Overview
Vueway (gadopiclenol) injection is a paramagnetic macrocyclic non-ionic gadolinium-based contrast agent for intravenous use. The chemical name for gadopiclenol is rac- [(2R,2'Ξ,2''Ξ)-2,2',2''-(3,6,9-triaza-κ 3 N 3 ,N 6 ,N 9 -1(2,6)-pyridina-κN 1 -cyclodecaphane-3,6,9-triyl)tris(5-{[(2Ξ)-2,3-dihydroxypropyl]amino}-5-oxopentanoato-κ 3 O 1 ,O 1 ',O 1 '')(3−)]gadolinium with a molecular weight of 970.11 g/mol and a molecular formula of C 35 H 54 GdN 7 O 15 . Vueway is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, clear, colorless to yellow aqueous solution. Each mL contains 485.1 mg (0.5 mmol) of gadopiclenol (containing 0.5 mmol of gadolinium) and the following inactive ingredients: 0.404 mg tetraxetan, 1.211 mg trometamol, hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide (for pH adjustment, if needed), and water for injection. The main physicochemical properties of Vueway are provided in Table 2 . Table 2.

How to use
The recommended dose for adult and pediatric patients, including term neonates, is 0.05 mmol/kg actual body weight (equivalent to 0.1 mL/kg) administered intravenously at approximately 2 mL/sec. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dose of Vueway for adult and pediatric patients, including term neonates, is 0.05 mmol/kg actual body weight (equivalent to 0.1 mL/kg) administered intravenously. 2.2 Administration and Imaging Instructions Administer Vueway as an intravenous bolus injection, manually or by compatible power injector, at approximately 2 mL/sec followed by a flush of 0.9% sodium chloride injection. For pediatric patients, adjust the flow rate and flush volume based on age. Use aseptic technique for all handling and administration of Vueway. Visually inspect Vueway for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Do not use the solution if any particulate matter is present or the solution is discolored. Do not mix with other medications because of the potential for chemical incompatibility. Prime intravenous line before use. Contrast MRI can begin immediately following the injection of Vueway. 2.3 Directions for Use of Single-Dose Vial and Pre-filled Syringe Vial Pierce the rubber stopper only once. Aseptically draw up Vueway into a disposable syringe and use immediately. If solidification occurs in the vial due to cold exposure, bring the…
Side effects
The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in labeling: Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Contraindications ( 4 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Most common adverse reactions (incidence >0.2%) are injection site pain, headache, nausea, injection site warmth and coldness, dizziness, localized swelling, and erythema. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS contact Bracco Diagnostics Inc. at 1-800-257-5181 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 Vueway was evaluated in 1,083 patients who received Vueway at doses ranging from 0.025 mmol/kg (one half the recommended dose) to 0.3 mmol/kg (six times the recommended dose). A total of 744 patients (including 116 pediatric patients) received the recommended dose of 0.05 mmol/kg. Among patients who received the recommended dose, the average age was 49 years (range from less than one month to 88 years) and 55% were female. The race distribution was 80% White, 10% Asian, 6% American Indian or Alaska…
Warnings
Important safety information
WARNING: RISK ASSOCIATED WITH INTRATHECAL USE and NEPHROGENIC SYSTEMIC FIBROSIS Risk Associated with Intrathecal Use Intrathecal administration of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) can cause serious adverse reactions including death, coma, encephalopathy, and seizures. Vueway is not approved for intrathecal use [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis GBCAs increase the risk for nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) among patients with impaired elimination of the drugs. Avoid use of Vueway in these patients unless the diagnostic information is essential and not available with non-contrasted MRI or other modalities. NSF may result in fatal or debilitating fibrosis affecting the skin, muscle and internal organs. The risk for NSF appears highest among patients with: Chronic, severe kidney disease (GFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), or Acute kidney injury. Screen patients for acute kidney injury and other conditions that may reduce renal function. For patients at risk for chronically reduced renal function (e.g. age > 60 years, hypertension, diabetes), estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) through laboratory testing. For patients at highest risk for NSF, do not exceed the recommended Vueway dose and allow a sufficient period of time for elimination of the drug from the body prior to any re-administration [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] .…
