1. What Radelumin is and what it is used for
This medicine is a radiopharmaceutical product intended solely for diagnostic use.
Radelumin contains a substance called Fluoro-PSMA-1007 ( F). Radelumin is used in an imaging procedure known as positron emission tomography (PET) to detect certain types of cancer expressing a protein called prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) in adults with prostate cancer. This procedure aims to:
- Determine whether prostate cancer has spread to lymph nodes and other tissues beyond the prostate gland prior to initiating first-line curative therapy (e.g. therapy involving surgical removal of the prostate gland, radiotherapy)
- Identify cancer cells in cases of suspected recurrence of prostate cancer in patients who have previously received first-line curative therapy. After administration of Fluoro-PSMA-1007 ( F) to the patient, it binds to cells expressing PSMA on their surface, making them visible to the nuclear medicine physician during the PET imaging procedure. This enables the referring physician and the nuclear medicine physician to obtain valuable information about the patient's disease.
The results of the scan will be communicated by the physician who ordered the PET examination.
Administration of Radelumin results in exposure to low doses of radiation. Your referring physician and the nuclear medicine physician have determined that the benefits of this diagnostic procedure using a radiopharmaceutical outweigh the risks associated with radiation exposure.
Administration of this medicine should be supervised by a physician specialized in nuclear medicine.
2. Important information before using Radelumin
Radelumin must not be used:
- if the patient is allergic to [F]PSMA-1007 or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Radelumin, please discuss with the nuclear medicine physician if the patient:
- has kidney or liver problems
- is on a low-sodium diet or is alcohol-dependent (see section "Radelumin contains sodium, potassium and ethanol").
Children and adolescents
Radelumin is not intended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Radelumin with other medicines
Inform the nuclear medicine physician about all medicines currently taken or recently used, as well as any medicines the patient intends to take, because they may affect the interpretation of imaging results.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
This medicine is not indicated for use in women.
Driving and using machines
It is unlikely that Radelumin will affect the ability to drive or operate machinery.
Radelumin contains sodium, potassium and ethanol
This medicine contains up to 50 mg of sodium (the main component of table salt) per dose. This corresponds to 2.5% of the maximum recommended daily dietary sodium intake for adults.
This medicine contains up to 1 mg of potassium per dose, which is less than 1 mmol per dose, meaning the medicine is considered "potassium-free".
This medicine contains up to 80 mg of alcohol (ethanol) per millilitre (ml), equivalent to 800 mg per dose (8% m/v). The amount of alcohol in a 10 ml dose of this medicine is equivalent to less than 20 ml of beer or 8 ml of wine.
3. How to use Radelumin
There are strict regulations governing the use, handling, and disposal of radiopharmaceuticals.
Radelumin will be administered only in specially controlled facilities. This medicinal product will be prepared and administered exclusively by trained and qualified personnel experienced in its safe use. These individuals will take all necessary precautions to ensure the safe use of this medicinal product and will inform the patient about the procedures being performed.
The nuclear medicine physician supervising the examination will determine the dose of Radelumin to be administered to the patient. This will be the smallest amount required to obtain the necessary diagnostic information.
The administered dose for an adult is usually 3.6–4.4 MBq per kg of body weight (MBq stands for megabecquerel and represents a multiple of the unit used to express radioactivity—the becquerel). This means that an adult weighing 70 kg will receive 252–308 MBq.
Administration of Radelumin and the course of the examination
Radelumin is administered by intravenous injection.
Typically, a single injection is sufficient to perform the required imaging procedure.
Duration of the examination
The nuclear medicine physician will inform the patient about the expected duration of the examination. The PET scan usually begins approximately 90–120 minutes after the injection of Radelumin.
After administration of Radelumin:
- For 12 hours after the injection, the patient should avoid close contact with young children and pregnant women.
The nuclear medicine physician will inform the patient if additional special precautions are necessary after administration of this medicinal product. If you have any questions, please consult the nuclear medicine physician.
Administration of a higher than recommended dose of Radelumin
Overdose is unlikely, as Radelumin is administered only as a single dose, the radioactivity of which is precisely determined by the nuclear medicine physician conducting the examination.
However, in the event of an accidental overdose, the supervising nuclear medicine physician will take all necessary steps to ensure that the patient's radiation exposure remains within levels generally accepted in nuclear medicine diagnostics or radiological examinations. These measures will vary depending on the individual patient, clinical condition, and extent of overdose, and may range from simple monitoring to more specific interventions.
If you have any further doubts regarding the use of this medicinal product, please consult the nuclear medicine physician supervising the examination.
4. Possible adverse reactions
Like all medicines, this medicinal product can cause adverse reactions, although not everyone experiences them.
No adverse reactions have been reported to date.
This radiopharmaceutical product delivers a small dose of ionizing radiation, which is associated with a low risk of developing cancer and congenital abnormalities.
Reporting of adverse reactions
If any adverse reactions occur, including any adverse reactions not listed in this leaflet, inform the nuclear medicine physician. Adverse reactions can be reported directly to the Department of Monitoring Adverse Drug Reactions at the Office for Registration of Medicinal Products, Medical Devices and Biocidal Products:
