1 Axumin (fluciclovine F 18) Injection Case Studies November, 2016
2 Axumin (fluciclovine F 18) Injection Indication Axumin (fluciclovine F 18) injection is indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in men with suspected prostate cancer recurrence based on elevated blood prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels following prior treatment. 1
3 Axumin (fluciclovine F 18) Injection Important Safety Information Image interpretation errors can occur with fluciclovine PET imaging. A negative image does not rule out recurrent prostate cancer and a positive image does not confirm its presence. The performance of fluciclovine seems to be affected by PSA levels. Fluciclovine uptake may occur with other cancers and benign prostatic hypertrophy in primary prostate cancer. Clinical correlation, which may include histopathological evaluation, is recommended. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur in patients who receive fluciclovine. Emergency resuscitation equipment and personnel should be immediately available. Fluciclovine use contributes to a patient s overall long-term cumulative radiation exposure, which is associated with an increased risk of cancer. Safe handling practices should be used to minimize radiation exposure to the patient and health care providers. Adverse reactions were reported in 1% of subjects during clinical studies with fluciclovine. The most common adverse reactions were injection site pain, injection site erythema and dysgeusia. To report suspected adverse reactions to Axumin, call AXUMIN1 ( ) or contact FDA at FDA-1088 or Please see full prescribing information at 2
4 Important Information These case studies are being provided to you as examples of the images and information available following Axumin PET/CT imaging in patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. The responsibility for the accurate and timely acquisition and interpretation of images using Axumin PET/CT scanning rests with the nuclear medicine physician or radiologist supervising the PET/CT imaging facility. These case studies are not intended to substitute for the independent medical judgment of the physician(s) responsible for the individual patient s management, nor are they a guarantee of any specific clinical results. Incidental findings are noted in some of the cases, as examples of potential, unanticipated abnormalities that may be identified during interpretation of Axumin images. The diagnostic efficacy of Axumin for the identification of these incidental abnormalities has not been established and confirmatory testing may be considered appropriate. 3
