WHAT CUPRYMINA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Cuprymina is not a medicine
_ _
and it is not intended to be used on its own.
Cuprymina is a type of medicine called a radiopharmaceutical
precursor. It contains the active
substance copper (
64
Cu) chloride. Copper-64 is a radioactive form of the chemical element
copper,
which emits the radiation needed for certain procedures that may be
carried out on you.
Cuprymina is used for radiolabelling, a technique in which a substance
is tagged (radiolabelled) with a
radioactive compound. Cuprymina is used to label certain medicines
that have been specially
developed and authorised for use with the active substance copper (
64
Cu) chloride. These medicines
act as a carrier to take the radioactivity to where it is needed.
These may be substances that have been
designed to recognise a particular type of cell in the body, including
tumour cells.
The use of Copper-64-labelled medicines involves exposure to small
amounts of radioactivity. Your
doctor and the nuclear medicine doctor have considered that the
clinical benefit that you will obtain
from the procedure with the radiopharmac

SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

1.
NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT
Cuprymina 925 MBq/mL radiopharmaceutical precursor, solution
2.
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Each mL of solution contains 925 MBq of copper (
64
Cu) chloride at calibration time (01h00 a.m.
Central European Time [CET]), corresponding to at least 0.25
micrograms of Copper-64. The
calibration time is set between the end of the synthesis time and the
expiry time.
Each vial contains an activity ranging from 925 MBq to 2,770 MBq (at
calibration time) which
corresponds to an amount of 0.25 to 0.75 micrograms of Copper-64. The
volume varies from 1 to 3 mL.
The minimal specific activity is 3,700 MBq Copper-64/micrograms of
Copper at the expiry date and
time.
Copper-64 has a half-life of 12.7 hours.
Copper-64 decays by an emission of β
+
(17.6 %) with a maximum energy of 0.66 MeV, an emission of
β
-
(38.5 %) with a maximum energy of 0.58 MeV and electronic capture
(43.9 %).
Copper-64 decays in stable Nickel
64
Ni (61 %) by an emission of β
+
(18 %) or by an electronic capture
(43 %). Copper-64 decays also in stable Zinc (
64
Zn) by emission of β
-
(39 %).

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Cuprymina is a radiopharmaceutical precursor. It is not intended for
direct use in patients. This
medicinal product must be used only for the radiolabelling of carrier
molecules, which have been
specifically developed and authorised for radiolabelling with this

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Cuprymina is only to be used by specialists experienced with
_in vitro_
radiolabelling
Posology
The quantity of Cuprymina required for radiolabelling and the quantity
of Copper-64-labelled
medicinal product that is subsequently administered will depend on the
medicinal product
radiolabelled and its intended use.
