visit and up to 24 hours after DOTAREM injection
•Subject whose preceding or subsequent treatment to DOTAREM
injection (e.g., blood loss or receiving blood, treatment with diuretics,

that would prevent obtaining the required blood samples (e.g.,
emergency surgery, etc…)

hours prior to DOTAREM injection or up to 24 hours after DOTAREM
injection
•Subject with contraindication for MRI such as iron metal implants (e.g.
aneurysm clips)
•Subject with history of anaphylactoid or anaphylactic reaction to any
allergen including drugs and contrast agents
•Subject who received or will receive any investigational product within 7 days before DOTAREM injection or during study participation

would prevent the subject from participating in all study assessments
and visits |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
DOTAREM pharmacokinetics in plasma:
•The start of administration is set as time point 0 (T0), and blood
samples will be collected during three time windows as 10 to 60 min, 2.0
to 4.0 hours and 6.0 to 8.0 hours post-injection, at time points which are
allocated by randomization.
•DOTAREM concentrations in plasma will be analyzed using a validated
LC-MS-MS method.
•The following pharmacokinetic parameters from plasma samples will be
determined from typical and individual DOTAREM concentration-time
profiles: AUC, β, t½β, ClT, Vd. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The start of administration is set as time point 0 (T0), and blood samples
will be collected during three time windows as 10 to 60 min, 2.0 to 4.0
hours and 6.0 to 8.0 hours post-injection |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Clinical and biological safety:
•Height and weight at screening visit
•Vital signs (blood pressure and heart rate) at several time
points/intervals (at baseline (prior to injection), post injection
immediately after MRI, between 2 and 4 hours and at 24 ± 4 hours)
•Blood samples for safety laboratory variables centrally analyzed
(biochemistry and hematology) at screening and post injection at 24 ± 4
hours
•Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) centrally analyzed at screening and post
injection at 24 ± 4 hours
•Urine samples for safety assessment (urinalysis with dipstick) at
screening and post injection at 24 ± 4 hours
•Tolerance at the injection site over 24 ± 4 hours after injection.
•Adverse events will be monitored from the beginning of subject's
participation in the study (ICF signature) to the end of a 7 ± 1 day
follow-up period.
DOTAREM-MRI efficacy evaluation in brain (intracranial), spine and
associated tissues (pre and post contrast assessment):
•Lesion visualization: lesions will be assessed by on-site radiologist
using a 3-point scale for 3 co-endpoints (lesion border delineation,
internal morphology and contrast enhancement).
•Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR) and Pre-Post
Contrast Variation (ΔCNR) will be computed.
•Quality of images will be assessed using a 3 graded scale. |
