CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
LysaKare is indicated for reduction of renal radiation exposure during
peptide-receptor radionuclide
therapy (PRRT) with lutetium (
177
Lu) oxodotreotide in adults.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
LysaKare is indicated for administration with PRRT with lutetium (
177
Lu) oxodotreotide therefore, it
should only be administered by a health care provider experienced in
the use of PRRT.
Posology
_Adults _
The recommended treatment regimen in adults consists of infusion of
full bag of LysaKare
concomitantly with lutetium (
177
Lu) oxodotreotide infusion, even when patients require PRRT dose
reduction.
Pre-treatment with an anti-emetic 30 minutes prior to start of
LysaKare infusion is recommended to
reduce the incidence of nausea and vomiting.
_Special populations _
_Renal impairment _
Due to the potential for clinical complications related to volume
overload and an increase of potassium
in blood associated with the use of LysaKare, this product should not
be administered in patients with
creatinine clearance <30 mL/min.
Care should be taken with LysaKare use in patients with creatinine
clearance between 30 and
50 mL/min. Treatment with lutetium (
177
Lu) oxodotreotide is not recommended for patients with renal
function between 30 and 50 mL/min therefore, the benefit risk for
these patients will always need to be
weighed carefully, which should include consideration of an increased
risk for transient hyperkalaemia
in these patients (see section 4.4).
