Double-Center Cross-Sectional Study of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound With Lumason/Definity as a Screening Tool for Kidney Cancer in Patients With Von-Hippel Lindau
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Perflutren lipid microsphere and Sulfur hexafluoride lipid microspheres for Von-Hippel Lindau and Kidney Disease, Chronic. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if contrast-enhanced ultrasound can detect abnormal features of kidney lesions in patients with Von-Hippel Lindau with the same accuracy as conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Baseline B-mode US will be performed to confirm the lesions being imaged (unless it is a subject with no lesions, then a basic B-mode US will be performed. Perflutren is a diagnostic drug that is intended to be used for contrast enhancement. The vial contains a clear, colorless, sterile, non-pyrogenic, hypertonic solution which is activated by mechanical agitation with Vialmix®.It will be dispensed in inactivated form to a study team member. The contrast agent will be activated just prior to administration (ideally to be used within 5 minutes of activation). Contrast agent Definity (or Lumason) will be activated according to package insert instructions, including use of VialMix®, the device used to activate Definity. Administration will occur IV in coordination with sonography staff trained specifically in contrast ultrasound imaging.The total imaging time is anticipated to be less than 30 minutes.
Baseline B-mode US will be performed to confirm the lesions being imaged (unless it is a subject with no lesions, then a basic B-mode US will be performed. Lumason will be used as a secondary contrast agent only if Definity(perflutren) is unavailable.This drug will be administered using the dosing range and administration type within the Lumason prescribing information. The contrast agent will be activated just prior to administration (ideally to be used within 5 minutes of activation). Contrast agent Definity (or Lumason) will be activated according to package insert instructions, including use of VialMix®, the device used to activate Definity. Administration will occur IV in coordination with sonography staff trained specifically in contrast ultrasound imaging.The total imaging time is anticipated to be less than 30 minutes.
