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.

Main Inclusion Criteria: 1. Female or male pediatric patient aged from birth to 23 months of age inclusive (term neonates for all age groups or preterm infants after the neonatal period for groups 1 or 2). The neonatal period for preterm newborns is defined as the day of birth through the expected date of delivery plus 27 days. Term is defined as ≥37 completed weeks of amenorrhea, 2. Patient with known or highly suspected abnormalities/ lesion(s), scheduled to undergo contrast-enhanced MRI of any body region including CNS \[...\] Main Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patient planned for treatment or procedure (e.g. surgery) that would prevent from obtaining the required blood samples or performing other trial procedures between the screening visit and up to one day after gadopiclenol administration, 2. Patient undergoing treatment or procedure (e.g., diuretics, clinically significant blood loss or blood transfusion) preceding or subsequent to gadopiclenol administration that would alter gadopiclenol pharmacokinetic parameters, 3. Patient with acute or chronic renal insufficiency defined as estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) out of age-adjusted normal value calculated based on bedside Schwartz equation, \[...\] 9\. Patient undergoing a change in chemotherapy (product or dosage) within one day prior to or one day after gadopiclenol administration, 10. Patient who received or will receive any other contrast agent for CT and/or MRI within one week prior to or one week after gadopiclenol administration, 11. Patient with contraindication for MRI such as iron metal implants (e.g., aneurysm clips, pacemaker), 12. Patient with history of anaphylactoid or anaphylactic reaction to any allergen including drugs and contrast agents \[...\]
