Protocol No. 
This study is being conducted under protocol number: IOP-120 
IND number: 16,272 
Objectives 
Primary Objective(s) 
• To evaluate the proportion of subjects, 0 to 3 years of age, with abnormal TSH values at 
either one month or two months after intravascular administration of ISOVUE. 
Secondary Objective(s) 
• To evaluate the proportion of subjects, 0 to 3 years of age, with hypothyroidism 
regardless of the need for thyroid hormone replacement therapy  at either one month or  
two months after intravascular administration of ISOVUE.  
• To estimate the proportion of subjects initiated on thyroid hormone replacement therapy  
Investigational Plan  
Overall Study Design Description 
This is a Phase IV prospective, multicenter, observational study. Subjects 0 to 3 years of age who 
are required to undergo a radiologic procedure with intravascular administration of ISOVUE as 
part of their standard of care will be enrolled in the study. The specific iodine concentration and 
volume of ISOVUE used during the radiologic procedure will depend on the type of procedure 
and the standards in place at the site where the procedure is performed. 
All subjects enrolled in the study will have thyroid function tests (TFT) which include serum 
TSH, total triiodothyronine (T3), total thyroxine (T4) and free T4 (fT4) assessed at baseline, at 
one month and two months following administration of ISOVUE. If TSH values are abnormal at 
either the one month or two month time points, further follow-up will be required at 6 and 12 
months after the administration of ISOVUE to monitor subject’s response and treatment (if any).  
Follow-up at 6 and 12 month post-dose time points will be performed using a pre-defined 
questionnaire. 
The study will be conducted at approximately 10-20 sites in the United States. 
Discussion of Study Design 
The proposed study is designed as an intra-subject comparison of TSH, T3, and T4 values before 
and after administration of ISOVUE and will enroll pediatric subjects 0 to 3 years of age, who 
require a radiologic procedure with intravascular administration of ISOVUE as part of their 
standard of care.

The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the proportion of subjects exhibiting abnormal 
values of TSH following intravascular administration of ISOVUE. Thyroid function test  data 
will be collected prospectively.  Serum thyroid function testing at baseline, one month and two 
month post-dose time points will be performed at a local laboratory. 
Abnormal TSH findings for subjects enrolled in the study will be compared to a reference 
population. As recommended by the FDA, the reference population for the study is represented 
by 3,214 infants who received potassium iodide prophylaxis on the second day of life at the time 
of the Chernobyl nuclear accident; 12 of the 3,214 infants (p=0.003734, 95% CI 0.002025, 
0.006339) showed a transient increase of serum TSH levels and a decrease of fT4 levels after 
administration of potassium iodide. 1  
As per FDA recommendation, sample size estimation for the current study has utilized the 
threshold incidence rate (p=0.003734) as the clinically meaningful value to rule out a safety 
concern about the proportion of children with abnormal TSH after exposure to ISOVUE.   
Following FDA recommendations to be complied with: 
- abnormal TSH in the study is defined as any TSH value above the normal age/gender-specific 
reference range provided by the respective local laboratories.  
- hypothyroidism is defined as a TSH > 10 mIU/L (independent of fT4) or as a TSH above the 
normal age-specific reference range and an fT4 below the lower limit of the normal range. 
Risk-Benefit Considerations 
This study will enroll subjects who require a radiologic procedure with intravascular 
administration of ISOVUE as part of their standard of care; therefore, inclusion in the present 
clinical trial will not add any risk to the subject. Three blood draws of approximately 2.0 ml each 
will be performed in all subjects as part of the study, to assess serum TFTs before and after 
administration of ISOVUE.  
Although subjects enrolled in the study will not directly benefit from this clinical trial, study 
results may be beneficial for pediatric subjects 0 to 3 years of age who will be exposed to 
iodinated contrast agents.  
Study Duration  
All subjects enrolled in the study will undergo the radiologic examination with administration of 
ISOVUE, as part of their standard of care; TFTs will be assessed at baseline, one month and two 
months post-dose.  
If TSH values are abnormal at either the one month or two month time points, follow-up will be 
required at 6 and 12 months after the administration of ISOVUE to monitor subject’s response 
and treatment (if any). Follow-up at the 6 and 12 month post-dose time points will be performed 
using a pre-defined questionnaire. Each follow-up will take no longer than 20 minutes. 
Study Population  
The study will be conducted in pediatric subjects 0 to 3 years of age, who are scheduled to 
undergo a radiologic procedure with intravascular administration of ISOVUE as part of their 
routine standard of care.

values by the subject’s physician; 
• need for treatment related to the abnormal TFT values observed after the administration 
of ISOVUE; in case of treatment, the type of treatment, dosage, dose adjustments, start 
date and current status of treatment (i.e. ongoing, completed, stop date, etc.) will be 
collected and reported in the CRF; 
• results of any additional TFT assessment performed in the interval time since the 
previous visit; 
• results of thyroid ultrasound examinations, if any performed in the interval time since the 
previous  visit; 
• exposure to any iodinated contrast agent in the interval time since the previous visit;

Extent of Exposure 
Descriptive statistics will be presented to summarize the concentration (mgI/ml) and volume 
(mL) of ISOVUE administered. The route of administration (venous or arterial) will also be 
summarized.   
Primary Endpoint - Analysis for Abnormal TSH 
The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the proportion of subjects, 0 to 3 years of age, 
with abnormal TSH values at either one month or two months after administration of ISOVUE.  
Following FDA recommendations, abnormal TSH in the study is defined as any TSH value 
above the normal age/gender-specific reference range provided by the respective local 
laboratories.  
Abnormal TSH findings for subjects enrolled in the study will be compared to a reference 
population. As recommended by the FDA, the reference population for the study is represented 
by 3,214 infants who received potassium iodide prophylaxis on the second day of life at the time 
of the Chernobyl nuclear accident; 12 of the 3,214 infants (p=0.003734, 95% CI 0.002025, 
0.006339) showed a transient increase of serum TSH levels and a decrease of fT4 levels after 
administration of potassium iodide.1 
The study hypothesis will be: 
H0: p≥0.003734 
HA: p<0.003734 
The proportion of subjects with abnormal TSH at either one month or two months after 
administration of ISOVUE and its 95% confidence interval will be estimated. Confidence 
interval will be calculated based on the approximate normal distribution: 
95% CI = p ± 1.96*(p*(1-p)/n)1/2 
The number of subjects with shift in serum TSH (with respect to normal reference range) after 
exposure to ISOVUE will be cross tabulated and summarized separately. Each subject will serve 
as his/her own control, with the pre-dose values representing their baseline or control values. 
Secondary Endpoint - Analysis for Hypothyroidism 
The secondary endpoint is to evaluate the proportion of subjects, 0 to 3 years of age, with 
hypothyroidism regardless of the need for thyroid hormone therapy at either one month or two 
months after administration of ISOVUE.  
Hypothyroidism is defined as a TSH > 10 mIU/L (independent of fT4) or as a TSH above the 
normal age/gender-specific reference range and a fT4 below the lower limit of the normal range. 
The proportion of subjects with hypothyroidism at either one month or two months after 
administration of ISOVUE will be estimated and the 95% confidence interval will be presented.

For those subjects with hypothyroidism, follow-up data will be summarized by monitoring time 
points (6 months and 12 months).  
Secondary Endpoint - Analysis for Thyroid Hormone Replacement Therapy 
The proportion of subjects initiated on thyroid hormone replacement therapy will be estimated 
with 95% confidence interval.  
Analysis for Other Safety Issues 
Serious adverse events and non-serious adverse drug reactions will be summarized and listed. 
Sample Size 
The threshold incidence rate (p=0.003734) obtained from the Nauman and Wolff publication1 
will be used as the clinically meaningful value to rule out a safety concern about the proportion 
of children with abnormal TSH after exposure to ISOVUE. Using confidence interval method for 
the probability of observing a rare event, when no case is observed out of n, the upper 95% 
confidence limit of the incidence rate can be estimated by 3/n. If no cases were observed in the 
sample size of 1,482, there is 95% confident to rule out an incidence rate of 0.002025 or higher.  
Considering a 5% drop out rate, 1,560 subjects will be enrolled in the study. 
Interim Analyses 
No interim analysis is planned.
