Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound for Renal Obstruction

NCT05090800 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Last updated 2025-10-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This research is studying Definity ultrasound contrast agent, which is already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the ultrasound evaluation of the liver and heart. This research will investigate the ability to use ultrasound imaging with ultrasound contrast agents to evaluate kidney obstruction.

Eligible participants that are enrolled will have two visits (one before and one after the planned surgery to relieve the kidney obstruction).

Conditions

  • Kidney; Obstruction
  • Renal Obstruction

Interventions

DRUG

Definity contrast during ultrasound

Participants will undergo an ultrasound contrast evaluation of both kidneys. This will include placement of an intravenous (IV) catheter in a vein and the delivery of Definity ultrasound contrast agent through the IV. Imaging will be completed for each kidney. The proposed total dose for adult patients will not exceed 20 microliters/kilograms (kg). Each individual dose not to exceed 10 microliters/kg. At initiation of patient studies, the dose will start at 10 microliters/kg for the first injection and a second 10 microliters/kg dose to evaluate the contralateral kidney. However, if ultrasound findings in patient studies demonstrate a dose that is too high (unable to make accurate ultrasound assessment), the dose will be reduced.
