The incidence of prostate cancer is rising and resulting mortality rates remain significant^15,16

Approximately 248,530 new prostate cancer cases will be diagnosed in 2021

new prostate cancer cases will be diagnosed in 2023^15,16

Approximately 34,130 PCa deaths will occur in 2021

deaths will occur in 2023 due to PCa, the second leading cause of cancer death in American men^15,16

Accurate initial assessment of a patient's disease is critical because high-risk PCa is more likely to be advanced at diagnosis and/or relapse than low-risk PCa^12,17,18

5-year relative survival rate for patients diagnosed with localized prostate cancer approaches 100%, however, if distant metastasis is present at the time of diagnosis, the 5-year survival rate has been reported to be 32%¹⁹

5-year survival rates of localized, regional, and distant prostate cancer

Standard imaging offers limited accuracy in PCa assessment, potentially compromising therapeutic decision-making^20,21

Although bone scans and CT scans can detect bone metastases, they lack sensitivity for early lesion detection⁶
Standard imaging offers limited utility in detecting recurrent lesions at PSA levels <1.0 ng/mL²²
CT scans and MRIs depend on size to detect lesions, and are therefore less likely to detect metastatic tumors between 4 mm and 8 mm^6,13
Bone remodeling in response to treatment may lead to false positives on MRI images⁶

PET imaging^§ has the potential to improve disease localization compared to standard imaging, thus enhancing therapeutic decision-making^20,21,23

^§With an appropriate tracer and combined with CT or MRI.

PSMA PET/CT can detect lesions between 4 mm and 8 mm, and therefore has a higher detection rate^6,13
- Because up to 80% of nodal metastases in PCa are smaller than 8 mm in size, PSMA PET/CT is a promising imaging modality⁶
PSMA PET/CT is also effective at lower PSA levels; the rate of detection of nodal metastases has been reported to be 46% when PSA was <0.2 ng/mL⁶

PSMA PET IMAGING IMPROVES DISEASE ASSESSMENT

which reduces the risk of undertreatment (leading to disease spread) and overtreatment (leading to unnecessary toxicity or surgery)^24,25

PYLARIFY® for PCa Imaging

INDICATION & IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION

PYLARIFY® (piflufolastat F 18) Injection is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in men with prostate cancer:

with suspected metastasis who are candidates for initial definitive therapy.

with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.

INDICATION

with suspected metastasis who are candidates for initial definitive therapy.
with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Contraindications

None.

Warnings and Precautions

Risk of Image Misinterpretation

Imaging interpretation errors can occur with PYLARIFY imaging. 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 PYLARIFY for imaging of patients with biochemical evidence of recurrence of prostate cancer seems to be affected by serum PSA levels. The performance of PYLARIFY for imaging of metastatic pelvic lymph nodes prior to initial definitive therapy seems to be affected by risk factors such as Gleason score and tumor stage. PYLARIFY uptake is not specific for prostate cancer and may occur with other types of cancer as well as non-malignant processes and in normal tissues. Clinical correlation, which may include histopathological evaluation of the suspected prostate cancer site, is recommended.

Hypersensitivity Reactions

Monitor patients for hypersensitivity reactions, particularly patients with a history of allergy to other drugs and foods. Reactions may be delayed. Always have trained staff and resuscitation equipment available.

Radiation Risks

Diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals, including PYLARIFY, expose patients to radiation. Radiation exposure is associated with a dose-dependent increased risk of cancer. Ensure safe handling and preparation procedures to protect patients and health care workers from unintentional radiation exposure. Advise patients to hydrate before and after administration and to void frequently after administration.

Adverse Reactions

The most frequently reported adverse reactions were headaches, dysgeusia and fatigue, occurring at rate of ≤2% during clinical studies with PYLARIFY. In addition, a delayed hypersensitivity reaction was reported in one patient (0.2%) with a history of allergic reactions.

Drug Interactions

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and other therapies targeting the androgen pathway, such as androgen receptor antagonists, may result in changes in uptake of PYLARIFY in prostate cancer. The effect of these therapies on performance of PYLARIFY PET has not been established.

To report suspected adverse reactions for PYLARIFY, call 1-800-362-26681-80‌0-36‌2-2668 or contact FDA at 1-800-332-10881-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
