All Clinical Trials for IOPAMIDOL-250 IN PLASTIC CONTAINER

Trial ID	Title	Status	Sponsor	Phase	Start Date	Summary
NCT00209417 ↗	Renal Effects of Two Iodinated Contrast Media in Patients at Risk Undergoing Computed Tomography	Terminated	ABX CRO	Phase 4	2005-06-01	It is well known that X-ray contrast media can affect kidney function in some patients, especially when administered intra-arterially, and patients who already suffer from reduced kidney function and diabetes mellitus may be at increased risk. It is widely accepted to use low-osmolar or iso-osmolar contrast media, especially in patients at risk for contrast media-induced nephropathy. However, little is known about the intravenous use of X-ray contrast media in risk patients, such as contrast-enhanced CT examinations. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects on kidney function of two contrast media, the iso-osmolar iodixanol and the low-osmolar iopamidol in patients at risk of kidney damage associated with the injection of contrast media. Due to the iso-osmolar feature, it is expected less influence on renal function following administration of iodixanol. A standard hydration procedure, based on available guidelines will be given to all patients to prevent negative effects on the kidneys. Serum creatinine (SCr ) concentrations will be measured before and up to 7 days after contrast media administration to evaluate the effects on renal function.

IOPAMIDOL-250 in Plastic Container: Clinical Trials, Market Analysis, and Projections

Last updated: February 20, 2026

What is Iopamidol-250?

Iopamidol-250 is a nonionic iodinated contrast agent used primarily for X-ray procedures, including computed tomography (CT) imaging. It is administered intravenously to enhance visibility of blood vessels and tissues. The formulation in a plastic container improves handling, storage, and patient safety.
