Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE NEURACEQ is indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) of the brain to estimate amyloid beta neuritic plaque density in adults with cognitive impairment for: Evaluation of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other causes of cognitive decline Selection of patients who are indicated for amyloid beta-directed therapy as described in the prescribing information of the therapeutic products NEURACEQ is a radioactive diagnostic drug indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) of the brain to estimate amyloid beta neuritic plaque density in adults with cognitive impairment for: Evaluation of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other causes of cognitive decline Selection of patients who are indicated for amyloid beta-directed therapy as described in the prescribing information...
Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommended amount of radioactivity is 300 MBq (8.1 mCi) administered as a slow single intravenous bolus (6 sec/mL) in a total volume of up to 10 mL. (2.2) Follow the injection with an intravenous flush of approximately 10 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride injection. (2.2) Obtain 15-minute to 20-minute PET images starting approximately 45 minutes to 130 minutes after drug administration. (2.3) See full prescribing information for image interpretation and radiation dosimetry. (2.4, 2.5) 2.1 Radiation Safety - Drug Handling Handle NEURACEQ with appropriate safety measures to minimize radiation exposure during administration [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )].
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 1%) were injection site pain, injection site erythema, and injection site irritation (6.1). To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Lantheus Biosciences Ltd. at 1‑833-491-2524 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. The safety of NEURACEQ was evaluated in 872 adult subjects who received NEURACEQ by intravenous injection in clinical trials.
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk of Image Misinterpretation and Other Errors: Image interpretation errors have been observed. (5.1) Radiation Risk: NEURACEQ contributes to a patient’s long-term cumulative radiation exposure. Ensure safe drug handling to protect patients and health care providers from unintentional radiation exposure. Advise patients to hydrate before and after administration and to void frequently after administration. (2.1, 2.2, 5.2) 5.1 Risk of Image Misinterpretation and Other Errors Errors may occur in the estimation of brain amyloid beta neuritic plaque density during NEURACEQ image interpretation [ see Clinical Studies ( 14 ) ]. The use of clinical information in the interpretation of NEURACEQ images has not been evaluated and may lead to an inaccurate assessment. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None None.
Storage
16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING How Supplied NEURACEQ (florbetaben F 18 injection) is a clear solution supplied at a concentration of 50 MBq/mL to 5,000 MBq/mL (1.4 mCi/mL to 135 mCi/mL) of florbetaben F 18 in up to 50 mL volume at EOS in a shielded multiple-dose glass vial (NDC 54828-001-50).
