For a single participant the sensitivity was defined as the proportion of malignant breast regions that were recognized by the clinical investigators and the 3 blinded readers using the respective imaging modality as malignant. Subsequently the sensitivity percentage was calculated based on the mean of the sensitivities across all participants. The difference was calculated as CMRM value minus UMRM value. For ease of expression, the following abbreviations will be used: Magnetic Resonance Mammography (MRM), Unenhanced MRM (UMRM), combined unenhanced and contrast (gadobutrol)-enhanced MRM (CMRM), X-ray mammography (XRM).

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.

Data were compared to the corresponding regional data from Single Photon Emission Computer Tomography (SPECT). The number of regional assessments was calculated by multiplication of the number of participants with the number of the blinded readers and number of the myocardial regions.

Body Weight-Normalized Total Body Clearance (CL) of Gadobutrol From Plasma: Individual
Blood samples were collected at 3 timepoints between 15 minutes and 8 hours post administration of gadobutrol

Clearance is the volume of the fluid presented to the eliminating organ that is effectively completely cleared of drug per unit time and depends on the rate of elimination. CL of gadobutrol normalized for body weight, was reported in Liter per hour per kilogram (L/(h\*kg).

Body Weight-Normalized Apparent Volume of Distribution at Steady State (Vss) of Gadobutrol in Plasma: Individual
Blood samples were collected at 3 timepoints between 15 minutes and 8 hours post administration of gadobutrol

Vss is an estimate of drug distribution independent of the elimination process and is proportional to the amount of drug in the body versus the drug plasma concentration at steady-state.

Mean Residence Time (MRT) of Gadobutrol in Plasma: Individual
Blood samples were collected at 3 timepoints between 15 minutes and 8 hours post administration of gadobutrol

MRT is the average time that the molecules introduced into the body stay in the body. MRT of Gadobutrol is expressed in hours.

Terminal Elimination Half-Life (t1/2) of Gadobutrol From Plasma: Individual
Blood samples were collected at 3 timepoints between 15 minutes and 8 hours post administration of gadobutrol

Half-life refers to the elimination of the drug, that is, the time it takes for the blood plasma concentration to reach half the concentration. Terminal elimination half-life of gadobutrol from plasma is expressed in hours and is derived from the terminal slope of the concentration versus time curve.

Simulation of Plasma Concentration of Gadobutrol at 20 Minutes Post-Injection (C20)
20 minutes post-injection

Simulation is the use of the model to predict data other than observed data, in this case early Gadobutrol plasma concentration after intravenous injection. Plasma concentration serves as a surrogate for efficacy (signal and contrast enhancement) in MRI. C20 was simulated for virtual pediatric subjects with homogenous distribution over age. Simulated median (5th and 95th percentile in parenthesis) gadolinium plasma concentrations for a dose of 0.1 mmol/kg body weight were presented.

Frequently asked questions about Gadobutrol

What is Gadobutrol used for?

Gadobutrol is a small molecule diagnostic imaging agent used in oncology and other settings to enhance magnetic resonance imaging. It is indicated for diagnostic imaging in central nervous system diseases, brain metastases, carotid stenosis, enhancing brain lesions, and myocardial perfusion imaging. It is being developed by Bayer AG.

What does Gadobutrol target?

Gadobutrol is a gadolinium-based contrast agent used in magnetic resonance imaging. It works by shortening the T1 relaxation time of protons, which enhances the signal from tissues where it accumulates, such as brain lesions and areas of myocardial perfusion. This allows better visualization of abnormalities during diagnostic imaging.

Who makes Gadobutrol?

Gadobutrol is developed by Bayer AG, a German pharmaceutical company. Bayer AG is publicly traded under the ticker symbol BAYRY on the over-the-counter market. The drug is being investigated for use in diagnostic imaging procedures, particularly for central nervous system and cardiac applications.

What phase is Gadobutrol in?

Gadobutrol is in Phase 3 clinical development. It has completed four Phase 3 trials with a total enrollment of 906 participants. These trials were controlled but not double-blinded, and none are currently active. The drug remains investigational and is not yet approved for commercial use.

What clinical trials is Gadobutrol in?

Gadobutrol has completed four Phase 3 clinical trials. These include NCT00522951 for brain metastases in Japan, NCT00709852 for central nervous system imaging across multiple countries, NCT01344460 for renal artery obstruction, and NCT01890434 for coronary artery disease. All trials are completed with no active studies ongoing.

Is Gadobutrol the same as Gadavist?

Yes, Gadobutrol is the same as Gadavist. In clinical trials, Gadobutrol 1.0 Molar is referred to as Gadavist, as seen in the study titled 'Safety and Efficacy of Gadobutrol 1.0 Molar (Gadavist) in Patients for Central Nervous System (CNS) Imaging.' Both names refer to the same gadolinium-based contrast agent.
