Pharmacological action

Gadovist® is a paramagnetic contrast medium for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The increase in contrast is due to its active component gadobutrol, which is a neutral (nonionic) complex of gadolinium (III) with a macrocyclic ligand - dihydroxy-hydroxy-methyl-propyl-tetraazacyclododecane-triacetic acid (butrol).

During T1-weighted scanning during MRI, the gadolinium ion shortens the spin-lattice relaxation time, leading to an increase in signal intensity and, thereby, to a contrast enhancement of the image of the zone of interest.

When using T2 * -weighted pulse sequences, the induction of local inhomogeneity of the magnetic field under the influence of the strong magnetic moment of gadolinium at its high concentration (bolus injection) leads to a change in the signal from the tissues (contrasting effect).

Gadobutrol even in low concentrations causes a significant shortening of the relaxation time. Quantitatively, the ability to change the relaxation times T1 and T2, determined by the effect on the time of spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation of protons in plasma at pH 7 and 40 РC, is about 5.6 and 6.5 l / mmol · s, respectively. The ability to influence relaxation times only to a small extent depends on the magnetic field strength.

Introduction Gadovista® provides more accurate diagnostic information compared to conventional MRI in areas with impaired BBB permeability, for example, in cases of primary or secondary tumors, inflammatory and demyelinating diseases.

Gadovist® does not activate the complement system, and therefore the probability of inducing anaphylactoid reactions by this substance is extremely low.

No binding of gadobutrol with any proteins or their inhibition of enzyme activity was detected.

The results of clinical trials indicate the absence of a negative effect of Gadovist® on overall well-being, as well as on the function of the liver, kidneys and cardiovascular system.

Pharmacokinetics

The behavior of gadobutrol in the body is similar to the behavior of other highly hydrophilic biologically inert substances, excreted by the kidneys (e.g. mannitol or inulin).

Intravenous gadobutrol is rapidly distributed in the extracellular space and excreted unchanged by the kidneys through glomerular filtration. Extrarenal elimination is so insignificant that it may not be taken into account.

Pharmacokinetics in humans are proportional to the dose of gadobutrol administered. If the dose of gadobutrol does not exceed 0.4 mmol / kg, the elimination phase begins after the initial distribution phase, and its concentration in the plasma decreases from T1 / 2 1.81 h (1.33–2.13) h, which corresponds to the rate of excretion by the kidneys . At a dose of gadobutrol of 0.1 mmol / kg 2 minutes after injection, its plasma level was 0.59 mmol / L, and 60 minutes after injection it was 0.3 mmol / L. Within 2 hours, more than 50% of the administered dose is excreted in the urine, and over 90% within 12 hours. If the administered dose of gadobutrol is 0.1 mmol / kg, then (100.3 ± 2.6)% of this dose is excreted in 72 hours. The renal clearance of gadobutrol in healthy individuals is from 1.1 to 1.7 ml / min. / kg thus, it is comparable with the clearance of inulin, which indicates the predominant excretion of gadobutrol by glomerular filtration. Less than 0.1% of the substance administered is excreted in the feces. No metabolites in plasma and urine could be detected.

T1 / 2 gadobutrol in patients with impaired renal function increases in proportion to the degree of decrease in glomerular filtration. In patients with mild or moderate renal impairment, gadobutrol is completely excreted in the urine within 72 hours. In patients with severe renal impairment, at least 80% of the administered dose is excreted in the urine within 120 hours.

Indications

This drug is intended solely for diagnostic purposes. Gadovist® is indicated for adults, adolescents and children over the age of 7 to increase the contrast during the whole body MRI, including: increase the contrast during the cranial and spinal MRI

increase the contrast during the MRI of the head and neck

increase the contrast during the MRI of the chest

cells increased contrast during breast MRI

increased contrast during abdominal MRI (including pancreas, liver, spleen)

increased contrast during MRI and the pelvic area (including prostate, urinary bladder and uterus)

increased contrast during MRI of the retroperitoneal space (including the kidneys)

increased contrast during MRI of the musculoskeletal system and limbs

increased contrast during magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)

increased contrast during MRI of the heart (including for the evaluation of myocardial perfusion under conditions of pharmacological stress and diagnosis of tissue viability "delayed contrasting").

Contraindications

There are no absolute contraindications.

Caution:

hypersensitivity to one of the ingredients of the

preparation severe renal dysfunction

severe cardiovascular disease

low seizure threshold.

Special instructions

Hypersensitivity. In patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug, a particularly careful assessment of the risk / benefit ratio of the use of the Gadovist® drug is required. As with other contrast agents for iv administration, the use of the drug Gadovist® may be accompanied by manifestations of hypersensitivity - anaphylactoid reactions and other manifestations of idiosyncrasy, characterized by reactions from the CCC, respiratory system or skin reactions that turn into serious conditions, including shock.

The risk of hypersensitivity reactions is higher in the following cases:

- previous reaction to contrast medium

- bronchial asthma

- a history of allergic diseases.

Most of these reactions develop within 0.5–1 hours after administration. In patients with a predisposition to the development of allergic reactions, the decision to use the drug Gadovist® should be made only after a thorough assessment of the risk / benefit ratio.

Delayed allergic reactions are rarely observed (a few hours to a day after administration) (see “Side effects”). After a diagnostic procedure with Gadovist® (as well as after the use of other contrast agents), monitoring of the patient's condition is recommended.

During the examination, it is necessary to have drugs and equipment for resuscitation. Patients taking -Adrenergic blockers, with the development of a hypersensitivity reaction, may be resistant to drugs with beta-adrenomimetic action used to treat such reactions.

Severe renal impairment. So far, no renal impairment has been observed. Before administering Gadovist®, all patients should be checked for impaired renal function by collecting medical history and / or laboratory tests. It is necessary to carefully evaluate the risk / benefit ratio of the drug in patients with severe impaired renal function, since in such cases the excretion of the contrast medium is slowed down.

After three courses of dialysis, approximately 98% of gadobutrol is excreted from the body. For patients on hemodialysis, the feasibility of immediately starting hemodialysis after administration of the Gadovist® preparation should be considered in order to accelerate the elimination of the contrast agent. Cases of development of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) have been reported in connection with the administration of gadolinium-containing contrast agents, including the drug Gadovist®, patients with the following diseases / conditions:

- acute or chronic renal failure (glomerular filtration rate2) or

- acute renal failure of any severity caused by hepatorenal syndrome, or before and after liver transplantation.

Despite the fact that the Gadovist® preparation has a very high stability of the complex due to its macrocyclic structure, it is possible to develop NSF when using the Gadovist® preparation. Therefore, in such patients, the use of the Gadovist® drug should only be after a careful assessment of the benefit / risk ratio (see "Side effects").

Convulsive conditions. Particular caution is required when prescribing Gadovist®, as well as other contrast agents containing gadolinium chelate, to patients with a low threshold for convulsive readiness.

Influence on the ability to drive a car and use complex mechanisms. Not found.

Composition

Active ingredient: gadobutrol 604.72 mg (1 mmol)

Excipients: calcobutrol sodium - 0.513 mg trometamol - 1.211 mg hydrochloric acid 0.1 M - up to pH 7.2 В± 1.2 water for injection - up to 1 ml

Dosage and Administration

Intravenously, as a bolus. MRI with increased contrast can be started immediately (shortly after injection, depending on the pulse sequence used and the study protocol).

Optimal contrast enhancement is observed during the arterial phase during MPA with contrast and for a period of time, measured in minutes, after administration of the GadovistΠpreparation during other studies (time depends on the type of damage / tissue).

When performing an MRI, the general safety rules must be observed (see "Special Instructions").

For studies with increased contrast, T1-weighted pulse sequences are most suitable for scanning.

Terms of use of the drug

Before administration, carefully examine the vial, syringe or cartridge. With a significant change in color, detection of visible particles or violation of the integrity of the package, the drug should not be used.

GadovistΠshould only be taken into the syringe immediately before administration. The rubber stopper of the vial should not be punctured more than 1 time.

GadovistΠin a syringe should be removed from the packaging and prepared for injection immediately before administration. The syringe tip cover should be removed immediately before insertion.

GadovistΠin cartridges should be administered by a specialist in accordance with the instructions included with the equipment for using cartridges. The introduction of the drug should be carried out under sterile conditions. Unused in one study, part of the drug should be destroyed. GadovistΠshould not be mixed with other drugs, since compatibility data are not available.

Dosing regimen

When choosing a dosage regimen for adults, the following rules should be followed.

Dose depends on the indication. A single intravenous administration of the drug GadovistΠ(1 mmol / ml) at a dose of 0.1 ml / kg is usually sufficient. The maximum dose of GadovistΠis 0.3 mmol / kg (equivalent to 0.3 ml / kg).

whole body MRI (except MPA)

As a rule, iv administration of GadovistΠ(1 mmol / ml) is sufficient at a dose of 0.1 ml / kg (which is equivalent to 0.1 mmol / kg).

Additionally, for cranial and spinal MRI

, iv administration of GadovistΠ(1 mmol / ml) at a dose of 0.1 ml / kg (equivalent to 0.1 mmol / kg) is usually sufficient.

If at the same time there are suspicions of the presence of lesions or more accurate information is needed on the number, size and prevalence of lesions, then the diagnostic effectiveness of the study can be increased by additionally introducing a solution of GadovistΠ(0.1 mmol / ml) in a dose of 0.1 or even 0.2 ml / kg for 30 min after the previous injection.

To exclude metastases or tumor recurrence, a GadovistΠsolution (0.1 mmol / ml) is administered at a dose of 0.3 ml / kg, which often helps to increase the diagnostic effectiveness of the study. This refers to lesions with a weak severity of the blood vessel network, small extracellular space or a combination of these factors, as well as for use in scanning relatively less intense T1-weighted pulse sequences.

For perfusion studies of the brain, it is recommended to use an injector and a solution of GadovistΠ(1 mmol / ml), which is administered at a dose of 0.3 ml / kg at a rate of 3-5 ml / s.

MPA

One scan area: 7.5 ml for body weight

Two or more scan areas: 15 ml for body weight

Use in children

For children over 7 years of age and adolescents, the recommended dose of GadovistΠis 0.1 mmol / kg (equivalent to 0.1 ml / kg) for all indications (see. "Indications").

GadovistΠis not recommended for use in children under 2 years of age due to insufficient data on efficacy and safety.
