2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Purpose: There are two goals we have for this prospective single arm study; to see an increase in the amount of gadolinium in 24 hour urine collection following each infusion treatment with Calcium and Zinc DTPA, and to see a reduction or elimination of gadolinium deposition disease (GDD) symptoms. Participants: Twenty (20) patients who are suffering from gadolinium deposition disease (GDD) Procedures: Over a series of three (3) treatment time-points patients will be treated with IV Ca-DTPA on day one, and Zn-DTPA on day two.
This study is aimed at describing the degree of benefit, if any, and the adverse effects, if any, from receiving 5 or more treatment sessions of Gadolinium Deposition Disease using two-day chelation treatment with the chelating agents Calcium Diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (Ca-DTPA) and Zinc Diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (Zn-DTPA).
