WHAT SOMAKIT TOC IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
This medicine is a radiopharmaceutical for diagnostic use only. It
contains the active substance
edotreotide. Before it can be used, the powder in the vial is mixed
with a radioactive substance called
gallium (
68
Ga) chloride to make gallium (
68
Ga) edotreotide (this procedure is called radiolabelling).
Gallium (
68
Ga) edotreotide contains a small amount of radioactivity. After
injection into a vein, it can
make parts of the body visible to doctors during a medical imaging
procedure called positron emission
tomography (PET). This medical procedure obtains images of your organs
to help locate abnormal
cells or tumours, giving valuable information about your disease.
The use of SomaKit TOC involves exposure to small amounts of
radioactivity. Your doctor and the
nuclear medicine doctor have considered that the clinical benefit from
the procedure with the
radiopharmaceutical outweighs the risk due to radiation.

this medicine (listed in

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
This medicinal product is for diagnostic use only.
After radiolabelling with gallium (
68
Ga) chloride solution, the solution of gallium (
68
Ga) edotreotide
obtained is indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The medicinal product should only be administered by trained
healthcare professionals with technical
expertise in using and handling nuclear medicine diagnostic agents and
only in a designated nuclear
medicine facility.
Posology
The recommended activity for an adult weighing 70 kg is 100 to 200
MBq, administered by direct
slow intravenous injection.
The activity will be adapted to patient characteristics, the type of
PET camera used and acquisition
mode.
_Elderly _
No special dose regimen for elderly patients is required.
_Renal/Hepatic impairment _
The safety and efficacy of gallium (
68
Ga) edotreotide have not been studied in patients with renal or
hepatic impairment.

_Paediatric population _
The safety and efficacy of gallium (
68
Ga) edotreotide have not been established in paediatric
populations, where the effective dose might be different than in
adults. There is
