  • 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE

    POSLUMA 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.
  • 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

    2.1 Radiation Safety - Drug Handling

    Handle POSLUMA with safety measures to minimize radiation exposure [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2)] . Use waterproof gloves, effective radiation shielding, including syringe shields, and other appropriate safety measures when handling and administering POSLUMA.

    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.

    2.2 Recommended Dose and Administration Instructions

    Recommended Dose

    The recommended amount of radioactivity to be administered in adults is 296 MBq (8 mCi) as an intravenous bolus injection.

    Preparation and Administration Instructions

    • Inspect POSLUMA visually for particulate matter and discoloration before administration. Do not use the drug if the solution contains particulate matter or is discolored.
    • Use aseptic technique and radiation shielding when withdrawing and administering POSLUMA.
    • Calculate the necessary volume to administer based on calibration time and required dose.
    • The recommended maximum volume of undiluted POSLUMA is 5 mL.
    • POSLUMA may be diluted with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP.
    • Assay the dose in a dose calibrator before administration.

    Post Administration Instructions

    • After the POSLUMA 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.

    2.3 Patient Preparation

    Instruct patients to drink water prior to administration of POSLUMA to ensure adequate hydration and to continue drinking and voiding frequently for the first few hours following administration to reduce radiation exposure.

    2.4 Image Acquisition

    • Patients should void immediately prior to imaging.
    • Position the patient supine with arms above the head.
    • Begin image acquisition approximately 60 minutes after POSLUMA injection.
    • Image acquisition should start from mid-thigh and proceed to the base of the skull.
    • Scan duration is approximately 20 minutes depending on the number of bed positions and acquisition time per bed position (typically 3 minutes). Adapt imaging technique according to the equipment used and patient characteristics in order to obtain the best image quality possible.

    2.5 Image Display and Interpretation

    POSLUMA binds to PSMA. PET images obtained using POSLUMA indicate the presence of PSMA in tissues [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1)] . 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 express PSMA will not be visualized. Increased uptake in tumors is not specific for prostate cancer [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1)].

    2.6 Radiation Dosimetry

    Estimated absorbed radiation doses for adult patients following intravenous injection of POSLUMA are shown in Table 1. The effective radiation dose resulting from the administration of the recommended activity of 296 MBq of POSLUMA is 4.1 mSv. The radiation absorbed doses to the critical organs of adrenal glands, kidneys, and submandibular glands for the recommended activity of 296 MBq are 54.3 mGy, 51 mGy, and 43.8 mGy, respectively. When PET/CT is performed, exposure to radiation will increase by an amount dependent on the settings used in the CT acquisition.

    Table 1: Estimated Radiation Absorbed Doses in Organs/Tissues in Adults who Received POSLUMA

    *The absorbed dose value reflects self-irradiation only; no dose contribution from other regions to the glands is added. **A 1-hour bladder voiding interval is assumed.

    Injection: 296 MBq/mL to 5,846 MBq/mL (8 mCi/mL to 158 mCi/mL) as flotufolastat F 18 gallium in approximately 25 mL at end of synthesis supplied as a clear, colorless solution in a multiple-dose vial.

  • 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS

    None.

  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    5.1 Risk of Image Misinterpretation

    Image interpretation errors can occur with POSLUMA 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 POSLUMA for imaging metastatic pelvic lymph nodes in patients prior to initial definitive therapy seems to be affected by serum PSA levels and risk grouping [See Clinical Studies ( 14.1)] . The performance of POSLUMA for imaging patients with biochemical evidence of recurrence of prostate cancer seems to be affected by serum PSA levels [See Clinical Studies ( 14.2)] . Flotufolastat F 18 uptake is not specific for prostate cancer and may occur in other types of cancer, in non-malignant processes, and in normal tissues. Clinical correlation, which may include histopathological evaluation, is recommended.

    Risk of Image Misinterpretation in Patients with Suspected Prostate Cancer Recurrence

    The interpretation of POSLUMA PET may differ depending on imaging readers, particularly in the prostate/prostate bed region [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2)]. Because of the associated risk of false positive interpretation, consider multidisciplinary consultation and histopathological confirmation when clinical decision-making hinges on flotufolastat F18 uptake only in the prostate/prostate bed region or only on uptake interpreted as borderline.

    5.2 Radiation Risks

    POSLUMA use contributes to a patient's overall long-term cumulative radiation exposure. Long-term cumulative radiation exposure is associated with an increased risk for cancer. Advise patients to hydrate before and after administration and to void frequently after administration. Ensure safe handling to minimize radiation exposure to the patient and health care providers [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1, 2.2)] .

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    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.

    The safety of POSLUMA was evaluated in 747 patients with prostate cancer [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1, 14.2)] . All patients received a single administration of POSLUMA with an administered radioactivity (mean ± SD) of 307 ± 23 MBq (8.3 ± 0.6 mCi). The mean age of patients was 67 years (range: 43 to 86 years); distribution by race was 78% White, 12% Black or African American, 2% other, and 7% unreported; and distribution by ethnicity was 5% Hispanic/Latino, 87% non-Hispanic/Latino, and 8% unreported.

    The adverse reactions reported in ≥ 0.4% of patients are shown in Table 2.

  • 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

    Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and other therapies targeting the androgen pathway, such as androgen receptor antagonists, can result in changes in uptake of flotufolastat F 18 in prostate cancer. The effect of these therapies on performance of POSLUMA PET has not been established.

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Risk Summary

    POSLUMA is not indicated for use in females. There are no available data on the use of POSLUMA in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with flotufolastat F 18. Radioactive drugs, including POSLUMA, have the potential to cause fetal harm depending on the fetal stage of development and the magnitude of the radiation dose.

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    POSLUMA is not indicated for use in females. There are no data on the presence of flotufolastat F 18 in human milk, the effect on the breastfed infant, or the effect on milk production.

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    The safety and effectiveness of POSLUMA have not been established in pediatric patients.

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    Among the total number of patients receiving POSLUMA in clinical studies of prostate cancer, 463 (62%) were 65 years of age and older, while 118 (16%) were 75 years of age and older [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1, 14.2)] . No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger adult patients.

  • 10 OVERDOSAGE

    In the event of an overdose of POSLUMA, maintain hydration of the patient and frequent voiding to minimize radiation exposure. A diuretic might also be considered. If possible, an estimate of the radiation effective dose administered to the patient should be made.

  • 11 DESCRIPTION

    11.1 Chemical Characteristics

    POSLUMA (flotufolastat F 18) injection is a radioactive diagnostic agent for intravenous use. The active ingredient of POSLUMA is flotufolastat F 18 gallium, of which the molecular structure includes a DOTAGA complex with nonradioactive gallium. Radioactive fluorine-18 is covalently bound to silicon.

    Chemically, flotufolastat F 18 gallium is gallate(6-), [(4 S,8 S,13 R,27 R,30 R,35 S)-35-[4,10-bis[(carboxy-k O)methyl]-7-(carboxymethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododec-1-yl-k N1,k N4,k N7,k N10]-30-[[[4-[bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)fluoro- 18F-silyl]benzoyl]amino]methyl]-1,36-dihydroxy-1,6,11,18,21,29,32,36-octaoxo-5,7,12,17,22,28,31-heptaazahexatriacontane-4,8,13,27-tetracarboxylato(9-)]-, hydrogen (1:6). The molecular weight is 1537.3 g/mol and the structural formula is:

    Structural Formula

    POSLUMA is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, clear, colorless, and isotonic solution. Each mL contains up to 20 mcg of flotufolastat gallium, up to 5,846 MBq (158 mCi) as flotufolastat F 18 gallium at end of synthesis, and the following inactive ingredients: not more than 10% (v/v) alcohol, 1.9 mg anhydrous citric acid, 7.2 mg sodium chloride, and 0.75 mg sodium hydroxide to adjust pH between 4 and 6. POSLUMA contains no preservative.

    11.2 Physical Characteristics

    POSLUMA contains fluorine-18 (F 18) which is a cyclotron produced radionuclide that decays by positron emission (β+ decay, 96.7%) and orbital electron capture (3.3%) to stable oxygen-18 with a physical half-life of 109.8 minutes ( Table 3). The principal photons useful for diagnostic imaging are the coincident pair of 511 keV gamma photons, resulting from the interaction of the emitted positron with an electron ( Table 4).

    11.3 External Radiation

    The point source air-kerma coefficient for F 18 is 3.75 × 10 -17 Gy m 2/(Bq s). The first half-value thickness of lead (Pb) for F 18 gamma rays is approximately 6 mm. The relative reduction of radiation emitted by F 18 that results from various thicknesses of lead shielding is shown in Table 5. The use of 8 cm of Pb will decrease the radiation transmission (i.e., exposure) by a factor of about 10,000.

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of action

    Flotufolastat F 18 binds to PSMA (IC50 = 4.4 nM) expressed on cells, including prostate cancer cells, and is internalized. Prostate cancer cells usually overexpress PSMA. Fluorine-18 is a ß+ emitting radionuclide that can be detected using positron emission tomography.

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    The relationship between flotufolastat F 18 plasma concentrations and image interpretation has not been fully characterized.

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    Distribution

    Following intravenous administration, flotufolastat F 18 distributes to liver (15.8% of administered activity), heart blood pool (7.4%), and kidneys (3.2%) and is cleared from the blood.

    Elimination

    Metabolism

    Flotufolastat F 18 does not undergo metabolism up to 50 minutes post injection.

    Excretion

    Elimination is by urinary excretion. Approximately 7% of the administered activity was excreted in the urine in the first 2 hours post-injection with approximately 15% excreted by 4.5 hours post-injection.

  • 13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    Animal studies to assess the carcinogenicity or mutagenic potential of flotufolastat have not been conducted. However, flotufolastat F 18 has the potential to be mutagenic because of the F 18 radionuclide.

    No studies in animals have been performed to evaluate potential impairment of fertility in males or females.

  • 14 CLINICAL STUDIES

    14.1 Imaging Prior to Initial Definitive Therapy of Prostate Cancer

    The safety and efficacy of POSLUMA were evaluated in LIGHTHOUSE (NCT04186819), a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study in patients with prostate cancer who were candidates for initial definitive therapy.

    The study enrolled 356 patients diagnosed with unfavorable intermediate-risk (32%) or high-/very high-risk prostate cancer (68%) who were candidates for radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND). Unfavorable intermediate-risk was defined as having any ≥ 2 intermediate risk factors [T2b-T2c, Gleason score 7, PSA 10-20], Gleason pattern 4+3=7, or ≥ 50% of biopsy cores positive for prostate cancer. High or very high-risk was defined as having T3 or T4 disease, Gleason score ≥8, primary Gleason pattern 5, and/or PSA >20.

    All patients received a single dose of POSLUMA with an administered radioactivity (mean ± SD) of 307 ± 23 MBq (8.3 ± 0.62 mCi), followed by PET/CT scan from mid-thigh to base of the skull. Three central readers blinded to clinical information independently interpreted each scan for lesions considered positive for prostate cancer in pelvic lymph nodes, categorized by subregion and left and right laterality [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5)] . Positive lesions in the prostate gland, lymph nodes outside the pelvis, soft tissue/parenchyma, and bones were also recorded.

    A total of 296 patients (83%) underwent standard-of-care prostatectomy and template PLND and had sufficient histopathology data for evaluation of the pelvic lymph nodes. The mean age was 65 years (range 46 to 82 years); distribution by race was 82% White, 8% Black or African American, 0.3% other, and 10% unreported; and distribution by ethnicity was 5% Hispanic/Latino, 86% non-Hispanic/Latino, and 9% unreported. The median serum PSA was 8.4 ng/mL. The total Gleason score was 7 for 45%, 8 for 26%, and 9 for 25% of the patients, with the remainder of the patients having Gleason scores of 6 or 10. Approximately 24% of patients had pelvic lymph node metastases based on histopathology.

    POSLUMA performance was evaluated against histopathology after matching by hemipelvis. Table 6 shows the results, such that at least one true positive hemipelvis region defined a true positive patient.

    In exploratory analyses, there were numerical trends towards higher sensitivity among patients with PSA greater than or equal to the median value (8.4 ng/mL) and among patients with high-risk or very high-risk categorization.

    POSLUMA-positive lesions outside of the prostate gland and pelvic lymph nodes (M1) were also evaluated. As a percentage of the 352 patients with an evaluable POSLUMA scan and of the 61 patients with at least one POSLUMA positive M1 lesion, 10% (95% CI: 7% to 13%) and 56% (95% CI: 42% to 68%), respectively, had at least one matching positive M1 lesion between the POSLUMA majority read and a reference standard consisting of other imaging evaluated by a separate consensus panel or histopathology.

    14.2 Imaging for Suspected Recurrence of Prostate Cancer

    The safety and efficacy of POSLUMA were evaluated in SPOTLIGHT (NCT04186845), a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study in patients with biochemical evidence of recurrent prostate cancer.

    The study enrolled 391 patients with suspected recurrence defined by either serum PSA of at least 0.2 ng/mL after radical prostatectomy (with confirmatory PSA level also at least 0.2 ng/mL) or by an increase in serum PSA of at least 2 ng/mL above the nadir after other therapies.

    All patients received a single dose of POSLUMA with an administered radioactivity (mean ± SD) of 306 ± 22 MBq (8.27 ±0.61 mCi), followed by PET/CT scan from mid-thigh to base of the skull. Three central readers blinded to clinical information independently interpreted each scan by region for the presence and location of lesions considered positive for prostate cancer [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5)] . The regions interpreted were grouped into three for primary analysis: prostate/prostate bed; pelvic lymph nodes; and other (including extra-pelvic lymph nodes, bone, and soft tissue/parenchyma).

    A total of 389 patients had an evaluable POSLUMA PET scan. The mean age was 68 years (range: 43 to 86 years); distribution by race was 75% White, 16% Black or African American, 4% other, and 5% unreported; and distribution by ethnicity 5% was Hispanic/Latino, 87% non-Hispanic/Latino, and 8% unreported. The median baseline serum PSA level was 1.1 ng/mL with 60% of patients having a baseline PSA <2.0 ng/mL. Prior treatment included radical prostatectomy in 79% of the patients.

    POSLUMA-positive interpretations were compared to a reference standard of either histopathology or other imaging (CT, MRI, Technetium 99m bone scan, or fluciclovine F 18 PET) obtained within 90 days of the POSLUMA scan using a lesion-to-lesion co-localization method and separate consensus panel. Reference standard information for negative interpretations was not collected.

    At least one POSLUMA-positive lesion was detected by at least one reader in 366 patients (94%). Reference standard information consisted of imaging only (n=297) or histopathology (n=69). As a percentage of patients with an evaluable scan, 51% (95% CI: 46% to 56%) for reader 1, 48% (95% CI: 43% to 53%) for reader 2, and 49% (95% CI: 44% to 54%) for reader 3 had at least one matching positive region between the POSLUMA scan and the reference standard. Of all POSLUMA-positive regions, 46% (95% CI: 42% to 50%) for reader 1, 60% (95% CI: 55% to 66%) for reader 2, and 53% (95% CI: 48% to 58%) for reader 3 were categorized as positive by the reference standard.

    Table 7 shows patient-level results from the majority read stratified by serum PSA level. Percent PET positivity was calculated as the percentage of patients with POSLUMA-positive lesions out of all patients with an evaluable PET scan. Percent PET positivity includes true and false positives and is not a measure of diagnostic performance.

    Variable Interpretation in Patients with Suspected Prostate Cancer Recurrence

    POSLUMA reader agreement was evaluated for the three central readers and 389 patients. Inter-reader Fleiss ϰ was 0.41 (95% CI: 0.39-0.43). The three readers agreed on the presence or absence of positive lesions across all five evaluated regions in 118 patients (30% unanimity) [see Warning and Precautions ( 5.1)].

    Given the level of inter-reader agreement observed overall, POSLUMA reader agreement was further evaluated by regional subgroup. The Fleiss ϰ for was 0.40 (95% CI: 0.33-0.46) in the prostate/prostate bed, 0.73 (95% CI: 0.67-0.78) in the pelvic lymph nodes, and 0.62 (95% CI: 0.58-0.65) across the other regions.
