What is Axumin?

Axumin (fluciclovine F18) PET/CT Scan is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Blue Earth Diagnostics Ltd. It is a radioactive imaging agent used for positron emission tomography (PET imaging) in men with suspected recurrence of prostate cancer based on raised blood prostate-specific antigen levels following prior treatment. Axumin uses a very low amount of radiation which has a very low risk of cancer and hereditary abnormalities.

What doses of Axumin are available?

Axumin is available as an injection, in the following doses: 335-8200 MBq/mL at calibration time and date. Imaging begins 3-5 minutes after administration. Scanning should start from the mid-thigh and proceed to the base of the skull, with a total scan time of about 20-30 minutes.

The spread of prostate cancer can be detected using different tests such as ultrasound, CT, MRI, and a radionuclide bone scan. Your doctor will help decide which tests are best for you. Please read the prescribing information and always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Axumin active ingredients

Axumin contains the fluorine 18 (F18) labeled synthetic amino acid analog fluciclovine, a radioactive agent used with CT imaging. Axumin scans use positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT), a nuclear medicine imaging tool that pinpoints metabolic activity within the body.

Prostate cancers absorb amino acids at a faster rate than healthy cells. Axumin is able to link its radiotracer to amino acid activity, capturing recurrent disease in the prostate area, as well as other areas of the body, such as the pancreas, bone marrow, and myocardium. The greatest benefit of fluciclovine PET/CT is localizing small metastatic lymph nodes.

Axumin side effects

The most common side effects of Axumin in clinical studies include:

• Injection site pain
• Erythema
• Dysgeusia

In rare instances, Axumin can cause more serious side effects. These can include:

• Image interpretation errors can occur with Axumin PET imaging. Negative results do not rule out recurrent prostate cancer and positive results do not confirm recurrent prostate cancer. The detection rate of Axumin is affected by PSA levels. Fluciclovine F 18 uptake may occur with other types of cancer
• Axumin contributes to long-term cumulative radiation exposure

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Axumin against your risk of side effects. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse reactions of Axumin to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
