Study summary

The main purpose of this study is to collect data on the way gadobutrol is taken into, moves around, and is eliminated from, the body of children aged 0 to less than 2 years. The study will also evaluate safety and tolerability, and efficacy of gadobutrol.

A maximum total amount of approximately 5 ml of blood will be needed for these analyses which will be drawn within 2-3 days.

Gadobutrol is a contrast agent used for enhancement of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), potentially allowing better visibility of tissues in the body. Children aged under 2 years scheduled for a routine contrast-enhanced MRI examination of any body region may take part in this study, in which case they will receive gadobutrol as contrast agent intravenously at the standard dose of 0.1 mmol/kg (0.1 ml/Kg) of body weight. Only subjects without renal insufficiency of any intensity (i.e. estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate \<80% of age adjusted normal value calculated based on the Schwartz formula) will be included in the trial.

The duration of this study as a whole is around 1 year and the total number of children to be enrolled is 50. A child will be expected to take part in the study for around 7 days.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) From Time 0 to Infinity of Gadobutrol: Individual

    AUC is a measure of systemic drug exposure, which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample. AUC from time 0 (start of injection) to infinity was reported in micromole\*hour per liter (micromole\*h/L).

    Time frame: Blood samples were collected at 3 timepoints between 15 minutes and 8 hours post administration of gadobutrol

  2. Body Weight-Normalized Total Body Clearance (CL) of Gadobutrol From Plasma: Individual

    Clearance is the volume of the fluid presented to the eliminating organ that is effectively completely cleared of drug per unit time and depends on the rate of elimination. CL of gadobutrol normalized for body weight, was reported in Liter per hour per kilogram (L/(h\*kg).

    Time frame: Blood samples were collected at 3 timepoints between 15 minutes and 8 hours post administration of gadobutrol

  3. Body Weight-Normalized Apparent Volume of Distribution at Steady State (Vss) of Gadobutrol in Plasma: Individual

    Vss is an estimate of drug distribution independent of the elimination process and is proportional to the amount of drug in the body versus the drug plasma concentration at steady-state.

    Time frame: Blood samples were collected at 3 timepoints between 15 minutes and 8 hours post administration of gadobutrol

  4. Mean Residence Time (MRT) of Gadobutrol in Plasma: Individual

    MRT is the average time that the molecules introduced into the body stay in the body. MRT of Gadobutrol is expressed in hours.

    Time frame: Blood samples were collected at 3 timepoints between 15 minutes and 8 hours post administration of gadobutrol

  5. Terminal Elimination Half-Life (t1/2) of Gadobutrol From Plasma: Individual

    Half-life refers to the elimination of the drug, that is, the time it takes for the blood plasma concentration to reach half the concentration. Terminal elimination half-life of gadobutrol from plasma is expressed in hours and is derived from the terminal slope of the concentration versus time curve.

    Time frame: Blood samples were collected at 3 timepoints between 15 minutes and 8 hours post administration of gadobutrol

  6. Simulation of Plasma Concentration of Gadobutrol at 20 Minutes Post-Injection (C20)

    Simulation is the use of the model to predict data other than observed data, in this case early Gadobutrol plasma concentration after intravenous injection. Plasma concentration serves as a surrogate for efficacy (signal and contrast enhancement) in MRI. C20 was simulated for virtual pediatric subjects with homogenous distribution over age. Simulated median (5th and 95th percentile in parenthesis) gadolinium plasma concentrations for a dose of 0.1 mmol/kg body weight were presented.

    Time frame: 20 minutes post-injection

  7. Simulation of Plasma Concentration of Gadobutrol at 30 Minutes Post-Injection (C30)

    Simulation is the use of the model to predict data other than observed data, in this case early Gadobutrol plasma concentration after intravenous injection. Plasma concentration serves as a surrogate for efficacy (signal and contrast enhancement) in MRI. C30 was simulated for virtual pediatric subjects with homogenous distribution over age. Simulated median (5th and 95th percentile in parenthesis) gadolinium plasma concentrations for a dose of 0.1 mmol/kg body weight were presented.

If Scr was measured by an enzymatic creatinine method that had been calibrated to be traceable to Isotope dilution mass spectroscopy (IDMS), the updated Schwartz formula was used: eGFR = 0.413\*height/Scr.

    Time frame: Before gadobutrol injection

Other outcomes

  1. Number of Subjects With Drug Related Serious and Non- Serious Adverse Events

    An Adverse Event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study drug. A Serious AE (SAE) was an AE resulting in death, initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, life-threatening experience, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly, or deemed significant for any other reason. The drug-relatedness of AEs was determined by the Investigator based on his/her clinical decision based on all available information, and was based on the question whether there was a "reasonable causal relationship" to the study treatment.

    Time frame: From baseline to approximately 7 days after injection

SecondaryNumber of Subjects by Overall Contrast Quality

A qualitative assessment of the overall contrast using the following pre-defined 5-point scale: 1= None (for example, in case of a non-enhancing vessel), 2= Poor, 3= Moderate, 4= Good, 5= Excellent, was done. This parameter was assessed in the postcontrast MRI only, which is evaluated together with the unenhanced, this is why it is called combined. Data for combined MRI set was reported.

SecondaryEstimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Prior to Gadobutrol Injection

eGFR was calculated based on the Schwartz formula with blood sampling for serum creatinine (Scr) not exceeding 14 days prior to gadobutrol injection. Otherwise, the eGFR was obtained from the original Schwartz formula: eGFR = k \* height / Scr where k = 0.45 in term newborn infants \< 1 year of age, and k = 0.55 in children up to 13 years of age. If Scr was measured by an enzymatic creatinine method that had been calibrated to be traceable to Isotope dilution mass spectroscopy (IDMS), the updated Schwartz formula was used: eGFR = 0.413\*height/Scr.

Other pre-specifiedNumber of Subjects With Drug Related Serious and Non- Serious Adverse Events

An Adverse Event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study drug. A Serious AE (SAE) was an AE resulting in death, initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, life-threatening experience, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly, or deemed significant for any other reason. The drug-relatedness of AEs was determined by the Investigator based on his/her clinical decision based on all available information, and was based on the question whether there was a "reasonable causal relationship" to the study treatment.
