Treatment and study plan

Gadobutrol (Gadavist, Gadovist, BAY86-4875)

Drug

Participant received a single intravenous injection with Gadobutrol (1.0 M) at a volume of 0.2 mL/kg BW (dose = 0.2 mmol/kg BW) or up to 0.3 mL/kg BW when 3 Fields of View were imaged (up to dose = 0.3 mmol/kg BW)

Gadopentate dimeglumine (Magnevist, BAY86-4882)

Drug

Participant received a single intravenous injection with Gadopentate (0.5 M) at a volume of 0.4 mL/kg BW (dose = 0.2 mmol/kg BW) or up to 0.6 mL/kg BW when 3 Fields of View were imaged (up to dose = 0.3 mmol/kg BW)

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Vessel Segments Visualized With Diagnostic Quality

    Time frame: 20-30 seconds after injection

    Each arterial segment visualized in magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) enhanced by Gadavist and Magnevist was characterized by the on-site investigators and by three independent blinded readers (reader 1, 2 and 3) according to a five-point scale (none/not assessable, poor, moderate, good, excellent), which takes into consideration intravascular contrast quality as well as vessel border delineation. The number of vessel segments with adequate diagnostic quality, i.e. good or excellent scores, was determined for each MRA image.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Diagnostic Confidence From Pre- to Post-contrast MRA by Investigator

    Time frame: immediately before and 20-30 seconds after injection (precontrast and postcontrast)

    The on-site investigators assessed the change in diagnostic confidence in the assessment of MRA scans before and after injection with Gadavist and Magnevist for each participant on a three-point scale as improved, unchanged or worsened.

  2. Change in Diagnostic Confidence From Pre- to Post-contrast MRA by Blinded Reader 1

    Time frame: immediately before and 20-30 seconds after injection (precontrast and postcontrast)

    Independent blinded reader 1 assessed the change in diagnostic confidence in the assessment of MRA scans before and after injection with Gadavist and Magnevist for each participant on a three-point scale as improved, unchanged or worsened.

  3. Change in Diagnostic Confidence From Pre- to Post-contrast MRA by Blinded Reader 2

    Time frame: immediately before and 20-30 seconds after injection (precontrast and postcontrast)

    Independent blinded reader 2 assessed the change in diagnostic confidence in the assessment of MRA scans before and after injection with Gadavist and Magnevist for each participant on a three-point scale as improved, unchanged or worsened.

  4. Change in Diagnostic Confidence From Pre- to Post-contrast MRA by Blinded Reader 3

    Time frame: immediately before and 20-30 seconds after injection (precontrast and postcontrast)

    Independent blinded reader 3 assessed the change in diagnostic confidence in the assessment of MRA scans before and after injection with Gadavist and Magnevist for each participant on a three-point scale as improved, unchanged or worsened.

  5. MRA Diagnosis by Investigators

    Time frame: 20-30 seconds after injection

    The MRA diagnosis describes the pathology with regard to the extent of a stenosis, i.e., normal (no relevant disease), advanced arteriosclerosis but stenosis <= 50% (exemption: internal carotid artery: stenosis <= 70%), advanced arteriosclerosis, stenosis >50% but <99% (stenosis 50-99%) (exemption: internal carotid artery >70%), occlusion, and not assessable.

  6. MRA Diagnosis by Blinded Reader 1

    Time frame: 20-30 seconds after injection

    The MRA diagnosis describes the pathology with regard to the extent of a stenosis, i.e., normal (no relevant disease), advanced arteriosclerosis but stenosis <= 50% (exemption: internal carotid artery: stenosis <= 70%), advanced arteriosclerosis, stenosis >50% but <99% (stenosis 50-99%) (exemption: internal carotid artery >70%), occlusion, and not assessable.

  7. MRA Diagnosis by Blinded Reader 2

    Time frame: 20-30 seconds after injection

    The MRA diagnosis describes the pathology with regard to the extent of a stenosis, i.e., normal (no relevant disease), advanced arteriosclerosis but stenosis <= 50% (exemption: internal carotid artery: stenosis <= 70%), advanced arteriosclerosis, stenosis >50% but <99% (stenosis 50-99%) (exemption: internal carotid artery >70%), occlusion, and not assessable.

  8. MRA Diagnosis by Blinded Reader 3

    Time frame: 20-30 seconds after injection

    The MRA diagnosis describes the pathology with regard to the extent of a stenosis, i.e., normal (no relevant disease), advanced arteriosclerosis but stenosis <= 50% (exemption: internal carotid artery: stenosis <= 70%), advanced arteriosclerosis, stenosis >50% but <99% (stenosis 50-99%) (exemption: internal carotid artery >70%), occlusion, and not assessable.
