Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective for this study is: To show superiority of a 0.1 mmol/kg dose of MULTIHANCE as compared to 0.1 mmol/kg dose of GADOVIST, in terms of the by-subject global diagnostic preference between exams (i.e., based on predose + postdose image sets);Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives for this study are: - To compare the two different investigational products, 0.1 mmol/kg MULTIHANCE and 0.1 mmol/kg GADOVIST, in terms of by-subject global diagnostic preference between exams in the following secondary endpoints Border delineation of lesions Contrast enhancement of lesions Lesion Internal Morphology Extent of Disease - To compare the two different investigational products, 0.1 mmol/kg MULTIHANCE and 0.1 mmol/kg GADOVIST, in terms of changes from predose to postdose for the following quantitative parameters (signal intensity characteristics): Lesion-to-background (brain) ratio (LBR) by lesion Contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) by lesion Lesion signal intensity enhancement;Primary end point(s): comparing images acquired with MultiHance and images acquired with Gadovist will be determined the Global diagnostic preference (primary endpoint) obtained in a paired global assessment
