Participant Flow

On 03 March 2022, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released Bracco from the Post-Marketing Requirement (PMR) commitment as the risk of thyroid dysfunction was adequately addressed by FDA's review of findings reported in currently available publications. Therefore, the study was terminated on 25 March 2022 with only 17 subjects enrolled and dosed.

Pediatric subjects (0-3 years of age) scheduled to undergo a routine radiologic procedure with intravascular administration of ISOVUE who had normal TFTs (serum TSH, T3, T4 \& fT4) at baseline were to be enrolled. TFTs were to be reassessed at 1 month and 2 months post-ISOVUE injection. If TSH values were abnormal at 1- or 2-months, follow-up (via pre-defined questionnaire) was required at 6 and 12 months to monitor subject's progress (if any). Efficacy of ISOVUE was not assessed.

1/17 • Number of events 1 • As this was an Observational Study, untoward medical occurrences (i.e., adverse events) were monitored through completion of the exam with administration of ISOVUE, up to 1 week for subjects dosed as part of their routine standard of care.
Subjects were monitored for any untoward medical occurrences from the time of signed Informed Consent through the timeframe associated with the investigational medicinal product administration. All untoward medical occurrences were recorded in the Adverse Event section of the CRF.
