November 25, 2013 updated by: Bayer

A Single-blind, Intra-individual, Crossover, Multicenter Study of the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Gadavist (1.0 M) in Comparison With Magnevist (0.5 M) as Contrast Agent in the Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) in Chinese Patients

The purpose of this study is to determine if the contrast agent is effective and safe in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of vascular diseases in patients of Chinese origin.

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Gadobutrol, then Gadopentate dimeglumine
Period 1: Participant received Gadobutrol 1.0 M (iv: intravenous injection), at a dose of 0.2 mL/kg BW, up to 0.3 mL/kg BW if 3 Fields of View (FOVs) to be imaged; Period 2: Participant received Gadopentate 0.5 M (iv), at a dose of 0.4 mL/kg BW, up to 0.6 mL/kg BW if 3 FOVs to be imaged
Participant received a single intravenous injection with Gadobutrol (1.0 M) at a volume of 0.2 mL/kg BW (dose = 0.2 mmol/kg BW) or up to 0.3 mL/kg BW when 3 Fields of View were imaged (up to dose = 0.3 mmol/kg BW)
Participant received a single intravenous injection with Gadopentate (0.5 M) at a volume of 0.4 mL/kg BW (dose = 0.2 mmol/kg BW) or up to 0.6 mL/kg BW when 3 Fields of View were imaged (up to dose = 0.3 mmol/kg BW)
Experimental: Gadopentate, dimeglumine then Gadobutrol
Period 1: Participant received Gadopentate 0.5 M (iv), at a dose of 0.4 mL/kg BW, up to 0.6 mL/kg BW if 3 FOVs to be imaged; Period 2: Participant received Gadobutrol 1.0 M (iv: intravenous injection), at a dose of 0.2 mL/kg BW, up to 0.3 mL/kg BW if 3 Fields of View (FOVs) to be imaged

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Vessel Segments Visualized With Diagnostic Quality
Time Frame: 20-30 seconds after injection
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.
20-30 seconds after injection

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Diagnostic Confidence From Pre- to Post-contrast MRA by Investigator
Time Frame: immediately before and 20-30 seconds after injection (precontrast and postcontrast)
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.
immediately before and 20-30 seconds after injection (precontrast and postcontrast)
Change in Diagnostic Confidence From Pre- to Post-contrast MRA by Blinded Reader 1
Time Frame: immediately before and 20-30 seconds after injection (precontrast and postcontrast)
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.
immediately before and 20-30 seconds after injection (precontrast and postcontrast)
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.

Change in Diagnostic Confidence From Pre- to Post-contrast MRA by Blinded Reader 3
Time Frame: immediately before and 20-30 seconds after injection (precontrast and postcontrast)
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.
immediately before and 20-30 seconds after injection (precontrast and postcontrast)
MRA Diagnosis by Investigators
Time Frame: 20-30 seconds after injection
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.
