Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Patient must be at least 18 years of age (or older if required by local regulations) 2. Patient scheduled for an orthopaedic surgical procedure provided that the required amount of trans-operatory collection of bone and skin as defined per-protocol in section 5.1.3 is feasible and all inclusion and no exclusion criteria are met. 3. Patient is scheduled to have sufficient bone removed during the orthopaedic surgical procedure and sufficient non-scarred skin tissue from the edge of the surgical incision or amputated part to permit sample collection, in the investigator’s medical opinion 4. Patient agreed to have bone and skin samples collected at the time of the surgical procedure(s) 5. Patient’s surgical procedure and subsequent remission will not be altered by study-specific skin biopsies, in the investigator’s medical opinion 6. Patient is fully informed about the study and has signed the informed consent form Patients having received GdCA: 7. Patient belongs to one of the following subgroups with respect to the number of GdCA doses received and the status of their renal function: a) patient (total to enrol = 5) has stable impaired renal function (at least moderate impairment, eGFR = 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) and has received one GdCA injection at the standard dose (0.025 mmol per kg body weight for Gadoxetic acid and 0.1 mmol per kg body weight for all other agents) or b) Up to 5 patients with stable impaired renal function (at least moderate impairment, eGFR = 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) and has received more than one injection of the same GdCA. • Gadodiamide, Gadopentetic acid, Gadoversetamide, and Gadoxetic acid groups: no target number. Patients should be recruited to this subgroup throughout the study duration, but there is no requirement to reach a specific number of patients in this subgroup to achieve study completion. • Gadobutrol and Gadoteric acid groups: at least 3 patients. If the target of 3 patients is reached, but the study has not yet completed, then recruitment to this group should be continued during the remaining study time. or c) patient (total to enrol = 5) has stable normal renal function (eGFR > 60 ml/min /1.73 m2) and has received one GdCA injection at the standard dose (0.025 mmol per kg body weight for Gadoxetic acid and 0.1 mmol per kg body weight for all other agents) or d) patient (total to enrol = 3 to 5) with stable normal renal function (eGFR > 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) who have received more than one injection of the same GdCA. If the target of 3 patients is reached, but the study has not yet been completed, then recruitment to this subgroup should be continued during the remaining study time, stopping when 5 patients have been recruited to this subgroup, or when all other subgroups have reached their minimum target for recruitment, whichever comes first. 8. A minimum of 1 month have elapsed between GdCA dose and the scheduled orthopaedic surgical procedure. 9. Patient GdCA history, including dose(s), date(s), and product(s) administered is com-plete and accurate. GdCA naïve patients (control group): 10. Patient has never received GdCA before the scheduled orthopaedic surgical procedure. 11. Patient belongs to one of the following renal function categories: e) patient (total to enrol = 5) has stable severe renal impairment (eGFR < 30 ml/ min/1.73 m2); f) patient (total to enrol = 5) has stable moderate renal impairment (eGFR within the range 30 to 60 ml/min/1.73 m2); g) patient (total to enrol = 5) has stable
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Patient has received different GdCAs. 2. Patient has received intra-articular GdCA or per any other non-i.v. route. 3. Patient has received or is scheduled to receive GdCA within 1 month prior to the date of the scheduled orthopaedic surgical and study sample collection procedures. 4. Patient has received any investigational product or has participated in any other clini-cal trial within 30 days prior to enrolling in this study. 5. Patient suspected of, or diagnosed with, tumour of the skeletal system (i.e. tumour, metastatic bone, and bone marrow disease in the region from where the skin and bone will be harvested). Note: Patients shall not be excluded for other bone diseases with the exception of those with bone cancer as specified in exclusion criterion 5. 6. Patient has diagnosed or suspected NSF at time of enrolment. Note: Patients shall not be excluded for diagnosis of NSF subsequent to enrolment. 7. Patient presents with scarring in the region(s) of the scheduled surgical procedure(s) or of the skin sampling location, to the extent that collection of an unscarred skin sample is not feasible. 8. Patient has a close affiliation with the investigational site; e.g., a relative of the investi-gator, dependent person (e.g., employee or student of the investigational site).
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The main objective is to prospectively explore the potential for long-term retention of Gd in bones in patients who have received a single dose of GdCA or multiple doses of the same GdCA, with moderate or severe renal impairment or stable normal renal function (eGFR > 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) at the time of GdCA injection. ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are - to evaluate skin samples for concentration of Gd, - to evaluate bone and skin samples for concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, sodium, iron, zinc and potassium - to evaluate skin samples for any dermatopathological changes that may be associated with Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) - to describe potential co-factors for NSF, susceptibility factors and drug treatments with potential impact on bone metabolism;Primary end point(s): Evaluation of Gadolinium concentration in trabecular and cortical bone after orthopaedic surgery. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After all samples have been collected and evaluated in the respective laboratory. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Secondary variable(s) • Concentration of total Gd in skin tissue samples (determined by ICP-MS), collected at the time of the scheduled orthopaedic surgical procedure, from a biopsy from the edge of the surgical wound or the amputated part. • Concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, sodium, iron, zinc and potassium in bone (both trabecular and cortical) and skin tissue samples (determined by ICP-MS or al-ternatively ICP-AES if the feasibility evaluation of ICP-MS does not show reliable re-sults). • Histopathological evaluation of skin samples with regard to the possibility of findings associated with NSF (determined by an experienced dermatopathologist). • Description of potential co-factors for NSF, susceptibility factors and drug treatments with potential impact on bone metabolism.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After all samples have been collected and evaluated in the respective laboratory. | — |
