About This Medication
11 DESCRIPTION 11.1 Chemical Characteristics Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection is a radioactive diagnostic agent for intravenous administration. It contains 5 mcg gozetotide, 18.5 MBq/mL to 185 MBq/mL (0.5 mCi/mL to 5 mCi/mL) of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide at calibration time, 1 mL ethanol, 1 mL water for injection, and 10 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride solution (approximately 12 mL total volume). Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection is provided as a sterile, pyrogen free, clear, colorless solution for intravenous use, with a pH between 4.0 and 7.0. Gozetotide is also known as PSMA-11. Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide is a urea based peptidomimetic that has a covalently bound chelator (HBED-CC). The peptide has the amino acid sequence Glu-NH-CO-NH-Lys(Ahx)-HBED-CC. Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide has a molecular weight of 1011.91 g/mol and its chemical structure is shown in Figure 1.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk for misdiagnosis: Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide uptake can be seen in a variety of tumor types and in non-malignant processes. Image interpretation errors can occur with gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET. ( 5.1 ) Radiation risk: Ensure safe handling to protect patients and health care workers from unintentional radiation exposure. ( 2.1 , 5.2 ) 5.1 Risk for Misdiagnosis 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 Injection 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 Injection 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. 5.2 Radiation Risks Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Injection 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) ] .
