ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryMean Total Visualization Score of Qualitative Endocardial Border Delineation (EBD) of the 12 Segments of the Left Ventricle (LV) Wall in Standard Apical 4-chamber (A4C) and Apical 2-chamber (A2C)Images were captured during the study echocardiogram (0 to 30 minutes) on Day 1 and blinded image evaluations (BIE) were carried out at the study core laboratory following image transfer
Visualization of each of the 12 segments of the LV wall in standard A4C and A2C views were measured by the qualitative EBD visualization scale: score 0 =no visualization of the LV endocardial border; 1 =poor visualization; 2 =fair visualization; 3 =good/optimal visualization. The total LV EBD score was calculated as the sum of the individual scores assigned to each of the 12 LV wall segment and the total score ranged from 0 (no visualization of the LV endocardial border) to 36 (good/optimal visualization). A higher score indicated better visualization. The total score of qualitative EBD visualization scale were reported by reader (independent blinded), non-contrast and dose levels.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)0- 72 hours
An Adverse Event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily had to have causal relationship with treatment. TEAEs were defined as AEs that starts or worsens at or after the time of first dosing of OPTISON.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Systolic and Diastolic Blood PressureBaseline (pre-dose), and at 10 and 60 minutes post last dose on Day 1
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured from the arm contra-lateral to the site of OPTISON administration whenever possible and before measurement, participants rested for at least 5 minutes (if possible).
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Heart RateBaseline (pre-dose), and at 10 and 60 minutes post last dose on Day 1Before heart rate was measured, participants rested for at least 5 minutes (if possible).
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Respiratory RateBaseline (pre-dose), and at 10 and 60 minutes post last dose on Day 1Before respiratory rate was measured, participants rested for at least 5 minutes (if possible).
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Oxygen Saturation as Measured by Pulse OximetryBaseline (pre-dose), and at 10 and 60 minutes post last dose on Day 1Oxygen saturation was measured by pulse oximetry. Before oxygen saturation was measured, participants rested for at least 5 minutes (if possible).
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormality in Physical Examination FindingsFrom first dose (Day 1) of study drug to 60 minutes post last dose on Day 1
Participants underwent assessments including general appearance, respiratory, cardiovascular and neurological (motor function, level of consciousness, sensory function) examination. Any abnormal clinically significant physical examination findings were based on investigator decision.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in 12-lead Electrocardiograms (ECGs) ParametersBaseline (pre-dose), and at 10 and 30 minutes post last dose on Day 1Change from baseline in PR, QRS, QT, Bazett's formula corrected QT (QTcB), Fridericia's formula corrected QT (QTcF) and RR intervals expressed in millisecond (ms) were reported.
SecondaryNumber of Participants by Degree of Left Ventricular Opacification (LVO) Assessed by Visual Peak Contrast IntensityImages were captured during the study echocardiogram (0 to 30 minutes) on Day 1 and blinded image evaluations (BIE) were carried out at the study core laboratory following image transfer
LVO peak contrast intensity was determined by readers (independent blinded) using a categorical scale as None, Low, Medium, High or Blooming, where, None = Absence of contrast signal; Low = Limited capacity to make a diagnostic assessment; Presence of contrast signal does not improve diagnostic interpretability to a great degree; Medium = Good capacity to make a diagnostic assessment; Contrast signal facilitates diagnostic interpretability to a good degree; High = Optimal capacity to make a diagnostic assessment; Contrast signal facilitates diagnostic interpretability to a high degree; Blooming = Oversaturation of the signal disrupts diagnostic interpretability. Tissue boundaries become challenging to delineate. There may be excessive acoustic shadowing in the far-field of the image. Number of participants by degree of LVO assessed by visual peak contrast intensity was presented by readers and dose levels.
SecondaryNumber of Participants by Grade of Left Ventricular Opacification (LVO) Assessed by Peak Left Ventricular (LV) Contrast FillingImages were captured during the study echocardiogram (0 to 30 minutes) on Day 1 and blinded image evaluations (BIE) were carried out at the study core laboratory following image transfer
Peak LV contrast filling for LVO was categorized as: 0 = none (0 percent \[%\] filling); 1 = faint (around 33% filling); 2 = intermediate (around 67% filling); 3 = full (100% filling) and data were presented by readers (independent blinded) and dose levels.

PP population consisted of all participants who had available non-contrast harmonic images and OPTISON-enhanced echocardiographic images, irrespective of the quality of CE-echo and who did not have an important protocol deviation impacting study primary endpoint. Each participant underwent an echocardiographic procedure first without contrast administration, then intravenous bolus injection of OPTISON.
