The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new drug application

for Gastromark, a gastrointestinal MRI contrast agent developed

by Advanced Magnetics of Cambridge, MA. Gastromark is a superparamagnetic

under the trade name Lumirem. Gastromark will be priced at about

$25 per 300 mL, according to Jerome Goldstein, president and CEO

of Advanced Magnetics. Either 600 or 900 mL will likely be administered,

bringing the total cost to between $50 and $75 per patient.
