Brief summary

Iodine-123 labelled ortho-Iodohippuric Acid (\[I-123\]-OIH) was used in the early 1970's as a kidney imaging agent or tracer that lights-up inside your body when scanned, but over the years its use has declined. The most commonly used tracer is Technetium-99m labelled Mercaptoacetyltriglycine (\[Tc-99m\]-Mertiatide or \[Tc-99m\]-MAG3). However, long-term shortages may threaten the supply of the radioactive substance Tc-99m in Canada and the world. As a result of such shortages, there is a need to identify other types of tracers that can be used for imaging. \[I-123\]-OIH may be an alternative. The purpose of this study is to examine the diagnostic performance characteristics of \[I-123\]-OIH in comparison to \[Tc-99m\]-MAG3.

Detailed description

This study is being conducted to compare two imaging agents (tracers): \[I-123\]-OIH and \[Tc-99m\]-MAG3 using gamma camera imaging in participants with different levels of kidney function. Gamma camera imaging is a non-invasive nuclear scan that is used to look at organs and tissues inside the body. An imaging agent or tracer is a radioactive chemical intravenously injected into your body which lights up cells, tissues and organs. The study will evaluate the safety of a single injection of \[I-123\]-OIH and compare the imaging results and the calculated renal function values (using blood tests) to those of \[Tc-99m\]-MAG3 . 90 participants are required to complete this study.

Inclusion criteria

* At least 18 years of age. * Provide signed informed consent. * Documented stable renal impairment with an eGFR \< 60/mL/min/1.73m\^2 by two eGFR measurements within 3 months that are within ± 15% of each other or healthy prospective kidney donor with an eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m\^2.

Exclusion criteria

* Females who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are lactating. * Clinically relevant abnormal findings that could, in the opinion of the investigator, interfere with the safe completion of the study. * Unable, in the opinion of the clinician or investigator, to tolerate fluid intake required for radionuclide renography. * Participation in any clinical trial involving an investigational product within 30 days prior to the first injection. * Not using an adequate method of family planning unless the participant, or the male participant's partner, has had a hysterectomy, a tubal ligation, is postmenopausal or is not at risk of pregnancy. * Unable to lie still in a supine position for at least 30 minutes. * Unable to complete study procedures, including follow-up safety assessments. * Medical or psychological conditions that on assessment by the principal investigator make the participant unable to complete the procedure. * History of allergic reaction to iodine or iodine compounds, inclusive of iodinated x-ray contrast media. * Any other conditions that may impact the participant's ability to complete the study.
