  • contrast media for enhancing contrast in imaging of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is well established in several imaging modalities, such as X- ray, CT, ultrasound and MR imaging for example.
  • the contrast medium may be administered either orally or rectally, the administration route generally depending on the section of the GI tract of interest to the physician.
  • Contrast enhanced imaging of the lower portion of the GI tract is generally effected with either volume rendering (in which the contrast medium fills the lumen of the tract) or surface rendering (in which the contrast medium simply coats the mucosa and the tract may be insufflated with air or another non-toxic gas) .
  • contrast medium is administered by the oral route however, surface rendering of the colon is frequently unsatisfactory with coating being patchy and non-uniform.
  • the procedure of administering the current barium formulations is also tied to the fluoroscopic portion of the examination.

  • Example 1 X-ray imaging with the above formulation administered orally to dogs demonstrated transport to the colon, complete and efficient coating of ascending, transverse and descending colon, transradiation with good edge appearance, (all of which enhance the diagnostic quality of the radiograph) without retention in the stomach or small bowel. No manipulation was required to obtain high quality images. Pre and post-contrast images appear as Figures 1 and 2 hereto.

  • Example 1 A side-by-side comparison of the formulation of Example 1 with a 50% (the clinically optimal concentration) commercial barium sulfate suspension and two iodine containing formulations was performed in the canine model following oral administration. Representative of the images generated are Figures 3 (Example 1) , 4 (50% Liquid Polibar) , 5 (Gastrografin) and 6 (Omnipaque 90 mgl/mL) of the accompanying drawings. The X-ray images were compared for percent colon coating, uniformity, transradiation, edge appearance and mucosal coating of the ascending, transverse and descending colon. The results demonstrated that the performance of the formulation of Example 1 was far superior to that of the prior art, and that the formulation of Example 1 delivered high image quality more consistently and was the only product to meet the needs for diagnostic imaging of the colon via the oral route.
  • Example 1 The reproducibility of image quality and consistent colonic imaging of the formulation of Example 1 per oral and rectal routes were determined using a 20 dog reproducibility study in beagles. The study utilized an oral and rectal crossover design. The results of this study show that the formulation of Example 1 demonstrates highly reproducible, high quality colonic imaging per oral and rectal routes. The X-ray images were compared by three independent evaluators using the same grading criteria as described in Example 5. The results demonstrated excellent imaging and reproducibility for the formulation.

  • Table 1 shows the duration of coating when all areas in the colon were coated, i.e. when all areas were scored as 100% by all three evaluators.
  • Example 8 The utility of oral and rectal administration in obtaining similar high quality colonic imaging was demonstrated in the study mentioned in Example 6 in which image quality, as evaluated by percent colon coating, uniformity, transradiation, edge appearance and mucosal coating of the ascending, transverse and descending colon, exhibited similar qualities. These qualities were consistent throughout the reproducibility study. An interesting observation was made with retrograde administration of the formulation, in which it performed well in coating the colon and displayed excellent image quality after 5-10 minutes post dosing. This image quality persisted over 60 minutes post rectal dosing.
  • Example 8
  • Example 1 A distinct advantage that was observed with the formulation of Example 1 over competitor products was the imaging window seen with oral and rectal administration. Diagnostic imaging persistence of 1-4 hours was observed. Coating of the colon occurred from 4 hours post dosing to at least 8 hours post dosing, in most cases, when the formulation of Example 1 was administered orally to canine dog models. Rectal administration demonstrated high quality imaging, similar to oral administration, over at least a 60 minute window (duration of study) . These are demonstrated in the images which appear as Figures 2 (5 hours post dose - oral administration) and 7 (30 minutes post dose - rectal administration) of the accompanying drawings.
  • Prototype suspensions were formulated containing flavour and colouring agents to enhance patient acceptance and palatability of the dosage form and compared with the formulation of Example 1 for image quality per oral administration. These imaging studies demonstrated that the addition of flavouring and colouring agents did not change the image quality of the formulation which appears to be independent of the flavour and colour used.
  • An exemplary formulation is set out below. Representatives of the images obtained are presented in Figures 2 (formulation of Example 1) and 8 (flavoured and coloured formulations) of the accompanying drawings.
  • Prototype formulation with flavour and colour are presented in Figures 2 (formulation of Example 1) and 8 (flavoured and coloured formulations) of the accompanying drawings.
  • This may be used as either an X-ray contrast agent or an ultrasound contrast agent.
  • Other ethogenic materials eg. gas-filled particulates or microballoons may be substituted for the barium sulphate.
  • CT imaging with the formulation of Example 11, administered orally to dogs demonstrated transport to the colon with complete and efficient coating with good edge delineation. Additionally, multiple loops of the small intestine demonstrated uniform and complete coating with good edge delineation (see Figures 9 and 10) .
  • the compositions are thus clearly useful for both CT and non-CT applications, eg. virtual colonoscopy.
  • Example 13 Magnetic resonance imaging using the formulation of Example 12 administered orally to dogs demonstrated efficient coating of the GI tract with good edge delineation (see Figure 11) .
