This medication is a radiopharmaceutical for diagnostic use only.
Radelumin contains a substance called PSMA-1007 (18F). Radelumin is used in a medical imaging procedure called positron emission tomography (PET) to detect certain types of cancer cells with a protein called prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) in adults with prostate cancer. This is done:
-to determine if prostate cancer has spread to lymph nodes and other tissues outside the prostate before initial curative therapy (e.g., surgical removal of the prostate, radiation therapy)
-to identify cancer cells when there is suspicion of prostate cancer recurrence in patients who have received initial curative therapy
When administered to the patient, PSMA-1007 (18F) binds to cancer cells with PSMA on their surface and makes them visible to the nuclear medicine physician during the PET imaging procedure. This provides valuable information about their disease to their doctor and nuclear medicine physician.
The doctor who ordered the PET will inform them of the results.
The use of Radelumin involves exposure to small amounts of radioactivity. Their doctor and nuclear medicine physician have considered that the benefit of this procedure with the radiopharmaceutical outweighs the risk of their exposure to radiation.
This medication should be administered under the responsibility of a doctor with specialized training in nuclear medicine.
Do not use Radelumin
-if you are allergic to PSMA-1007 (18F) or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section6).
Warnings and precautions
Consult with your nuclear medicine doctor before receiving Radelumin if you:
-have kidney or liver problems.
-are on a low-sodium diet or have alcohol dependence (see the section «Radelumin contains sodium, potassium, and ethanol»).
Children and adolescents
Radelumin is not intended for use in children and adolescents under 18years.
Other medications and Radelumin
Inform your nuclear medicine doctor if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication, as they may interfere with image interpretation.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
This medication is not indicated for use in women.
Driving and operating machines
It is considered unlikely that Radelumin will affect your ability to drive or operate machines.
Radelumin contains sodium, potassium, and ethanol
This medication contains up to 50mg of sodium (main component of table salt/for cooking) per dose. This is equivalent to 2.5% of the maximum daily recommended sodium intake for an adult.
This medication contains up to 1mg of potassium per dose, which is less than 1mmol per dose; essentially «potassium-free».
This medication contains up to 80mg of alcohol (ethanol) per milliliter (ml), which is equivalent to 800mg per dose (8% m/v). The amount per each 10ml dose of this medication is equivalent to less than 20ml of beer or 8ml of wine.
There are strict guidelines for the use, handling, and disposal of radioactive medications.
Radelumin will only be used in specially controlled areas. This medication will only be handled and administered by trained and qualified personnel who will use it safely. These individuals will take special care in the safe use of this medication and will inform you of their actions.
The nuclear physician overseeing the procedure will decide on the amount of Radelumin to be used in your case. This will be the minimum amount necessary to obtain the desired information.
The generally recommended dose for an adult is 3.6-4.4 MBq per kg of body weight. The MegaBecquerel (MBq) is the unit used to express radioactivity. This means that for an adult weighing 70 kg, 252-308 MBq will be administered.
Administration of Radelumin and procedure performance
Radelumin is administered intravenously in the form of an injection into a vein.
One injection is sufficient to carry out the study your doctor needs.
Procedure duration
Your nuclear physician will inform you about the usual duration of the procedure. PET will usually begin between 90 and 120 minutes after administration of the Radelumin injection.
After Radelumin administration
-Avoid all direct contact with small children and pregnant women during the 12 hours following the injection.
Your nuclear physician will inform you if you need to take any other special precautions after receiving the medication. Ask your nuclear physician if you have any doubts.
If you are administered too much Radelumin
It is unlikely that an overdose will occur because you will only receive one Radelumin injection, whose radioactivity has been precisely determined by the nuclear physician in charge of your examination.
However, if an overdose were to occur, the nuclear physician in charge of your examination will take the necessary measures to ensure that your body's exposure to radiation remains at a generally accepted level for nuclear medicine or radiology diagnostic exams. These measures will vary from patient to patient depending on their clinical status and the degree of overdose and may be limited to simple follow-up.
If you have any other questions about the use of this medication, ask the nuclear physician overseeing the procedure.
Like all medications, this medication may produce adverse effects, although not all people will experience them.
As of the current date, no adverse effects have been reported.
The administration of this radiopharmaceutical involves receiving small amounts of ionizing radiation with a low risk of developing cancer and hereditary defects.
Reporting Adverse Effects
If you experience adverse effects, inform the nuclear physician, even if they are possible adverse effects not listed in this prospectus. You can also report them directly through the Spanish System for Pharmacovigilance of Medicinal Products for Human Use:www.notificaRAM.es.
By reporting adverse effects, you can contribute to providing more information about the safety of this medication.
This medication does not need to be stored by the patient. This medication is stored under the responsibility of the specialist in appropriate facilities. Storage of radiopharmaceuticals will be carried out in accordance with national regulations on radioactive materials.
