Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy Evaluation of Dotarem®-Enhanced MRI Compared to Gadovist®/Gadavist®-Enhanced MRI in the Diagnosis of Brain Tumors (NCT NCT02034708)

NCT ID: NCT02034708

Last Updated: 2016-12-30

Results Overview

Overall lesion visualization and characterization, based on assessment of the primary or largest lesion if there is more than one lesion present, was assessed by 3 independent off-site readers on a 4-point scale: 0\. Poor: does not allow adequate visualization and characterization of the lesion; 1. Fair: allows partial visualization and characterization of the lesion ; 2. Good: allows adequate visualization and characterization of the lesion; 3. Excellent: allows excellent visualization and characterization of the lesion.

Participant Flow

Adult patients with known or highly suspected primary intracranial tumors and scheduled for a Dotarem®-enhanced MRI were recruited in 27 active centers in 4 countries (Colombia, South Korea, Mexico and United States) from June 2014 to September 2015.

279 patients signed an informed consent for the study and therefore were considered as included. From these 279 patients, 11 did not receive any injection : 4 for consent withdrawn, 3 for deviation from plan specified in the protocol, 2 for adverse events, 1 at the investigator's discretion and 1 for other reason.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 15 days after randomization

Population: Patients with at least one valid assessment of the primary outcome and without major protocol deviation

Overall lesion visualization and characterization, based on assessment of the primary or largest lesion if there is more than one lesion present, was assessed by 3 independent off-site readers on a 4-point scale: 0\. Poor: does not allow adequate visualization and characterization of the lesion; 1. Fair: allows partial visualization and characterization of the lesion ; 2. Good: allows adequate visualization and characterization of the lesion; 3. Excellent: allows excellent visualization and characterization of the lesion.
