Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Diagnostic (ferumoxytol, MRI)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients undergo MRI with GBCA per standard of care over 45-60 minutes and then receive ferumoxytol IV followed by MRI over 10 minutes on day 1. Patients may optionally undergo MRI over 30 minutes without any contrast agent on day 2. Each study visit consisting of 2 days may repeat no more frequently than 4 weeks for up to 5 study visits at different stages of the disease as determined by the investigator.
