WHAT LOCAMETZ IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT LOCAMETZ IS
This medicine is a radiopharmaceutical product for diagnostic use
only.
Locametz contains a substance called gozetotide. Before use,
gozetotide (the powder in the vial) is
coupled with a radioactive substance called gallium-68 to make gallium
(
68
Ga) gozetotide solution
(this procedure is called radiolabelling).
WHAT LOCAMETZ IS USED FOR
After radiolabelling with gallium-68, Locametz is used in a medical
imaging procedure called positron
emission tomography (PET) to detect specific types of cancer cells
with a protein called
prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) in adults with prostate
cancer. This is done:
-
to find out whether prostate cancer has spread to lymph nodes and
other tissues outside the
prostate, before primary curative therapy (e.g. therapy involving
surgical removal of the
prostate, radiation therapy)
-
to identify cancer cells when recurrence of prostate cancer is
suspected in patients who have
received primary cu

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
This medicinal product is for diagnostic use only.
Locametz, after radiolabelling with gallium-68, is indicated for the
detection of prostate-specific
membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive lesions with positron emission
tomography (PET) in adults with
prostate cancer (PCa) in the following clinical settings:
•
Primary staging of patients with high-risk PCa prior to primary
curative therapy,
•
Suspected PCa recurrence in patients with increasing levels of serum
prostate-specific antigen
(PSA) after primary curative therapy,
•
Identification of patients with PSMA-positive progressive metastatic
castration-resistant
prostate cancer (mCRPC) for whom PSMA-targeted therapy is indicated
(see section 4.4).

healthcare professionals with technical
expertise in using and handling nuclear medicine imaging agents and
only in a designated nuclear
medicine facility.
Posology
The recommended dose of gallium (
68
Ga) gozetotide is 1.8-2.2 MBq/kg of body weight, with a
