Brief Summary

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

Study 22403 is a Phase 1 / Proof of Concept exploratory investigation to assess the non-inferiority of low dose gadobutrol and SubtleGAD™, a software medical device using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) deep learning-based method to enhance the contrast signal from images acquired with low dose administration of gadobutrol (GAD) contrast. The primary objective is to demonstrate noninferiority of synthesized Central Nervous System (CNS) magnetic resonance (MR) images for 1 or 2 different gadobutrol-enhanced low-dose groups (0.01mmol/kg, and0.025 mmol/kg) compared to gadobutrol-enhanced CNS MR images at a standard dose of 0.1 mmol/kg. This investigation is a prospective, randomized, open label, multi-center study with blinded reads in participants with known or highly suspected CNS pathology. There will be at least 60 participants enrolled (30 per study arm). SubtleGAD will be used as a post-processing tool, prior to blinded read assessment of MR images acquired in either arm of the study.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Two interventional groups: Group A: 0.01 mmol/kg GV, Group B: 0.025 mmol/kg GV. Both groups also receive GV standard dose (0.1 mmol/kg) that serves as the clinical image set for the participant and as comparator.
Primary Study Purpose

DIAGNOSTIC

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Study Groups

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

Group A (10% dose GV)

Each participant will receive a Standard dose gadobutrol (0.1 mmol/kg) in Period 1 and 10% dose gadobutrol (0.01 mmol/kg) in Period 2. During study Period 1, each participant will receive gadobutrol as a single intravenous (IV) administration at the standard dose for contrast-enhanced MRI followed by study Period 2 where a single IV low dose (10% dose) of gadobutrol will be administered. There will be a washout period of at least 72 hours but less than 15 days between the two periods. The individual study duration will therefore range from 4 to 15 days.

SubtleGAD

Intervention Type DEVICE

SubtleGAD is an image processing software developed to enhance MR images acquired with low dose gadobutrol.

Gadobutrol

Intervention Type DRUG

Gadavist is indicated for use with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in adult and pediatric patients including term neonates to detect and visualize areas with disrupted blood brain barrier and/or abnormal vascularity of the central nervous system.

Group B (25% dose GV)

Each participant will receive a Standard dose gadobutrol (0.1 mmol/kg) in Period 1 and Study Period 2: 25% dose gadobutrol (0.025 mmol/kg) in Period 2. During study Period 1, each participant will receive gadobutrol as a single intravenous (IV) administration at the standard dose for contrast-enhanced MRI followed by study Period 2 where a single IV low dose (25% dose) of gadobutrol will be administered. There will be a washout period of at least 72 hours but less than 15 days between the two periods. The individual study duration will therefore range from 4 to 15 days.

3. Brain pathology or abnormalities that are not considered lesions.
4. Any contraindication for MRI procedure or gadobutrol administration.
5. Has severe cardiovascular disease.
6. Is expected or is scheduled to have a change in any treatment or procedure between the two study periods that may alter image comparability.
7. Is scheduled or is likely to require a biopsy or any interventional therapeutic procedure from the first study MRI up to 24 hours after the second study MRI.
8. Women currently lactating, pregnant, or planning on becoming pregnant during the study.
