What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a new contrast agent called gadoquatrane in children from birth to under 18 years old who need a contrast-enhanced MRI. The goal is to see how the drug moves through the body and check its safety. Each child gets a single injection during their MRI, and researchers take blood samples and monitor for side effects over about a week.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
gadoquatrane, a new gadolinium-based contrast agent for MRI
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to safer MRI scans for children using a lower dose of gadolinium.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 study focused on safety and drug levels, not on how well the contrast works. It may not prove better images or fewer side effects than existing agents.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants from birth to \<18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form. * Participants who have a clinical indication to undergo a CE-MRI for any clinical condition in any body region and who can undergo study procedures as per Investigator judgement. * Participants can be male or female (according to their reproductive organs and functions assigned by chromosomal complement). * Female contraception and barriers as well as pregnancy testing is required as appropriate for the age and sexual activity of pediatric participants and as required by local regulations. * The legal guardian(s) is capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol. * When applicable by law for a participant, a legal guardian must be available to help the study-site personnel ensure follow up, accompany the participant to the study site on each assessment day, and consistently and consecutively be available to provide information on the participant during the scheduled study visits. Exclusion Criteria: * Body weight \<2500 g at screening and baseline * The medical condition and/or local allowance for maximum blood draw in the pediatric participant is not suitable for study procedures, including pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety blood draws, without compromising any expected clinical care/procedure need. * Acute kidney injury (i.e., acute renal failure). * Age-adjusted renal function is "decreased" (eGFR \<80% of age adjusted normal renal function) as evaluated by the investigator based on a serum or plasma creatinine result obtained within 2 weeks prior to study intervention. * Considered clinically unstable or has a concurrent/concomitant condition that may not allow participation for the full planned study period, in the judgement of the investigator. * History of moderate to severe allergic-like reaction to any GBCA. * Bronchial asthma considered unstable or had major therapeutical modification within last 4 weeks. * Severe cardiovascular disease, except for cardiac or vascular magnetic resonance (MR), if considered clinically justified by the investigator. * Planned or expected intervention (e.g., treatment or procedure) or change in treatment (e.g. start of chemotherapy) that may significantly affect study parameters (i.e. safety/adverse events \[AEs\] \[e.g. confounding AEs or safety events due to surgery or chemotherapy\], PK parameters) or would prevent the participant from performing study procedures, from the administration of gadoquatrane up to the 24 h ± 4 h follow-up. * Participants who received or will receive any other contrast agent within 72 hours prior to gadoquatrane injection or up to 72 hours after gadoquatrane injection. * Contraindications to the administration of GBCAs (depending on local product label), or history of adverse reaction to GBCAs.
