About PYLARIFY® (piflufolastat F
18) InjectionPYLARIFY® (piflufolastat F 18) injection
(also known as 18F-DCFPyL or PyL) is a fluorinated small
molecule PSMA-targeted PET imaging agent that enables visualization
of lymph nodes, bone and soft tissue metastases to determine the
presence or absence of recurrent and/or metastatic prostate cancer.
For men with prostate cancer, PYLARIFY PET combines the accuracy of
PET imaging, the precision of PSMA targeting and the clarity of an
F 18 radioisotope for superior diagnostic performance. The
recommended PYLARIFY dose is 333 MBq (9 mCi) with an acceptable
range of 296 MBq to 370 MBq (8 mCi to 10 mCi), administered as a
bolus intravenous injection.1-6
PYLARIFY has made a profound impact on the lives of patients
battling prostate cancer. It is the number one ordered PSMA PET
imaging agent in the U.S., and is a proven diagnostic backed
by real-world experience, including in over 400,000 scans across 48
states.
PYLARIFY® (piflufolastat
F 18) Injection
Indication
PYLARIFY® (piflufolastat F 18) Injection is a radioactive
diagnostic agent indicated for positron emission tomography (PET)
of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in
men with prostate cancer:
- with suspected metastasis who are
candidates for initial definitive therapy.
- with suspected recurrence based on
elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.
Important Safety Information
Contraindications
None.
Warnings and Precautions
Risk of Image MisinterpretationImaging
interpretation errors can occur with PYLARIFY imaging. 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 PYLARIFY for imaging of patients with
biochemical evidence of recurrence of prostate cancer seems to be
affected by serum PSA levels. The performance of PYLARIFY for
imaging of metastatic pelvic lymph nodes prior to initial
definitive therapy seems to be affected by risk factors such as
Gleason score and tumor stage. PYLARIFY uptake is not specific for
prostate cancer and may occur with other types of cancer as well as
non-malignant processes and in normal tissues. Clinical
correlation, which may include histopathological evaluation of the
suspected prostate cancer site, is recommended.
Hypersensitivity ReactionsMonitor patients for
hypersensitivity reactions, particularly patients with a history of
allergy to other drugs and foods. Reactions may be delayed. Always
have trained staff and resuscitation equipment available.
Radiation RisksDiagnostic radiopharmaceuticals,
including PYLARIFY, expose patients to radiation. Radiation
exposure is associated with a dose-dependent increased risk of
cancer. Ensure safe handling and preparation procedures to protect
patients and health care workers from unintentional radiation
exposure. Advise patients to hydrate before and after
administration and to void frequently after administration.
Adverse ReactionsThe most frequently reported
adverse reactions were headaches, dysgeusia and fatigue, occurring
at rate of ≤2% during clinical studies with PYLARIFY. In addition,
a delayed hypersensitivity reaction was reported in one patient
(0.2%) with a history of allergic reactions.
Drug interactions
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and other therapies targeting
the androgen pathway, such as androgen receptor antagonists, may
result in changes in uptake of PYLARIFY in prostate cancer. The
effect of these therapies on performance of PYLARIFY PET has not
been established.To report suspected adverse reactions for
PYLARIFY, call 1-800-362-2668 or contact FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088
or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
