DTPA (Diethylenetriaminepenta-acetate) Chelation for Symptoms After Gadolinium-assisted MRI Exposure

NCT05359835 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: EARLY_PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2025-05-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study aims at gathering additional data on the safety and effectiveness of using intravenous administration of the drugs Ca-DTPA/Zn-DTPA to remove the heavy metal gadolinium from the bodies of patients who have retained it and developed symptoms of Gadolinium Deposition Disease following an MRI in which a gadolinium-containing contrast agent was utilized. The outcome data will include measures of symptom relief after as many as six paired Calcium-DTPA/Zinc-DTPA chelation treatments. The study also aims at gathering additional data before and after DTPA treatment regarding levels of certain cytokines in the patients' blood that have been reported to be abnormally elevated in patients with retained gadolinium.

Conditions

  • Gadolinium Deposition Disease

Interventions

DRUG

Calcium DTPA and Zinc DTPA

Intravenous administration of 2.5 mL (500 mg) of Ca-DTPA over one minute, followed by 900 mL of normal saline infusion over about 90 minutes, followed by 2.5 mL (500 mg) of Ca-DTPA over one minute, followed by infusion of the remaining 100 mL of normal saline over about 10 minutes. Procedure repeated with Zn-DTPA the following day. Two-day procedure repeated at an interval of one week or more for a total of six 2-day treatment sessions.
