Conditions

Known or Suspected Focal Liver Lesions, Severe Renal Impairment

Brief summary

The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and diagnostic efficacy of Mangoral in liver MRI in participants with known or suspected focal liver lesions and severe renal impairment. The diagnostic efficacy of Mangoral will be assessed in terms of visualization of detected focal liver lesions in combined MRI (CMRI: combined Mangoral-enhanced and unenhanced MRI) compared to unenhanced MRI.

Detailed description

The overall objective of this multicenter, open-label, study is to evaluate the safety and diagnostic efficacy of Mangoral in participants with known or suspected focal liver lesions and severe renal impairment. Study treatment is a single oral dose of Mangoral (800 mg manganese chloride \[II\] tetrahydrate, 500 mg L-alanine, and 800 IU vitamin D3). Adult male and female participants with severe renal impairment or acute kidney injury and who are being evaluated for known or suspected focal liver lesions will be included. Primary diagnostic efficacy in terms of visualization of detected lesions will be evaluated centrally by 3 independent readers. Study MRIs will also be evaluated by the on-site radiologists for the assessment of secondary objectives and for clinical purposes.

Qualitative assessment determined on the 4-point scales for up to 15 lesions per participant. Each lesion was assessed for lesion border delineation from 1 (poor: lesion border is poorly distinct) to 4 (excellent: lesion border is sharply and clearly distinct). Central reading sessions were undertaken by 3 independent, blinded readers. The scores were calculated for each participant by summing the individual lesion scores and calculating the mean. The total score could range from 1 to 4 for each participant with higher scores representing a better outcome.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Mangoral
All participants received a single oral dose of mangoral (800 mg). Mangoral is a novel manganese-based contrast agent for liver MRI. Unenhanced MRI of the liver was performed during the Baseline Period, i.e., either on the day prior to the mangoral-enhanced MRI or predose on the same day as the mangoral-enhanced MRI. Mangoral-enhanced MRI of the liver was performed 4 (±1) hours after IMP administration. Each unenhanced and each mangoral-enhanced liver MRI examination will consist of axial T1- and T2-weighted image sequences and a DWI sequence.

Lesion Contrast in Mangoral-enhanced MRI Compared to Unenhanced MRI

Visualization of focal liver lesions was measured by variables: 'lesion border delineation' and 'lesion contrast' compared to liver background. Qualitative assessment determined on the 4-point scales for up to 15 lesions per participant. Each lesion was assessed for lesion contrast from 1 (poor: difference in signal intensity between the lesion and the surrounding normal liver tissue is poor) to 4 (excellent: difference in signal intensity between the lesion and the surrounding liver is marked). Central reading sessions were undertaken by 3 independent, blinded readers. The scores were calculated for each participant by summing the individual lesion scores and calculating the mean. The total score could range from 1 to 4 for each participant with higher scores representing a better outcome.

Liver-to-lesion Contrast (LLC) in Mangoral-enhanced MRI Compared to Unenhanced MRI

Quantitative SI was measured by positioning circular regions of interest in a homogenous area in the liver and the assessed liver lesion on the same image. Up to 5 lesions per participant of ≥ 2 cm in diameter were evaluated and these lesions were the same on pre-and post-contrast images. SI lesion was defined as the SI of these lesions. SI liver was defined as the SI of the liver. LLC = (SI liver - SI lesion) / (SI liver + SI lesion). Higher ratio scores represent a better outcome. Assessments of unenhanced MRI and mangoral-enhanced MRI for LLC ratio were undertaken during central reading sessions by the 3 independent, blinded readers.

Number of Participants With Change(s) in Recommended Management Based on Diagnostic Performance of Combined MRI or Mangoral-enhanced MRI Compared to Unenhanced MRI

A participant was considered to have a change in recommended management when compared to unenhanced MRI if recommended management was different following assessment of the combined MRI or mangoral-enhanced MRI, including next steps in management (i.e. chemotherapy, surgery, local ablation procedure, combination therapy, or other \[specify\]). Recommended patient management from other in unenhanced MRI to other in combined MRI or mangoral-enhanced MRI was considered not a change regardless of the free text. Assessments of unenhanced MRI, mangoral-enhanced MRI, and combined MRI for confidence in lesion detection were undertaken by on-site readers (assessing participants at their own site with access to patient records) and during central reading sessions by 3 independent, blinded readers (without access to patient records).

Time frame: Unenhanced MRI: Baseline Period (Day -1 to Day 0); mangoral-enhanced MRI: 4 hours after mangoral administration on Day 0; and combined MRI: Baseline Period (Day -1 to Day 0) and 4 hours after mangoral administration on Day 0

Population: FAS: All participants of the Safety Population who received the IMP and for whom the primary efficacy variable was assessable, i.e. all unenhanced / enhanced liver MRI images are assessable.

Percentage Liver Signal Intensity (SI) Enhancement in Mangoral-enhanced MRI Compared to Unenhanced MRI

Quantitative SI was measured by positioning circular regions of interest in a homogenous area in the liver and the assessed liver lesion on the same image. SI liver was defined as the SI of the liver. Liver SI enhancement (%) = (\[SI liver post contrast - SI liver pre contrast\] / \[SI liver pre contrast\]) × 100. Assessments of unenhanced MRI and mangoral-enhanced MRI for liver SI were undertaken during central reading sessions by the 3 independent, blinded readers.

Signal-to-noise Ratio (SNR) in Mangoral-enhanced MRI Compared to Unenhanced MRI

Quantitative SI was measured by positioning circular regions of interest in a homogenous area in the liver and the assessed liver lesion on the same image. SI liver was defined as the SI of the liver. Standard deviation of the background noise was measured using the largest possible rectangular region of interest vertical to the patient's abdomen in the direction of the phase-encoding gradient. SNR = SI liver / standard deviation noise. Higher ratio scores represent a better outcome. Assessments of unenhanced MRI and mangoral-enhanced MRI for SNR were undertaken during central reading sessions by the 3 independent, blinded readers.
