Gadopiclenol, sold under the brand name Elucirem among others, is a contrast agent used with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect and visualize lesions with abnormal vascularity in the central nervous system and in the body. [2] [7] Gadopiclenol is a paramagnetic macrocyclic non-ionic complex of gadolinium. [2]

Contents

Gadopiclenol was approved for medical use in the United States in September 2022, [2] [8] [9] and in the European Union in December 2023. [3] [4] [5] [6]

Pharmacology

Gadopiclenol has a higher relaxivity compared with standard gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). The higher relaxivity allows for a lower dose of gadopiclenol, reducing the total amount of gadolinium administered to the patient while preserving imaging quality. Gadopiclenol was approved by the FDA with a recommended dose of 0.05 mmol/kg for adults and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older. This is half the dose of standard macrocyclic GBCAs, which have a recommended dose of 0.1 mmol/kg. [2] [10] [11]

Society and culture

Gadopiclenol was approved for medical use in the United States in September 2022 by the Food and Drug Administration. [2] [12]

In October 2023, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorization for the medicinal product Elucirem, intended for contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to improve detection and, visualization of pathologies when diagnostic information is essential and not available with unenhanced MRI. [3] The applicant for this medicinal product is Guerbet. [3] In October 2023, the CHMP adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorization for the medicinal product Vueway, intended for contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to improve detection and, visualization of pathologies when diagnostic information is essential and not available with unenhanced MRI. [5] The applicant for this medicinal product is Bracco Imaging S.p.A. [5] Gadopiclenol was approved for medical use in the European Union in December 2023. [3] [4] [5] [6]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Gadolinium</span> Chemical element with atomic number 64 (Gd)

Gadolinium is a chemical element; it has symbol Gd and atomic number 64. Gadolinium is a silvery-white metal when oxidation is removed. It is a malleable and ductile rare-earth element. Gadolinium reacts with atmospheric oxygen or moisture slowly to form a black coating. Gadolinium below its Curie point of 20 °C (68 °F) is ferromagnetic, with an attraction to a magnetic field higher than that of nickel. Above this temperature it is the most paramagnetic element. It is found in nature only in an oxidized form. When separated, it usually has impurities of the other rare earths because of their similar chemical properties.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Magnetic resonance imaging</span> Medical imaging technique

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to generate images of the organs in the body. MRI does not involve X-rays or the use of ionizing radiation, which distinguishes it from computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans. MRI is a medical application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) which can also be used for imaging in other NMR applications, such as NMR spectroscopy.

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a rare syndrome that involves fibrosis of the skin, joints, eyes, and internal organs. NSF is caused by exposure to gadolinium in gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents (GBCAs) in patients with impaired kidney function. Epidemiological studies suggest that the incidence of NSF is unrelated to gender or ethnicity and it is not thought to have a genetic basis. After GBCAs were identified as a cause of the disorder in 2006, and screening and prevention measures put in place, it is now considered rare.

MRI contrast agents are contrast agents used to improve the visibility of internal body structures in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The most commonly used compounds for contrast enhancement are gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). Such MRI contrast agents shorten the relaxation times of nuclei within body tissues following oral or intravenous administration.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Gadoteric acid</span> Chemical compound

Gadoteric acid, sold under the brand name Dotarem among others, is a macrocycle-structured gadolinium-based MRI contrast agent (GBCA). It consists of the organic acid DOTA as a chelating agent, and gadolinium (Gd3+), and is used in form of the meglumine salt (gadoterate meglumine). The paramagnetic property of gadoteric acid reduces the T1 relaxation time (and to some extent the T2 and T2* relaxation times) in MRI, which is the source of its clinical utility. Because it has magnetic properties, gadoteric acid develops a magnetic moment when put under a magnetic field, which increases the signal intensity (brightness) of tissues during MRI imaging.

Runge was one of the early researchers to investigate the use of gadolinium-based contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), giving the first presentation in this field, followed two years later by the first presentation of efficacy. His research also pioneered many early innovations in MRI, including the use of tilted planes and respiratory gating. His publication on multiple sclerosis in 1984 represented the third and largest clinical series investigating the role of MRI in this disease, and the first to show characteristic abnormalities on MRI in patients whose CT was negative.
