This is an observational study, in which data associated with the wastage with the use of Gadavist single-dose vials, as compared to the wastage associated with the use of the Gadavist imaging bulk packages (IBP) used for contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using Gadavist will be compared.
MRI is a medical technique, which creates detailed images of the organs, soft tissues and structures inside the body. Combination of MRI with a "dye" that is injected into the vein (called contrast media, like Gadavist) creates what is called a contrast-enhanced MRI that enables clearer pictures of the body and helps doctors to see problems better than an MRI without contrast media.
The drug Gadavist (also called gadobutrol) is a gadolinium-based contrast media for diagnostic use in MRI, which is given as an injection into the vein to improve the quality of the MRI pictures. Gadavist is already approved for several indications including imaging of brain and spinal cord, breast imaging, imaging of blood vessels, and diagnoses of heart disease. It helps doctors for example to detect:
The aim of this study is to understand how much of the contrast agent Gadavist is used and how much is wasted in two different containers (single-dose vials and Imaging Bulk Packages (IBP)) in a real-world setting. To do this, researchers will review information collected regarding the amount of Gadavist used for patients undergoing contrast-enhanced MRI for any indication regarding:
There will be no study-mandated visits or treatments. The decision to undergo a contrast-enhanced MRI with Gadavist will be made by the study participants with their doctors before data collection, and independently of this study. Data will be collected over a period of approximately 6-weeks, until the data collection of 1200 participants for each comparison group (vial type) is completed. No patient information beyond Gadavist dose will be collected in this study.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gadavist Single-dose vial | Data will be collected from contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) using Gadavist from a single-dose vial of 7.5 or 10 or 15 milliliters (mL). |
| |
| Gadavist IBP | Data will be collected from contrast-enhanced MRI using Gadavist from an IBP of either 30 or 65 milliliters (mL), and from Gadavist via a single-dose vial due to insufficient product remaining in an IBP during the IBP cohort. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Overall total wastage in milliliter (mL) for single-dose vials consumed in the single-dose vial cohort | Wastage will be defined as: For single-dose vials, any unused product that remains immediately following the administration of Gadavist to a single patient. | Up to 12 weeks |
| Overall total wastage in mL for IBPs and single-dose vials consumed in the IBP cohort | Wastage will be defined as: For IBPs, any unused product that remains after the administration of Gadavist to some number of patients and where the allowable 24-hour window has expired, or in the event of office closure, would expire before the next scheduled Gadavist-enhanced MRI. Should a patient receive Gadavist via a single-dose vial due to insufficient product remaining in an IBP during the IBP cohort, the wastage from this single-dose vial will contribute to the overall wastage of that IBP. | Up to 12 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The cost associated with discarded Gadavist using the total volume of wastage for single-dose vials and IBPs cohort | Up to 12 weeks | |
| The accuracy of the Bayer Radiology IBP cost calculator by comparing the estimated cost associated with discarded Gadavist as generated from the study analysis with the cost generated by the cost calculator |
