What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Vessel Segments Visualized With Diagnostic Quality

    Each arterial segment visualized in magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) enhanced by Gadavist and Magnevist was characterized by the on-site investigators and by three independent blinded readers (reader 1, 2 and 3) according to a five-point scale (none/not assessable, poor, moderate, good, excellent), which takes into consideration intravascular contrast quality as well as vessel border delineation. The number of vessel segments with adequate diagnostic quality, i.e. good or excellent scores, was determined for each MRA image.

    Time frame: 20-30 seconds after injection

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Diagnostic Confidence From Pre- to Post-contrast MRA by Investigator

    The on-site investigators assessed the change in diagnostic confidence in the assessment of MRA scans before and after injection with Gadavist and Magnevist for each participant on a three-point scale as improved, unchanged or worsened.

    Time frame: immediately before and 20-30 seconds after injection (precontrast and postcontrast)

  2. Change in Diagnostic Confidence From Pre- to Post-contrast MRA by Blinded Reader 1

    Independent blinded reader 1 assessed the change in diagnostic confidence in the assessment of MRA scans before and after injection with Gadavist and Magnevist for each participant on a three-point scale as improved, unchanged or worsened.

  3. Change in Diagnostic Confidence From Pre- to Post-contrast MRA by Blinded Reader 2

    Independent blinded reader 2 assessed the change in diagnostic confidence in the assessment of MRA scans before and after injection with Gadavist and Magnevist for each participant on a three-point scale as improved, unchanged or worsened.

    Time frame: immediately before and 20-30 seconds after injection (precontrast and postcontrast)

  4. Change in Diagnostic Confidence From Pre- to Post-contrast MRA by Blinded Reader 3

    Independent blinded reader 3 assessed the change in diagnostic confidence in the assessment of MRA scans before and after injection with Gadavist and Magnevist for each participant on a three-point scale as improved, unchanged or worsened.

    Time frame: immediately before and 20-30 seconds after injection (precontrast and postcontrast)

  5. MRA Diagnosis by Investigators

    The MRA diagnosis describes the pathology with regard to the extent of a stenosis, i.e., normal (no relevant disease), advanced arteriosclerosis but stenosis \<= 50% (exemption: internal carotid artery: stenosis \<= 70%), advanced arteriosclerosis, stenosis \>50% but \<99% (stenosis 50-99%) (exemption: internal carotid artery \>70%), occlusion, and not assessable.

The record gives a start of Oct 2006, a primary completion of Oct 2007 and a completion of Oct 2007. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 18, 2013, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
