Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Recommended dose of LUMISIGHT is 1 mg/kg by intravenous injection over 3 minutes administered 2 hours to 6 hours prior to imaging. ( 2.1 ) See Full Prescribing Information for instructions on preparation, administration, and imaging. ( 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 ) 2.1 Recommended Dose The recommended dose of LUMISIGHT is 1 mg/kg actual body weight by intravenous injection over 3 minutes administered 2 hours to 6 hours prior to imaging. 2.2 Preparation of LUMISIGHT Important Preparation Information Prior to reconstitution, store vials in the freezer at -25°C to -15°C (-13°F to 5°F). Protect from light. Use aseptic technique for the preparation of LUMISIGHT. The recommended dose depends on the individual patient’s weight.
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically important adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Anaphylaxis and Other Serious Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Most common adverse reactions (≥1%) were hypersensitivity and chromaturia. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Lumicell at 1-833-458-6387 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 practice.
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Blue dyes used for SLN mapping procedures generate a fluorescent signal that interferes with the signal from LUMISIGHT when injected into the breast prior to imaging with LUMISIGHT. The potential of other dyes to interfere with LUMISIGHT imaging has not been evaluated. Avoid administration of dyes used for SLN mapping procedure before imaging the lumpectomy cavity in patients receiving LUMISIGHT.
Warnings
WARNING: ANAPHYLAXIS AND OTHER SERIOUS HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur during or following administration of LUMISIGHT. Anaphylaxis occurred in 4/726 (0.6%) of patients in clinical studies. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk of Misdiagnosis : Absence of signal in the surgical field does not rule out the presence of cancer. Positive signal may be seen in non-cancerous tissue. ( 5.2 ) Interference from Dyes Used for Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping : Avoid administration of dyes before imaging the lumpectomy cavity in patients receiving LUMISIGHT. ( 5.3 , 7 ) 5.1 Anaphylaxis and Other Serious Hypersensitivity Reactions Prepare for the possibility of drug hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylaxis), which can occur during or following administration, and take the necessary precautions. In clinical studies, 4 of 726 (0.6%) patients treated with LUMISIGHT experienced signs and symptoms consistent with anaphylaxis. The onset was during administration in three patients. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS LUMISIGHT is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to pegulicianine. Reactions have included anaphylaxis [see Warning and Precautions (5.1) ] . History of hypersensitivity reaction to pegulicianine. ( 4 )
