What is Cytalux?

Cytalux is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by On Target Laboratories, Inc. FDA approval of Cytalux is based on data from clinical studies, demonstrating that 27% of patients were identified to have additional lesions which would have been otherwise left behind without Cytalux use.

Cytalux is an optical imaging agent indicated in adult patients with ovarian cancer as an adjunct for the intraoperative identification of malignant lesions. It illuminates under a near-infrared fluorescence imaging system.

Ovarian cancer cells cause the body to produce a specific protein in cell membranes called a folate receptor. Cytalux binds to these cancer cell proteins to illuminate under fluorescent light, allowing surgeons to identify the cancerous tissue during cancer surgery.

What doses of Cytalux are available?

Cytalux is available as an intravenous injection, in the following doses: 2 mg/mL in a single-dose vial.

Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Cytalux active ingredients

Cytalux contains pafolacianine as the active ingredient. The safety and effectiveness of Cytalux were evaluated in a multi-center, open-label study of women with ovarian cancer or with a high clinical suspicion of ovarian cancer scheduled to undergo surgery. Almost 27% had at least one cancerous lesion detected through using Cytalux that was not detected by standard visual or tactile checks

Cytalux side effects

The most common side effects of Cytalux in clinical trials include:

• Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, flushing, dyspepsia, chest discomfort, itching, and hypersensitivity – your doctor may prescribe you antihistamines or anti-nausea medication

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

• Infusion-related reactions
• Risk of misinterpretation – non-fluorescing tissue does not rule out the presence of a tumor, and fluorescence may be seen in non-cancerous tissues
• Embryo-Fetal toxicity
• Risk of pafolacianine aggregation

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

Cytalux drug interactions

Cytalux can interact with other medications. These include:

• Folate supplements – folate, folic acid, or folate-containing supplements within 48 hours before administration of Cytalux

This list is not exhaustive and other prescription drugs may interact with Cytalux.
