New contrast agent shows promise for brain tumor MRI scans

NCT ID NCT06057168

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 completed Phase 3 trial tested whether Elucirem (gadopiclenol) provides better MRI images of brain gliomas compared to the standard contrast agent Dotarem. 138 adults with primary or recurrent brain tumors received one of the two agents during DSC-MRI perfusion scans. The main goal was to compare the quality of blood flow maps, rated as poor, fair, good, or excellent by independent readers.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Elucirem (gadopiclenol)
What this could lead to
If successful, Elucirem could become a better contrast agent for MRI scans of brain tumors, helping doctors see tumor blood flow more clearly.
What could go wrong
This is a completed Phase 3 trial, but it only compares image quality, not patient outcomes. The new agent may not be significantly better than the current standard.

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Female or male adult patient (patient having reached legal majority age). 2. Patient with naive or recurrent primary glial tumor detected at a previous Computed Tomography (CT) or MR imaging, and scheduled for a follow-up contrast-enhanced MRI. Tumor grade (confirmed or highly suspected) should be available in patients' medical records. 3. Patient or, if the patient is unable to provide informed consent, the patient's legally acceptable representative and/or impartial witness, having read the information and having provided patient's consent to participate in writing by dating and signing the informed consent prior to any trial related procedure being conducted. 4. Patient affiliated to national health insurance according to local regulatory requirements. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patient with known contra-indication(s) to the use or with known sensitivity to one of the products under investigation or to other Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents (GBCA) (such as hypersensitivity, post-contrast acute kidney injury). 2. Patient presenting with any contraindication to MRI examinations. 3. Post treatment patient presenting with pseudo-progression instead of tumor recurrency. 4. Patient presenting with severe renal insufficiency, defined as an estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m² assessed within 1 week prior to contrast agent injection. 5. Patient having received any contrast agent (for MRI or CT) within 3 days prior to IMP administration or scheduled to receive any contrast agent within 24 hours after IMP administration. 6. Pregnant female patient (a female patient of childbearing potential or with amenorrhea for less than 12 months must have a negative pregnancy test within 1 day prior to trial MRI and must be using medically approved contraception method until the last trial visit). 7. Patient having received any investigational medicinal product within 7 days prior to trial entry or scheduled to receive any investigational treatment in the course of the trial. 8. Patient previously randomized in this trial. 9. Patient with anticipated, current or past condition (medical, psychological, social or geographical) that would compromise the patient's safety or her/his ability to participate in the trial. 10. Patient unlikely to comply with the protocol, e.g., uncooperative attitude, inability to return for follow-up visits and/or unlikelihood of completing the trial. 11. Patient related to the investigator or any other trial staff or relative directly involved in the trial conduct.
