Phase 2 Ascending Dose Safety and Efficacy Study of RVP-001, a Manganese-based MRI Contrast Agent
Purpose
This Phase 2 clinical trial will study RVP-001, a new manganese-based MRI contrast agent, in people who are known to have gadolinium-enhancing central nervous system (CNS) lesions, for example stable brain tumors or multiple sclerosis. The goal of this study is to assess safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of RVP-001 at three dose levels. The study will also compare RVP-001 imaging to gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) imaging. A single dose of RVP-001 will be administered to each subject. Subjects will have known gadolinium-enhancing CNS lesions and will be due to have a routine gadolinium-based contrast agent-enhanced MRI of the brain a few days before receiving RVP-001 with imaging. The ultimate goal of this research program is development of a gadolinium-free alternative to current general purpose MRI contrast agents.

Detailed Description
Subjects will be pre-screened by study site personnel based on their upcoming appointment date for standard of care GBCA-enhanced MR imaging. Subjects may include individuals who have a stable primary brain tumor, metastatic brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, or other gadolinium-enhancing CNS lesions. Screening to select subjects for study participation will occur at or around the time of the subject's scheduled appointment. The appointment for standard of care imaging should take place at the designated study site. Following GBCA-enhanced MRI scan to confirm presence of target lesion(s), a baseline unenhanced MRI scan will be performed prior to RVP-001 injection. Dynamic imaging will be performed in conjunction with RVP-001 injection. Steady state imaging will follow at multiple time points during the first hour following dose administration to characterize the pharmacodynamics of RVP-001 and to assess its ability to enhance visualization of areas with disrupted blood brain barrier and/or abnormal vascularity of the central nervous system. Three dose cohorts are planned. An unenhanced MRI scan follow-up study will be performed between one week and six weeks following the administration of RVP-001. Safety will be evaluated throughout the study by assessing the following parameters: adverse events (AEs), physical examinations, injection site monitoring, electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs, clinical laboratory evaluations, medical history, and prior and concomitant medications.
