Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of Lumason in Pediatric Echocardiography (NCT NCT02282163)

NCT ID: NCT02282163

Last Updated: 2020-07-13

Results Overview

The total LV EBD score for a subject was the total of the EBD scores (Inadequate - 0, sufficient - 1, Good - 2) from the 17 segments (from the apical 4-chamber, apical 2-chamber and apical long (3-chamber) views, according to the guidelines of the American Society of Echocardiography). The total LV EBD scores could range from 0 to 34 and are presented below for each of the three readers for both unenhanced ultrasound (UEUS) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Change from baseline is the difference between UEUS and CEUS in total LV EBD scores.

Participant Flow

Study Initiation Date (first subject enrolled): 20 October 2015; Study Completion Date (last subject completed study related activities): 20 January 2018. Enrolment was at 2 sites in the US. Even though last subject enrolled was 20 January 2018, FDA release from completion of enrolment was 31 May 2018. Blinded read completion was 13 August 2018.

The study was terminated early due to challenges with enrollment. At the time of termination, 13 subjects were enrolled and 12 subjects were dosed with Lumason, thus the efficacy analysis was considered as exploratory and p-values are not included in the Results section. PK assessment was not performed due to enrollment difficulties.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Immediately post dose-Day 1

Population: All subjects who received IP and had data available for both unenhanced ultrasound (UEUS) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) were included in ITD population.

The total LV EBD score for a subject was the total of the EBD scores (Inadequate - 0, sufficient - 1, Good - 2) from the 17 segments (from the apical 4-chamber, apical 2-chamber and apical long (3-chamber) views, according to the guidelines of the American Society of Echocardiography). The total LV EBD scores could range from 0 to 34 and are presented below for each of the three readers for both unenhanced ultrasound (UEUS) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Change from baseline is the difference between UEUS and CEUS in total LV EBD scores.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Immediately post dose-Day 1

Population: All subjects who received IP and had data available for contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) were included in ITD population.

LVO was graded as 0 to +3, 4-point rating scale. Left ventricular opacification rating of +2 (non-homogeneous) or +3 (complete and homogeneous) was considered as adequate LVO.
