Study of new MRI dye for blocked blood vessels
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new MRI contrast dye (gadopiclenol) to see if it works as well as the standard dye for finding blocked or narrowed blood vessels. If you have symptoms of vascular disease, you may be able to join and help compare the two dyes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have symptoms or test results suggesting narrowed blood vessels in your legs, neck, or kidneys
- You are scheduled for or have had a CT scan or X-ray dye test of your blood vessels as part of your care
- You do not have severe kidney disease (eGFR below 30) or a recent kidney injury
- You are not allergic to MRI contrast dyes
- You can safely have an MRI (no metal implants, no severe claustrophobia)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new imaging system and tiny catheter that lets doctors see inside brain blood vessels more clearly during a planned angiogram. It may help people who need follow-up imaging after previous treatment or a diagnostic look at their vessels.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with medicine to treat blocked small arteries in the heart. It may help people who have new blockages and are getting a procedure to open those arteries.
This trial tests a new balloon microcatheter to treat narrowed arteries in the brain (a condition called intracranial artery stenosis) that are 70% or more blocked. The device is designed to open the artery and improve blood flow, which may help prevent strokes.
This study tests a special dye that makes inflamed areas in artery plaques glow during surgery. It may help doctors see which plaques are dangerous and guide treatment.
This study uses a special camera to take detailed pictures of artery blockages in people with heart disease, stroke, or mini-stroke. It may help doctors better understand how to treat multiple blocked arteries.
This study investigates the build-up of fatty deposits called plaques in arteries of the brain and neck using two different strengths of MRI scanners. It aims to understand how well these MRI techniques can image the plaques, which could help doctors better diagnose and manage stroke risk.
