About Gallium Ga-68 PSMA-11

What is this medication? Gallium Ga-68 PSMA-11 is a radioactive diagnostic agent used in conjunction with positron emission tomography imaging. It is specifically designed for men with prostate cancer to help identify the presence and location of cancer cells. The medication works by targeting and binding to the prostate-specific membrane antigen, a protein that is frequently overexpressed on the surface of prostate cancer cells. Once the tracer binds to these cells, it emits a signal that is captured by a PET scanner, providing a detailed map of where the cancer may be located throughout the body. Medical professionals primarily utilize this medication for two clinical purposes. It is often used for the initial staging of patients with high-risk prostate cancer who are suspected of having metastatic disease. Additionally, it is employed in patients who have previously been treated for prostate cancer but are experiencing a rise in serum prostate-specific antigen levels, which suggests the cancer may have returned. By pinpointing exactly where the disease is active, this imaging agent helps doctors make more informed decisions regarding further treatment or surgical interventions.

Dosage and administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Use appropriate aseptic technique and radiation safety handling measures to maintain sterility during all operations involved in the manipulation and administration of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection. ( 2.1 ) The recommended adult dose is 111 MBq to 259 MBq (3 mCi to 7 mCi) as a bolus intravenous injection. ( 2.2 ) A diuretic expected to act within the uptake time period may be administered at the time of radiotracer injection. ( 2.2 ) Initiate imaging 50 to 100 minutes after administration. The patient should void immediately prior to initiation of imaging. Scan should begin caudally and proceed cranially. ( 2.4 ) See full prescribing information for additional preparation, administration, imaging, and radiation dosimetry information. ( 2 ) 2.1 Radiation Safety – Drug Handling Handle Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection with appropriate safety measures to minimize radiation exposure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Use waterproof gloves, effective radiation shielding, and other appropriate safety measures when preparing and handling Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection. Radiopharmaceuticals should be used by or under the control of physicians who are qualified by specific training and experience in the safe use and handling of radionuclides, and whose experience and training have been approved by the appropriate governmental agency authorized to license the use of radionuclides. 2.2 Recommended Dosage and Administration Instructions Recommended Dosage In adults, the recommended amount of radioactivity to be administered for PET is 111 MBq to 259 MBq (3 mCi to 7 mCi) administered as an intravenous bolus injection. Administration Use aseptic technique and radiation shielding when withdrawing and administering Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection. Calculate the necessary volume to administer based on calibration time and required dose. Inspect Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection visually for particulate matter and discoloration before administration. Do not use the drug if the solution contains particulate matter or is discolored. Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection may be diluted with sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. Assay the final dose immediately before administration to the patient in a dose calibrator. After injection of Gallium Ga 68 Gozeotide Injection, administer an intravenous flush of sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP to ensure full delivery of the dose. Dispose of any unused drug in a safe manner in compliance with applicable regulations. Unless contraindicated, a diuretic expected to act within the uptake time period may be administered at the time of radiotracer injection to potentially decrease artifact from radiotracer accumulation in the urinary bladder and ureters. 2.3 Patient Preparation Prior to PET Imaging Instruct patients to drink a sufficient amount of water to ensure adequate hydration prior to administration of Gallium Ga 68 Gozeotide Injection and to continue to drink and void frequently following administration to reduce radiation exposure, particularly during the first hour after administration [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . 2.4 Image Acquisition Position the patient supine with arms above the head. Begin PET scanning 50 to 100 minutes after the intravenous administration of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection. Patients should void immediately prior to image acquisition and that image acquisition should begin at the proximal thighs and proceed cranially to the skull base or skull vertex. Adapt imaging technique according to the equipment used and patient characteristics in order to obtain the best image quality possible. 2.5 Image Interpretation Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide binds to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). Based on the intensity of the signals, PET images obtained using Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection indicate the presence of PSMA in tissues. Lesions should be considered suspicious if uptake is greater than physiologic uptake in that tissue or greater than adjacent background if no physiologic uptake is expected. Tumors that do not bear PSMA will not be visualized. Increased uptake in tumors is not specific for prostate cancer [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . 2.6 Radiation Dosimetry Estimated radiation absorbed doses per injected activity for organs and tissues of adult male patients following an intravenous bolus of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection are shown in Table 1. The effective radiation dose resulting from the administration of 259 MBq (7 mCi) is about 4.4 mSv. The radiation doses for this administered dose to the critical organs, which are the kidneys, urinary bladder, and spleen, are 96.2 mGy, 25.4 mGy, and 16.8 mGy, respectively. These radiation doses are for Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection alone. If CT or a transmission source are used for attenuation correction, the radiation dose will increase by an amount that varies by technique.

Warnings and precautions
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk for misdiagnosis: Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide uptake can be seen in a variety of tumor types and in non-malignant processes. Image interpretation errors can occur with gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET. ( 5.1 ) Radiation risk: Ensure safe handling to protect patients and health care workers from unintentional radiation exposure. ( 2.1 , 5.2 ) 5.1 Risk for Misdiagnosis Image interpretation errors can occur with gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET. A negative image does not rule out the presence of prostate cancer and a positive image does not confirm the presence of prostate cancer. The performance of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection for imaging of biochemically recurrent prostate cancer seems to be affected by serum PSA levels and by site of disease [See Clinical Studies (14) ] . The performance of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection for imaging of metastatic pelvic lymph nodes prior to initial definitive therapy seems to be affected by Gleason score [See Clinical Studies (14) ] . Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide uptake is not specific for prostate cancer and may occur with other types of cancer as well as non-malignant processes such as Paget's disease, fibrous dysplasia, and osteophytosis. Clinical correlation, which may include histopathological evaluation of the suspected prostate cancer site, is recommended. 5.2 Radiation Risks Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection contributes to a patient's overall long-term cumulative radiation exposure. Long-term cumulative radiation exposure is associated with an increased risk for cancer. Ensure safe handling to minimize radiation exposure to the patient and health care workers. Advise patients to hydrate before and after administration and to void frequently after administration [see Dosage and Administration (2.1 , 2.3) ] .
