Overview
11 DESCRIPTION PLUVICTO (lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan) is a radioligand therapeutic agent. Lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan is a PSMA-binding ligand bound to a DOTA chelator radiolabeled with lutetium-177. The chemical name is 2-[4-[2-[[4-[[(2S)-1-[[(5S)-5-carboxy-5-[[(1S)-1,3-dicarboxy propyl]carbamoylamino]pentyl]amino]-3-naphthalen-2-yl-1-oxopropan-2-yl]carbamoyl]cyclohexyl]methylamino]-2-oxoethyl]-4,7,10-tris(carboxylatomethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetrazacyclododec-1-yl]acetate; lutetium-177(3+). The molecular mass is 1216.06 g/mol and the molecular formula is C 49 H 68 177 LuN 9 O 16 . The chemical structure for lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan is shown below: PLUVICTO (lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan) 1,000 MBq/mL (27 mCi/mL) Injection is supplied as a sterile, clear, colorless to slightly yellow solution for intravenous use. Each single-dose vial contains acetic acid (0.30 mg/mL), sodium acetate (0.41 mg/mL), gentisic acid (0.39 mg/mL), sodium ascorbate (50.0 mg/mL), pentetic acid (0.10 mg/mL), and water for injection (q.s. to 1 mL). The pH range of the solution is 4.5 to 7.0. Chemical Structure of lutetium 11.1 Physical Characteristics Lutetium-177 decays to a stable hafnium-177 with a physical half-life of 6.647 days by emitting beta-minus radiation with a maximum energy of 498 keV (79%) and photonic radiation (γ) of 208 keV (11%) and 113 keV (6.4%).

How to use
Select patients for treatment using LOCAMETZ ® or another approved PSMA positron emission tomography (PET) product based on PSMA expression in tumors. ( 2.2 ) Recommended Dosage: Administer 7.4 GBq (200 mCi) every 6 weeks for 6 doses. ( 2.3 ) Dose interruption, reduction, or permanent discontinuation may be required due to adverse reactions. ( 2.4 ) 2.1 Important Safety Instructions PLUVICTO is a radiopharmaceutical; handle with appropriate safety measures to minimize radiation exposure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] . Use waterproof gloves and effective radiation shielding when handling PLUVICTO. Radiopharmaceuticals, including PLUVICTO, should be used by or under the control of healthcare providers who are qualified by specific training and experience in the safe use and handling of radiopharmaceuticals, and whose experience and training have been approved by the appropriate governmental agency authorized to license the use of radiopharmaceuticals. 2.2 Patient Selection Select patients with previously treated mCRPC for treatment with PLUVICTO using LOCAMETZ or another approved PSMA positron emission tomography (PET) product based on PSMA expression in tumors. Additional selection criteria were used in clinical studies [see Clinical Studies (14)] . 2.3 Recommended Dosage The recommended PLUVICTO dosage is 7.4 GBq (200 mCi) intravenously every 6 weeks for 6 doses, or…
Side effects
The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Myelosuppression [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] Renal Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] Most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were decreased lymphocytes, decreased hemoglobin, fatigue, dry mouth, decreased platelets, decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate, nausea, decreased neutrophils, decreased calcium, decreased sodium, increased aspartate aminotransferase, increased alkaline phosphatase, arthralgia, decreased appetite, increased potassium, constipation, and back pain. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation at 1-888-669-6682 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. In the pooled safety population for the PSMAfore and VISION studies (N = 756), the most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were decreased lymphocytes (83%), decreased hemoglobin (65%), fatigue (49%), dry mouth (46%), decreased platelets (40%), decreased estimated…
Warnings
Important safety information
Risk From Radiation Exposure : Minimize radiation exposure during and after treatment with PLUVICTO consistent with institutional good radiation safety practices and patient treatment procedures. Ensure patients increase oral fluid intake and advise patients to void as often as possible to reduce bladder radiation. ( 5.1 ) Myelosuppression : Perform complete blood counts. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue PLUVICTO based on severity. ( 2.4 , 5.2 ) Renal Toxicity : Advise patients to remain well hydrated and to urinate frequently. Perform kidney function laboratory tests. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue PLUVICTO based on severity. ( 2.4 , 5.3 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : Can cause fetal harm. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception. ( 5.4 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) Infertility : PLUVICTO may cause temporary or permanent infertility. ( 5.5 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Risk From Radiation Exposure PLUVICTO contributes to a patient’s overall long-term cumulative radiation exposure. Long-term cumulative radiation exposure is associated with an increased risk for cancer. Minimize radiation exposure to patients, medical personnel, and others during and after treatment with PLUVICTO consistent with institutional good radiation safety practices, patient treatment procedures, Nuclear Regulatory Commission patient-release guidance, and…
