Illuccix Kit
FDA Label NDC 74725-100

ILLUCCIX®, after radiolabeling with Ga 68, is indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in men with prostate cancer:

• with suspected metastasis who are candidates for initial definitive therapy.
• with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.

Handle Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection with appropriate safety measures to minimize radiation exposure [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. Use waterproof gloves, effective radiation shielding, and other appropriate safety measures when preparing and handling Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection.

Radiopharmaceuticals should be used by or under the control of physicians who are qualified by specific training and experience in the safe use and handling of radionuclides, and whose experience and training have been approved by the appropriate governmental agency authorized to license the use of radionuclides.

Recommended Dosage

In adults, the recommended amount of radioactivity to be administered for PET is 111 MBq to 259 MBq (3 mCi to 7 mCi) administered as an intravenous bolus injection.

Administration

• Use aseptic technique and radiation shielding when withdrawing and administering Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection.
• Calculate the necessary volume to administer based on calibration time and required dose.
• Inspect Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection visually for particulate matter and discoloration before administration. Only use solutions that are clear, colorless or at most slightly yellow, and without visible particles.
• Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection may be diluted with sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP.
• Assay the final dose in a dose calibrator immediately before administration to the patient.
• After injection of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection, administer an intravenous flush of sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP to ensure full delivery of the dose.
• Dispose of any unused drug in a safe manner in compliance with applicable regulations.
• Unless contraindicated, a diuretic expected to act within the uptake time period may be administered at the time of radiotracer injection to potentially decrease artifact from radiotracer accumulation in the urinary bladder and ureters.

Instruct patients to drink a sufficient amount of water to ensure adequate hydration prior to administration of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection and to continue to drink and void frequently following administration to reduce radiation exposure, particularly during the first hour after administration [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

ILLUCCIX is supplied as a 3-vial kit in two different configurations [see Dosage Forms and Strength (3)] for preparation of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection with eluate from one of the following (see below for specific instructions for use with each Ga 68 source):

Table1: Specifications for the Radiolabeled Imaging Product (Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection)

Perform one of the following:

Cutting Technique

• Pour ammonium acetate 1M/methanol (1/1 V/V) solution to a depth of 3 mm to 4 mm in the developing chamber, cover the chamber and allow it to equilibrate.
• Draw a pencil line at 1 cm from the bottom of the iTLC strip, and a dotted line 5 cm from the pencil line. Apply a drop of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide at the center of the pencil line.
• Place the iTLC strip in the developing chamber and allow it to develop for a distance of 10 cm from the point of application.
• Cut the iTLC strip following the dotted line and measure each piece with the radioactivity dose calibrator.
• Calculate the quantity (in percent) of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide in the solution using the formula:

% Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide=(Activity top piece)/(Activity bottom piece+Activity top piece) ×100

Scanning Technique

• Pour ammonium acetate 1M/methanol (1/1 V/V) solution to a depth of 3 mm to 4 mm in the developing chamber, cover the chamber and allow it to equilibrate.
• Draw a pencil line at 1 cm from the bottom of the iTLC strip and apply a drop of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide at the center of the pencil line.
• Place the iTLC strip in the developing chamber and allow it to develop for a distance of 10 cm from the point of application.
• Scan the iTLC with a radiometric iTLC scanner.
• Calculate the quantity (in percent) of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide in the solution by integration of the peaks on the chromatogram.
• The retention factor (Rf) specifications are:

Free and colloidal Ga 68 species, Rf = 0 to 0.1,

Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide, Rf = 0.6 to 1.

Position the patient supine with arms above the head. Begin PET scanning 50 minutes to 100 minutes after the intravenous administration of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection. Patients should void immediately prior to image acquisition and image acquisition should begin at the proximal thighs and proceed cranially to the skull base or skull vertex. Adapt imaging technique according to the equipment used and patient characteristics in order to obtain the best image quality possible.

Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide binds to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). Based on the intensity of the signals, PET images obtained using gallium Ga 68 gozetotide indicate the presence of PSMA in tissues. Lesions should be considered suspicious if uptake is greater than physiologic uptake in that tissue or greater than adjacent background if no physiologic uptake is expected. Tumors that do not bear PSMA will not be visualized. Increased uptake in tumors is not specific for prostate cancer [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Estimated radiation absorbed doses per injected activity for organs and tissues of adult male patients following an intravenous bolus of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection are shown in Table 2.

The effective radiation dose resulting from the administration of 259 MBq (7 mCi) is about 4.4 mSv. The radiation doses for this administered dose to the critical organs, which are the kidneys, urinary bladder, and spleen, are 96.2 mGy, 25.4 mGy, and 16.8 mGy, respectively.

These radiation doses are for Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection alone. If CT or a transmission source are used for attenuation correction, the radiation dose will increase by an amount that varies by technique.

Table 2: Estimated Radiation Absorbed Dose per Injected Activity in Selected Organs and Tissues of Adults after Intravenous Administration of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection

ILLUCCIX is supplied as a kit for preparation of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection. Each kit contains:

• Vial 1 (Gozetotide Vial): 25 mcg of gozetotide and 10 mcg of D-mannose (stabilizer) as a lyophilized powder.
• Vial 2 (Acetate Buffer Vial): 150 mg anhydrous sodium acetate in HCl buffer, provided as either vial 2A or vial 2B, depending on Ga 68 source used.
• Vial 3 (Sterile Vacuumed Reaction Vial): a sterile, evacuated vial that serves as the collection vial for Ga 68 chloride and radiolabeling reaction.

Ga 68 is obtained from one of the following sources:

• Cyclotron via GE FASTlab.
• Eckert & Ziegler GalliaPharm Ge 68/Ga -68 generator
• IRE Galli Eo Ge 68/Ga 68 generator.

After reconstitution and pH adjustment with acetate buffer and radiolabeling with Ga 68, Vial 3 is a multiple dose vial containing up to 1,850 MBq (50 mCi) of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection in 7.5 mL at a strength of up to 247 MBq (6.7 mCi) per mL.

None

Image interpretation errors can occur with gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET. A negative image does not rule out the presence of prostate cancer and a positive image does not confirm the presence of prostate cancer. The performance of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide for imaging of biochemically recurrent prostate cancer seems to be affected by serum PSA levels and by site of disease [see Clinical Studies (14)]. The performance of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide for imaging of metastatic pelvic lymph nodes prior to initial definitive therapy seems to be affected by Gleason score [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide uptake is not specific for prostate cancer and may occur with other types of cancer as well as non-malignant processes such as Paget’s disease, fibrous dysplasia, and osteophytosis. Clinical correlation, which may include histopathological evaluation of the suspected prostate cancer site, is recommended.

Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide contributes to a patient’s overall long-term cumulative radiation exposure. Long-term cumulative radiation exposure is associated with an increased risk for cancer. Ensure safe handling to minimize radiation exposure to the patient and health care workers. Advise patients to hydrate before and after administration and to void frequently after administration [see Dosage and Administration (2.1, 2.3)].

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.

The safety of ILLUCCIX has been established based on studies of another formulation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide in patients with prostate cancer [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Below is a display of the adverse reactions in these studies.

The safety of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide was evaluated in 960 patients, each receiving one dose of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide. The average injected activity was 188.7 ± 40.7 MBq (5.1 ± 1.1 mCi). No serious adverse reactions were attributed to gallium Ga 68 gozetotide. The most commonly reported adverse reactions were nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness, occurring at a rate of < 1%.

Androgen deprivation therapy and other therapies targeting the androgen pathway

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and other therapies targeting the androgen pathway, such as androgen receptor antagonists, can result in changes in uptake of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide in prostate cancer. The effect of these therapies on performance of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET has not been established.

Risk Summary

ILLUCCIX is not indicated for use in females. There are no available data with gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. All radiopharmaceuticals, including ILLUCCIX, have the potential to cause fetal harm depending on the fetal stage of development and the magnitude of the radiation dose. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with gallium Ga 68 gozetotide.

Risk Summary

ILLUCCIX is not indicated for use in females. There are no data on the presence of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide in human milk, the effect on the breastfed infant, or the effect on milk production.

The safety and effectiveness of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide in pediatric patients have not been established.

The efficacy of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET in geriatric patients with prostate cancer is based on data from two prospective studies [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Most patients in these trials were 65 years of age or older (72%). The efficacy and safety profiles of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide appear similar in younger adult and geriatric patients with prostate cancer, although the number of younger adult patients in the trials was not large enough to allow definitive comparison.

In the event of an overdose of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide, reduce the radiation absorbed dose to the patient where possible by increasing the elimination of the drug from the body using hydration and frequent bladder voiding. A diuretic might also be considered. If possible, an estimate of the radiation effective dose given to the patient should be made.

ILLUCCIX, a radioactive diagnostic agent, is supplied as a sterile, multiple-dose kit for the preparation of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection for intravenous use. Gozetotide is also known as PSMA-11.

Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide is a radioconjugate composed of a human prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeting ligand peptide conjugated via the acyclic radiometal chelator, N,N’-bis [2-hydroxy-5-(carboxyethyl)benzyl] ethylenediamine-N,N’-diacetic acid (HBED-CC) to the radioisotope Ga 68. The amino acid sequence of the gozetotide peptide is Glu-NH-CO-NH-Lys(Ahx), (Ahx = 6-aminohexanoic acid). Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide has a molecular weight of 1011.9 g/mol and its chemical structure is shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Chemical Structure of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide

ILLUCCIX is supplied as a 3-vial kit which contains the non-radioactive ingredients needed to produce Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection. There are two configurations available to allow preparation of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection using Ga 68 from different generator or cyclotron sources [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16.1)]. The prepared Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection for intravenous use is a sterile, pyrogen free, clear, colorless, buffered solution with a pH between 4.0 to 5.0.

Table 3, Table 4 and Table 5 display the principal radiation emission data, radiation attenuation by lead shielding, and physical decay of Ga 68.

Table 3: Principal Radiation Emission Data (>1%)

Table 4: Radiation Attenuation of 511 keV Photons by Lead (Pb) Shielding

Table 5: Physical Decay Chart for Ga 68

Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide binds to PSMA. It binds to cells that express PSMA, including malignant prostate cancer cells, which usually overexpress PSMA. Gallium 68 (Ga 68) is a β+ emitting radionuclide that allows positron emission tomography.

The relationship between gallium Ga 68 gozetotide plasma concentrations and successful imaging was not explored in clinical trials.

Distribution

Intravenously injected gallium Ga 68 gozetotide is cleared from the blood and is accumulated preferentially in the liver (15%), kidneys (7%), spleen (2%), and salivary glands (0.5%). Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide uptake is also seen in the adrenals and prostate. There is no uptake in the cerebral cortex or in the heart, and usually lung uptake is low.

Elimination

A total of 14% of the injected dose is excreted in urine in the first 2 hours post-injection.

No long-term animal studies were performed to evaluate the carcinogenicity potential of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide.

The safety and efficacy of ILLUCCIX have been established based on studies of another formulation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide in patients with prostate cancer. Below is a display of the results of these two prospective, open-label studies (PSMA-PreRP and PSMA-BCR).

PSMA-PreRP

This two-center study enrolled 325 patients with biopsy-proven prostate cancer who were considered candidates for prostatectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. All enrolled patients met at least one of the following criteria: serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) of at least 10 ng/mL, tumor stage cT2b or greater, or Gleason score greater than 6. Each patient received a single gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET/CT or PET/MR from mid-thigh to skull base.

A total of 123 patients (38%) proceeded to standard-of-care prostatectomy and template pelvic lymph node dissection and had sufficient histopathology data for evaluation (evaluable patients). Three members of a pool of six central readers independently interpreted each PET scan for the presence of abnormal gallium Ga 68 gozetotide uptake in pelvic lymph nodes located in the common iliac, external iliac, internal iliac, and obturator subregions bilaterally as well as in any other pelvic location. The readers were blinded to all clinical information except for the history of prostate cancer prior to definitive treatment. Extrapelvic sites and the prostate gland itself were not analyzed in this study. For each patient, gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET results and reference standard histopathology obtained from dissected pelvic lymph nodes were compared by region (left hemipelvis, right hemipelvis, and other).

For the 123 evaluable patients, the mean age was 65 years (range 45 to 76 years), and 89% were white. The median serum PSA was 11.8 ng/mL. The summed Gleason score was 7 for 44%, 8 for 20%, and 9 for 31% of the patients, with the remainder of the patients having Gleason scores of 6 or 10.

Table 6 compares majority PET reads to pelvic lymph node histopathology results at the patient-level with region matching, such that at least one true positive region defines a true positive patient. As shown, approximately 24% of subjects studied were found to have pelvic nodal metastases based on histopathology (95% confidence interval: 17%, 32%).

Table 6: Patient-Level Performance of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide PET for Detection of Pelvic Lymph Node Metastasis* in the PSMA-PreRP Study (n=123)

*with region matching where at least one true positive region defines a true positive patient

**PPV: positive predictive value, NPV: negative predictive value

Among the pool of six readers, sensitivity ranged from 36% to 60%, specificity from 83% to 96%, positive predictive value from 38% to 80%, and negative predictive value from 80% to 88%.

In an exploratory subgroup analysis based on summed Gleason score, there was a numerical trend toward more true positives in patients with Gleason score of 8 or higher compared to those with Gleason score of 7 or lower.

An exploratory analysis was performed to estimate the sensitivity and specificity for pelvic nodal metastasis detection in all scanned patients, including the patients who were lacking histopathology reference standard. An imputation method was used based on patient-specific factors. This exploratory analysis resulted in an imputed sensitivity of 47%, with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 38% to 55%, and an imputed specificity of 74%, with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 68% to 80% for all patients imaged with gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET.

PSMA-BCR

This two-center study enrolled 635 patients with biochemical evidence of recurrent prostate cancer after definitive therapy, defined by serum PSA of >0.2 ng/mL more than 6 weeks after prostatectomy or by an increase in serum PSA of at least 2 ng/mL above nadir after definitive radiotherapy. All patients received a single gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET/CT or PET/MR from mid-thigh to skull base. Three members of a pool of nine independent central readers evaluated each scan for the presence and regional location (20 subregions grouped into four regions) of abnormal gallium Ga 68 gozetotide uptake suggestive of recurrent prostate cancer. The readers were blinded to all clinical information other than type of primary therapy and most recent serum PSA level.

A total of 469 patients (74%) had at least one positive region detected by gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET majority read. The distribution of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET positive regions was 34% bone, 25% prostate bed, 25% pelvic lymph node, and 17% extrapelvic soft tissue. Two hundred and ten patients had composite reference standard information collected in a PET positive region (evaluable patients), consisting of at least one of the following: histopathology, imaging (bone scintigraphy, CT, or MRI) acquired at baseline or within 12 months after gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET, or serial serum PSA. Composite reference standard information for gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET negative regions was not systematically collected in this study.

In the 210 evaluable patients, the mean age was 70 years (range 49 to 88 years) and 82% were 65 years of age or older. White patients made up 90% of the group. The median serum PSA was 3.6 ng/mL. Prior treatment included radical prostatectomy in 64% and radiotherapy in 73%.

Of the 210 evaluable patients, 192 patients (91%) were found to be true positive in one or more regions against the composite reference standard (95% confidence interval: 88%, 95%). Among the pool of nine readers used in the study, the proportion of patients who were true positive in one or more regions ranged from 82% to 97%. The prostate bed had the lowest proportion of true positive results at the region-level (76% versus 96% for non-prostate regions).

An exploratory analysis was also performed in which gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET positive patients who lacked reference standard information were imputed using an estimated likelihood that at least one location-matched PET positive lesion was reference standard positive based on patient-specific factors. In this exploratory analysis, 340 of 475 patients (72%) were imputed as true positive in one or more regions (95% confidence interval: 68%, 76%).

In another exploratory analysis using the same imputation approach for PET positive patients who lacked reference standard information, 340 of 635 patients (54%) were correctly detected as true positive (95% confidence interval: 50%, 57%) among all BCR patients who received a PET scan, whether it was read as positive or negative.

The likelihood of identifying a gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET positive lesion in this study generally increased with higher serum PSA level. Table 7 shows the patient-level gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET results stratified by serum PSA level. The mean time between PSA measurement and PET scan was 40 days with a range of 0 to 367 days. Percent PET positivity was calculated as the proportion of patients with a positive gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET out of all patients scanned. Percent PET positivity includes patients determined to be either true positive or false positive as well as those in whom such determination was not made due to the absence of composite reference standard data.

• Vial 1 (Gozetotide Vial): contains 25 mcg gozetotide and 10 mcg D-mannose as a lyophilized powder in a sterile 10 mL vial with a blue flip-off cap (NDC 74725-101-25).
• Vial 2 (Acetate Buffer Vial, Configuration A): contains 150 mg anhydrous sodium acetate in 0.292 M HCl solution (2.5 mL volume) in a sterile 10 mL vial with a red flip off cap (NDC 74725-102-25).
• Vial 3 (Sterile Vacuumed Reaction Vial): an evacuated sterile vial with white flip off cap used to collect Ga 68 chloride from generators or cyclotron and radiolabeling reaction; a multiple-dose vial after radiolabeling.

ILLUCCIX Configuration “B” (NDC 74725-100-64) is intended for use with Ga 68 produced from an IRE Galli Eo Ge 68/Ga 68 generator and includes:

• Vial 1 (Gozetotide Vial): contains 25 mcg gozetotide and 10 mcg D-mannose as a lyophilized powder in a sterile 10 mL vial with a blue flip-off cap (NDC 74725-101-25).
• Vial 2 (Acetate Buffer Vial, Configuration B): contains 150 mg anhydrous sodium acetate in 0.175 M HCl solution (6.4 mL volume) in a sterile 10 mL vial with a green flip off cap (NDC 74725-103-64).
• Vial 3 (Sterile Vacuumed Reaction Vial): an evacuated sterile vial with white flip off cap used to collect Ga 68 chloride from generator and radiolabeling reaction; a multiple-dose vial after radiolabeling.

The radionuclide is not part of the kit. Before radiolabeling with Ga 68, the contents of this kit are not radioactive.

Storage and Handling

Store ILLUCCIX refrigerated upright in the original packaging at 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F).Do not freeze

After radiolabeling, keep Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection upright with appropriate shielding to protect from radiation at ambient temperature (25°C (77°F); excursions permitted to 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F)). Use Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection within 4 hours of preparation.

This preparation is approved for use by persons under license by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or the relevant regulatory authority of an Agreement State.

Adequate Hydration

Instruct patients to drink a sufficient amount of water to ensure adequate hydration before their PET study and urge them to drink and urinate as often as possible during the first hours following the administration of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection, in order to reduce radiation exposure [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
