Gadobutrol Magnevist-controlled Body Study

A Multi-center/Multi-national, Randomized, Controlled, Single-blind, Group Comparison Phase 3 Study to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of Gadobutrol 1.0 Molar in Comparison to Magnevist Following Single Injection in Patients Referred for Contrast-enhanced MRI of the Body/Extremities Regions (Breast, Heart, Abdomen, Kidney, Pelvis, or Extremities)

The purpose of the study is to look at the safety (what are the side effects) and efficacy (how well does it work) of gadobutrol when used for taking MR images of the body/extremities regions. The results of the MRI with gadobutrol injection will be compared to the results of MR images taken without contrast and with the results of the MR images taken with Magnevist.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Is at least 20 years of age
• Is referred for a contrast-enhanced MRI of the body/extremities based on current clinical symptoms or results of a previous imaging procedure
• Is willing to undergo the routine contrast-enhanced MRI examinations
• Is willing and able to complete all study procedures specified in the protocol
• Subject is male, or is female not of childbearing potential, or is female of childbearing potential who is using any medically accepted means of contraception and has a negative urine pregnancy test prior to the administration of gadobutrol or Magnevist

Exclusion Criteria:

• Is a female subject who is pregnant or nursing

• Has any contraindication to the MRI examinations or the use of Gd-containing contrast agents
• Has a history of severe allergic or anaphylactoid reaction to any allergen including drugs and contrast agents
• Has received any contrast agent within 24 hours prior to the study MRI
• Has a glomerular filtration rate value <30 mL/min/1.73m2 derived from a serum creatinine result within 4 weeks prior to study enrollment
• Is considered clinically unstable or his/her clinical course during the study period is unpredictable (eg, due to previous surgery, acute renal failure)
• Has severe cardiovascular disease (eg, acute myocardial infarction (<14 days), unstable angina, congestive heart failure New York Heart Association class IV) or acute stroke (<48 hours)
• Patients with acute renal insufficiency of any severity due to hepato-renal syndrome or in the perioperative liver transplantation period
