What is Locametz?

Locametz (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection) is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Advanced Accelerator Applications, the radioligand business of Novartis. Locametz, after radiolabeling with gallium-68, is a radioactive diagnostic agent used for positron emission tomography of prostate-specific membrane antigen, (PSMA-positive lesions) in men with prostate cancer:

• With suspected metastasis who are eligible for initial definitive therapy
• With suspected recurrence based on increased serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels
• For the selection of patients with metastatic prostate cancer, for whom lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan PSMA-directed therapy is indicated

Pluvicto (177Lu-vipivotide tetraxetan), referred to as 177Lu–prostate-specific membrane antigen–617 (177Lu-PSMA-617) is used to treat adult patients with PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have been treated with androgen-receptor pathway inhibition and taxane-based chemotherapy.

What doses of Locametz are available?

Locametz is supplied in a multi-dose vial containing 25 mcg of gozetotide. After radiolabeling with gallium-68, the vial contains a sterile solution of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide at a strength of up to 1,369 MBq in up to 10 mL at the calibration date and time.

Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide uptake may occur in other tumors and in non-malignant processes. Evaluation of Locametz PET imaging with histopathology and other diagnostic procedures is required.
