Post-marketing Surveillance Study for Evaluation of Dotarem Safety

Evaluation of Dotarem Safety

Guerbet conducted a non-interventional post-marketing surveillance study on its Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contrast agent Dotarem (gadoteric acid/gadoterate meglumine). The aim of this study, which was conducted in accordance with section 67, paragraph 6 of the German drug regulation, Arzneimittelgesetz, was to gain additional insights into the diagnostic efficacy, reliability and safety of Dotarem in routine practice using the most up-to-date MRI techniques and application methods.

Diagnostic efficacy was assessed by the following endpoints: diagnostic value ("yes"/"no") and imaging quality (5-step scale from "excellent" to "very poor"). Safety was evaluated on the basis of the frequency and seriousness of adverse events that occurred following Dotarem injection.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients undergoing routine MRI using the MRI contrast medium Dotarem
