind, Cross-over Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of 0.04 mmol Gd/kg Body Weight of Gadoquatrane for MRI in Adults With Known or Suspected Pathology of Any Body Region (Except CNS), Compared to 0.1 mmol Gd/kg Approved Macrocyclic Gadolinium-based Contrast Agents (GBCAs)
Researchers are looking for a better way to help people with any known or suspected problems (except brain or spinal cord-related problems) scheduled for a "contrast-enhanced" Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
MRI is used by doctors to create detailed images of the inside of the body to identify health problems. Sometimes doctors need to inject contrast agent into a patient's vein to perform a so called "contrast-enhanced" MRI (CE-MRI). Such CE-MRI examinations may support doctors to identify certain health problems or improve the evaluation.

The contrast agents commonly used in MRI are gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). GBCAs contain a "rare earth" element called gadolinium (Gd). Gadoquatrane is a new contrast agent under development with a lower amount of Gd needed per CE-MRI.
The main purpose of this study is to learn whether CE-MRI scans with gadoquatrane work better than MRI scans without the use of a contrast agent (GBCA). The researchers will compare the ability to detect known or suspected problems (except brain or spinal cord-related problems) with gadoquatrane-MRI scans to plain-MRI scans without the use of a contrast agent.
The participants will undergo 2 MRI scans, one with gadoquatrane and one with currently used GBCA. Both contrast agents will be injected into the vein.
Each participant will be in the study for between 6 and 42 days with up to 7 doctor visits.
At the start or during the study, the doctors and their study team will:
- take blood and urine samples
- do physical examinations
- check blood pressure and heart rate
- review the MRI scans obtained in the study and decide on the diagnosis
- ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having.
An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatments.
- Being tested
- Gadoquatrane (BAY1747846), Gadobutrol, Gadoterate meglumine, Gadoteridol

Sensitivity for the Detection of Lesions of Combined Pre- and Post-gadoquatrane MRI and Combined Pre- and Post-comparator MRI With Macrocyclic GBCAs, by a BICR
Sensitivity for the detection of lesions was evaluated by blinded independent central review (BICR) readers using combined pre- and post-contrast MRI image sets for gadoquatrane and comparator macrocyclic GBCAs. A lesion was defined as a localized, clinically relevant pathological change in a tissue due to injury or disease. In the context of imaging, it was defined as the localization of a pathology which might have been visualized on the MRI. The result from the BICR was then matched with the information from the composite Standard of Truth (cSoT). The cSoT was determined up to 4 weeks after second study related MRI based on the totality of the available clinical information by the referring physician.

Number of Cases With Concordance Between Final Diagnosis and MRI Diagnosis From Combined pre-and Post- Gadoquatrane MRI and Combined Pre- and Post- Comparator MRI With Macrocyclic GBCAs, as Assessed by the Investigator
The investigator or designee, who remained blinded to the contrast agent used in the image set, was asked for the diagnosis based on the combined pre- and post-contrast MRI image sets for each period, which was compared to the composite Standard of Truth (cSoT). The cSoT was determined up to 4 weeks after second study related MRI based on the totality of the available clinical information by the referring physician. Concordance between the MRI-based diagnosis and the final clinical diagnosis was evaluated, and the number of cases with matching and non-matching diagnoses was summarized.
Measured: Two MRI examinations with an interval of 3-14 days between them
Confidence in Diagnosis Combined Pre- and Post- Gadoquatrane MRI and Combined Pre- and Post-comparator MRI With Macrocyclic GBCAs by BICR and by Investigator
Confidence in diagnosis was assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) readers and the investigator to determine the level of certainty in the assigned diagnosis based on combined pre- and post-contrast MRI image sets for gadoquatrane and comparator macrocyclic GBCAs. Confidence was scored using a 4-point scale (1 = Not confident, 2 = Somewhat confident, 3 = Confident, 4 = Very confident), and mean scores with standard deviation are reported.
Measured: Two MRI examinations with an interval of 3-14 days between them
Number of Lesions Seen on Unenhanced MR Image Sets and Combined Pre- and Post-gadoquatrane MRI and Combined Pre- and Post-comparator MRI With Macrocyclic GBCAs, by a BICR

The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Researchers are looking for a better way to help people with any known or suspected problems (except brain or spinal cord-related problems) scheduled for a "contrast-enhanced" Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
MRI is used by doctors to create detailed images of the inside of the body to identify health problems. Sometimes doctors need to inject contrast agent into a patient's vein to perform a so called "contrast-enhanced" MRI (CE-MRI). Such CE-MRI examinations may support doctors to identify certain health problems or improve the evaluation.
The contrast agents commonly used in MRI are gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). GBCAs contain a "rare earth" element called gadolinium (Gd). Gadoquatrane is a new contrast agent under development with a lower amount of Gd needed per CE-MRI.
The main purpose of this study is to learn whether CE-MRI scans with gadoquatrane work better than MRI scans without the use of a contrast agent (GBCA). The researchers will compare the ability to detect known or suspected problems (except brain or spinal cord-related problems) with gadoquatrane-MRI scans to plain-MRI scans without the use of a contrast agent.
The participants will undergo 2 MRI scans, one with gadoquatrane and one with currently used GBCA. Both contrast agents will be injected into the vein.
Each participant will be in the study for between 6 and 42 days with up to 7 doctor visits.
At the start or during the study, the doctors and their study team will:
- take blood and urine samples
- do physical examinations
- check blood pressure and heart rate
- review the MRI scans obtained in the study and decide on the diagnosis
- ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having.
An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatments.
