New MRI dye could make scans safer for kids

NCT ID NCT05915026

First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026

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.
