| E.2 Objective of the trial |
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
| The primary objective is to assess the magnitude of potential risk with the administration of Gadovist in patients with moderate to severe renal impairment for the development of NSF, based on diagnostically specific clinical and histopathological information. |
|
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives are
• to assess the magnitude of the potential risk with the administration of Gadovist in patients with moderate and severe renal impairment for the development of cutaneous symptoms consistent with NSF, based on specific clinical information for patients in whom biopsy is not available
• to characterize patients with moderate and severe renal impairment regarding specific cytokine expression in serum to evaluate potential co-factors under discussion in the pathogenesis of NSF (at baseline)
• to evaluate the confidence of the investigator to make a diagnosis based on the Gadovist enhanced MRI and to qualitatively assess the image quality
• to evaluate the number and characteristics of adverse events reported in association with the administration of Gadovist.
|
|
| E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Patient must be scheduled for CE-MRI with Gadovist based on careful risk-benefit evaluation at the recommended dose(s) in one of the approved indications.
• Patient must fulfill criteria for moderate (eGFR 30 – 59 mL/min/1.73 m2) to severe (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) renal impairment.
• Patients on chronic dialysis (both hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) will be automatically assigned to the “severe” group and will not specifically require eGFR determination
• Patient must sign study-specific informed consent.
Patients are to be imaged according to the MR imaging protocols in the participating institutions, which include that physicians are to comply with the general precaution measures of MR imaging. |
|
| E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• GBCA-enhanced MRI (or administration of a GBCA for any other CE imaging procedure) other than Gadovist within 12 months prior to administration of Gadovist
• History of existing NSF
• Age less than 18 years
• Patients who are clinically unstable and whose clinical course is unpredictable
• Age outside the indicated age range mentioned in national labelling. (In countries where Gadovist is indicated for use in children, children are also eligible for inclusion according to national labelling). |
