Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria:
•Pediatric subject aged <2 years (term newborn infants to toddlers 23
months of age inclusive). Term is defined as =37 weeks of amenorrhea
•Subject is scheduled to undergo routine gadolinium-enhanced MRI of
any body region (e.g. CNS, cardiac) at the dose of 0.1 mmol/kg BW (0.2
mL/kg BW)
•Subject with normal renal function for its age, according to estimated glomerular
filtration rate calculated based on the Schwartz formula
•Subject whose parents or legal guardian (where applicable) has/have
provided his/her/their fully informed written consent for the
participation of the child in the trial. Parents or guardian must have the
ability to read, understand and willingness to sign the informed consent
form
•Subject with health insurance, according to the local regulatory
requirement
Are the trial subjects under 18? yes
Number of subjects for this age range: 50
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) no
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria:
•Subject planned for intervention (e.g. surgery) between the screening
visit and up to 24 hours after DOTAREM injection
•Subject whose preceding or subsequent treatment to DOTAREM
injection (e.g., blood loss or receiving blood, treatment with diuretics,
etc…) would alter DOTAREM pharmacokinetics parameters
•Subject with subsequent planned treatment after DOTAREM injection
that would prevent obtaining the required blood samples (e.g.,
emergency surgery, etc…)
•Subject with a history of a bleeding disorder
•Subject with known severe liver disease
•Subject with electrolyte or fluid imbalance that presents undue risk
•Subject undergoing a change in chemotherapy within 48 hours prior to
and up to 24 hours after DOTAREM injection
•Subject who received or will receive any other contrast agent within 72
hours prior to DOTAREM injection or up to 24 hours after DOTAREM
injection
•Subject with contraindication for MRI such as iron metal implants (e.g.
aneurysm clips)
•Subject with history of anaphylactoid or anaphylactic reaction to any
allergen including drugs and contrast agents
•Subject who received or will receive any investigational product within 7 days before DOTAREM injection or during study participation
•Any condition which, based on the investigator's clinical judgement,
would prevent the subject from participating in all study assessments
and visits

Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied

Pediatric subject aged <2 years (term newborn infants to toddlers 23 months of age inclusive) scheduled to undergo routine gadoliniumenhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging of any body region

Therapeutic area: Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment [E] - Diagnosis [E01]

Intervention(s)

Trade Name: Dotarem 0.5 mmol/ml
Product Name: Dotarem 0.5 mmol/ml, solution for
Product Code: G449.06
Pharmaceutical Form: Solution for injection
INN or Proposed INN: GADOTERIC ACID
CAS Number: 72573-82-1
Concentration unit: mg/ml milligram(s)/millilitre
Concentration type: equal
Concentration number: 279.32-

Primary Outcome(s)

Primary end point(s): DOTAREM pharmacokinetics in plasma:
•The start of administration is set as time point 0 (T0), and blood
samples will be collected during three time windows as 10 to 60 min, 2.0
to 4.0 hours and 6.0 to 8.0 hours post-injection, at time points which are
allocated by randomization.
•DOTAREM concentrations in plasma will be analyzed using a validated
LC-MS-MS method.
•The following pharmacokinetic parameters from plasma samples will be
determined from typical and individual DOTAREM concentration-time
profiles: AUC, ß, t½ß, ClT, Vd.

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The start of administration is set as time point 0 (T0), and blood samples
will be collected during three time windows as 10 to 60 min, 2.0 to 4.0
hours and 6.0 to 8.0 hours post-injection

Main Objective: To evaluate pharmacokinetics profile in plasma of DOTAREM following
single intravenous injection in pediatric subjects aged up to 23 months
(inclusive)

Secondary Objective: -To evaluate the DOTAREM safety (clinical and biological) following
single administration up to 7 ± 1 day.
-To evaluate efficacy of DOTAREM-enhanced MRI in brain (intracranial),
spine and associated tissues in a subgroup of at least 20 subjects as
assessed by on-site investigator

Secondary Outcome(s)

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: •Height and weight at screening visit
•Vital signs at baseline (prior to injection), post injection immediately
after MRI, between 2 and 4 hours and at 24 ± 4 hours
•Blood samples for safety laboratory variables centrally analyzed at
screening and post injection at 24 ± 4 hours
•Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) centrally analyzed at screening and post injection at 24 ± 4 hours
•Urine samples for safety assessment (urinalysis with dipstick) at
screening and post injection at 24 ± 4 hours
•Tolerance at the injection site over 24 ± 4 hours after injection.
•Adverse events from the beginning of subject's participation in the
study (ICF signature) to the end of a 7 ± 1 day follow-up period.
•MRI efficacy (pre and post contrast assessment) evaluated at D0

Secondary end point(s): Clinical and biological safety:
•Height and weight at screening visit
•Vital signs (blood pressure and heart rate) at several time
points/intervals (at baseline (prior to injection), post injection
immediately after MRI, between 2 and 4 hours and at 24 ± 4 hours)
•Blood samples for safety laboratory variables centrally analyzed
(biochemistry and hematology) at screening and post injection at 24 ± 4
hours
•Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) centrally analyzed at screening and post
injection at 24 ± 4 hours
•Urine samples for safety assessment (urinalysis with dipstick) at
screening and post injection at 24 ± 4 hours
•Tolerance at the injection site over 24 ± 4 hours after injection.
•Adverse events will be monitored from the beginning of subject's
participation in the study (ICF signature) to the end of a 7 ± 1 day
follow-up period.
DOTAREM-MRI efficacy evaluation in brain (intracranial), spine and
associated tissues (pre and post contrast assessment):
•Lesion visualization: lesions will be assessed by on-site radiologist
using a 3-point scale for 3 co-endpoints (lesion border delineation,
internal morphology and contrast enhancement).
•Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR) and Pre-Post
Contrast Variation (?CNR) will be computed.
•Quality of images will be assessed using a 3 graded scale.
