About this trial
This is an operationally combined Phase 2/3 study, which will be conducted and evaluated in 2 distinct parts:
* Phase 2: Prospective, adaptive, multicenter, non-randomized, single-blind, dose-finding, including participants with known or highly suspected lesions of the CNS. The aim of the Phase 2 part is to identify an optimized dose of mangaciclanol for the Phase 3 part of the study. * Phase 3: Prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled, single-blind, cross-over, including participants with known or highly suspected lesions of the CNS or body. The aim of the Phase 3 part is to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of mangaciclanol-enhanced MRI for the detection and characterization of lesions of the CNS or body.
The investigational medicinal products (IMPs) used during the trial are mangaciclanol and gadobutrol (comparator IMP).
Primary and key secondary efficacy analyses will be based on independent central blinded image evaluation (BIE), and Phase 2 data will be analyzed prior to commencement of Phase 3.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
The participant is of legal majority age, as defined by local laws and regulations at the time of signing the ICF.
The participant is able and willing to comply with study procedures as described in the protocol.
The participant has read, understood, signed and dated the ICF prior to any study procedures.
Phases 2 and 3 CNS: Participants presenting with known or highly suspected enhancing CNS lesions referred as part of standard care for contrast-enhancing MRI of the CNS. The suspicion may be based on a previous imaging procedure such as computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET)/CT or MRI performed within 12 months prior to ICF signature.
Disqualifiers
The participant has previously enrolled in this mangaciclanol study, including participation in an earlier phase or cohort.
The participant has a contraindication to MRI examination, such as the presence of a cardiac pacemaker or other electronic devices, presence of ferromagnetic metal foreign bodies in vulnerable positions or within positions that would affect the imaged field of view, presence of certain tattoos that may raise a safety concern for MRI, participant suffering from severe claustrophobia which is not manageable with standard sedation, or participant working as a machinist, welder or metal worker (unless the participant will undergo thorough screening by radiology personnel to rule out the presence of metallic foreign bodies, especially in or near the eyes).
Participant with severe cardiovascular disease (e.g., known long QT syndrome including QTc prolongation based on screening ECG, acute myocardial infarction within the past 14 days, unstable angina, congestive heart failure class III/IV by New York Heart Association classification, or acute stroke within the past 48 hours).
(Phase 2 only) Participant with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (CKD-EPI) within 14 days prior to the first IMP administration.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Phase 2 Primary Endpoint - Overall diagnostic preference
Overall diagnostic preference based on global matched pairs reads according to a 3-point scale that is derived from a 5-point scale (1 = greatly prefer mangaciclanol/prefer mangaciclanol, 0 = no preference, -1 = prefer gadobutrol/greatly prefer gadobutrol), as evaluated by 3 blinded independent readers.
Phase 3 Primary Endpoint - Lesion visualization criteria
Lesion visualization criteria (lesion border delineation, internal morphology and degree of lesion contrast enhancement) for paired (unenhanced plus mangaciclanol-enhanced) MRIs compared to unenhanced MRI based on the primary reads on a 4-point scale (1 = poor / none; 2 = moderate; 3 = good; 4 = excellent) for up to 3 of the most representative lesions.
Secondary outcomes
Phase 2 Secondary Endpoint - Lesion visualization criteria
Lesion visualization criteria (lesion border delineation, internal morphology, and degree of lesion contrast enhancement) on a 4-point scale (1 = poor / none; 2 = moderate; 3 = good; 4 = excellent) for up to 3 of the most representative lesions based on the primary reads.
Phase 2 Secondary Endpoint - Number of lesions
Number of lesions based on global matched pairs reads and primary reads, and size and location of up to 3 of the most representative lesions based on the primary reads.
Phase 2 Secondary Endpoint - Technical adequacy of images for diagnosis
Technical adequacy of images for diagnosis according to categorical assessment of image quality based on the primary reads.
Phase 2 Secondary Endpoint - Contrast enhancement percentage (CE%)
Quantitative measurements of percentage of contrast enhancement (CE%) between unenhanced and contrast-enhanced images, will be determined per participant as the average for up to 3 of the most representative lesions (i.e., the same lesions identified for assessment of lesion visualization scores) based on evaluation of paired (unenhanced and contrast-enhanced) images
