Safer MRI scans for infants? new contrast agent studied in toddlers

NCT ID NCT05590884

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a contrast agent called gadopiclenol in 36 infants under 2 years old who needed an MRI. The goal was to see how the drug behaves in their bodies and check for safety. The children received a single injection before their MRI, and researchers measured drug levels in the blood. This is an early step toward confirming the drug works well in very young children.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Gadopiclenol (a contrast agent used to brighten MRI images)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that gadopiclenol is safe and effective for use in very young children, improving MRI diagnosis in this age group.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 36 children, so results may not apply to all infants. The drug is already approved for older children and adults, so major surprises are unlikely.
