Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is for individuals with decreased kidney function whose doctor has ordered Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Because kidney function is decreased, these patients usually do not receive the intravenous contrast material that can improve the accuracy of the MRI findings. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and benefit of using a contrast material called Gadoterate in patients with decreased kidney function.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Gadolinium-based intravenous contrast agents are widely used for the enhancement of MRI findings. However, these agents have been implicated in varying degrees of nephrotoxicity and therefore are not usually used in patients with renal dysfunction. Gadoterate is a Gadolinium agent and previous studies have indicated that it is safe in patients with decreased kidney function. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using Gadoterate in this patient population.

Participants who have been scheduled for an MRI will choose to either receive Gadoterate contrast as part of their MRI or not receive Gadoterate as part of their MRI.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Gadoterate

Patients who choose to receive Gadoterate will receive an MRI exam with standard pre-contrast and Gadoterate-enhanced acquisitions (0.2 mL/kg). The MRI protocol utilized in the study will be comprised of the standard Body protocols (routine abdomen, liver-pancreas, renal, prostate, angiography) as well as the standard Neurologic exam protocols (routine brain, orbital, brainstem, neck, angiography).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Gadoterate

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients who choose to receive Gadoterate will receive an MRI exam with standard pre-contrast and Gadoterate-enhanced acquisitions (0.2 mL/kg). The MRI protocol utilized in the study will be comprised of the standard Body protocols (routine abdomen, liver-pancreas, renal, prostate, angiography) as well as the standard Neurologic exam protocols (routine brain, orbital, brainstem, neck, angiography).

No Gadoterate

Patients who choose not to receive Gadoterate will receive an MRI exam with no Gadolinium contrast. MRI protocols utilized in the study will be comprised of the standard Body protocols (routine abdomen, liver-pancreas, renal, prostate, angiography) as well as the standard Neurologic exam protocols (routine brain, orbital, brainstem, neck, angiography).

Group Type OTHER

No Gadoterate

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients who choose not to receive Gadoterate will receive an MRI exam with no Gadolinium contrast. The MRI protocol utilized in the study will be comprised of the standard Body protocols (routine abdomen, liver-pancreas, renal, prostate, angiography) as well as the standard Neurologic exam protocols (routine brain, orbital, brainstem, neck, angiography).
