What is Lumisight?
From the FDA label:LUMISIGHT (pegulicianine for injection) is an optical imaging agent for intravenous use. The chemical name of pegulicianine acetate is N-[6-(1-{2-[3,6-bis(2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-1-yl)xanthylium-9-yl]benzene-1-sulfonyl}piperidine-4-carboxamido)hexanoyl]glycylglycyl-L-arginyl-N6-(6-{2-[(1E,3E,5Z)-5-(1-ethyl-3,3-dimethyl-5-sulfonato-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-ylidene)penta-1,3-dien-1-yl]-3,3-dimethyl-5-sulfonato-3H-indol-1-ium-1-yl}hexanoyl)-Llysyl-[2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethoxy]acetyl-S-[(3RS)-1-{6-[α-methylpoly(oxyethylene)-ω-amino]-6-oxohexyl}-2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-3-yl]-L-cysteinamide acetate with a molecular formula of C 116 H 147 N 19 O 23 S 4 (C 2 H 4 O) n , with n of approximately 450, a molecular weight of 20-25 kDa, and the following structural formula: Figure 1: Molecular structure of pegulicianine acetate LUMISIGHT is supplied as a sterile, dark blue lyophilized powder. Each vial contains 40 mg of pegulicianine (equivalent to 40.1 mg of pegulicianine acetate) and the following inactive ingredients: 3.2 mg of dibasic sodium phosphate heptahydrate, 39.5 mg of mannitol, and 3.8 mg of monobasic sodium phosphate monohydrate to permit withdrawal of 3.9 mL of pegulicianine 10 mg/mL upon reconstitution with 4 mL of 0.45% sodium chloride injection, USP. The pH of the reconstituted solution is 6 to 7. image description
How to use
Recommended dose of LUMISIGHT is 1 mg/kg by intravenous injection over 3 minutes administered 2 hours to 6 hours prior to imaging. ( 2.1 ) See Full Prescribing Information for instructions on preparation, administration, and imaging. ( 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 ) 2.1 Recommended Dose The recommended dose of LUMISIGHT is 1 mg/kg actual body weight by intravenous injection over 3 minutes administered 2 hours to 6 hours prior to imaging. 2.2 Preparation of LUMISIGHT Important Preparation Information Prior to reconstitution, store vials in the freezer at -25°C to -15°C (-13°F to 5°F). Protect from light. Use aseptic technique for the preparation of LUMISIGHT. The recommended dose depends on the individual patient’s weight. Multiple vials of LUMISIGHT may need to be reconstituted to achieve the individual patient dose. Only use 0.45% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP for reconstitution of LUMISIGHT to prevent high osmolality. Preparation Instructions Calculate the dose (1 mg/kg) and the total volume (mL) of LUMISIGHT based on the individual patient’s weight. Obtain the number of vials required to administer the patient dose. Allow the vials to acclimate to room temperature between 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) for approximately 5 minutes. Reconstitute each vial of LUMISIGHT with 4 mL of 0.45% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP to permit withdrawal of 3.9 mL of LUMISIGHT 10 mg/mL. Visually inspect the…
Side effects
The following clinically important adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Anaphylaxis and Other Serious Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Most common adverse reactions (≥1%) were hypersensitivity and chromaturia. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Lumicell at 1-833-458-6387 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of LUMISIGHT was evaluated in 726 patients who received a single dose of 1 mg/kg of LUMISIGHT. Among these 726 patients, 703 (97%) had breast cancer and 23 (3%) had other types of cancer. The mean age of the patients was 62 years (range: 36 years to 95 years), and 98% of them were female. Distribution by race was 82% White, 7% Black or African American, 6% Asian, and 5% other or unreported. Distribution by ethnicity was 3% Hispanic/Latino, 93% non-Hispanic/Latino, and 4% unknown or unreported. Adverse reactions occurring in ≥ 1% of patients receiving LUMISIGHT were hypersensitivity (1.4%, including anaphylaxis [4 out of 726]) and chromaturia (85%). Chromaturia resolved within 48 hours…
FDA Boxed Warning (the FDA’s most serious warning)
Boxed (black-box) warning — from the FDA label
Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur during or following administration of LUMISIGHT. Anaphylaxis occurred in 4/726 (0.6%) of patients in clinical studies. Signs and symptoms associated with other hypersensitivity reactions included pruritus, urticaria, hypotension, lip swelling, erythema, anxiety, chest pain, cyanosis, dizziness, dyspnea, headache, hypoesthesia, hyperventilation, maculopapular rash, nausea, paresthesia, visual changes, and vomiting. Before LUMISIGHT administration, assess all patients for any history of hypersensitivity reaction to contrast media or products containing polyethylene glycol (PEG). Always have emergency resuscitation drugs, equipment, and trained personnel promptly available. Monitor all patients for hypersensitivity reactions. If a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected, immediately discontinue the injection and initiate appropriate therapy. LUMISIGHT is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reactions to pegulicianine [see Warning and Precautions (5.1) ] . WARNING: ANAPHYLAXIS AND OTHER SERIOUS HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning. Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur during or following administration. Anaphylaxis has occurred in 4/726 (0.6%) of patients in clinical studies. Before LUMISIGHT administration, assess all patients for any history of hypersensitivity reaction to contrast media or products containing polyethylene glycol (PEG). Always have emergency resuscitation drugs, equipment, and trained personnel available. Monitor all patients for hypersensitivity reactions. If a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected, immediately discontinue the injection and initiate appropriate therapy. ( 5.1 ).
Warnings
Important safety information
Risk of Misdiagnosis : Absence of signal in the surgical field does not rule out the presence of cancer. Positive signal may be seen in non-cancerous tissue. ( 5.2 ) Interference from Dyes Used for Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping : Avoid administration of dyes before imaging the lumpectomy cavity in patients receiving LUMISIGHT. ( 5.3 , 7 ) 5.1 Anaphylaxis and Other Serious Hypersensitivity Reactions Prepare for the possibility of drug hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylaxis), which can occur during or following administration, and take the necessary precautions. In clinical studies, 4 of 726 (0.6%) patients treated with LUMISIGHT experienced signs and symptoms consistent with anaphylaxis. The onset was during administration in three patients. Signs and symptoms associated with other hypersensitivity reactions included pruritus, urticaria, hypotension, lip swelling, erythema, anxiety, chest pain, cyanosis, dizziness, dyspnea, headache, hypoesthesia, hyperventilation, maculopapular rash, nausea, paresthesia, visual changes, and vomiting [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. Before LUMISIGHT administration, assess all patients for any history of hypersensitivity reaction to contrast media or products containing polyethylene glycol (PEG), as these patients may have an increased risk for hypersensitivity reaction to LUMISIGHT. In clinical studies, three out of four patients that experienced anaphylaxis did not have a history of hypersensitivity reaction to contrast media or products containing PEG. Always have emergency resuscitation drugs, equipment, and trained personnel available. Monitor all patients for hypersensitivity reactions through symptom reporting, direct observation, and vital sign measurements. If a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected, immediately discontinue the injection and initiate appropriate therapy. LUMISIGHT is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to pegulicianine [see Contraindications ( 4 )] . 5.2 Risk of Misdiagnosis False positive and false negative findings may occur during use of LUMISIGHT to detect residual cancer. Absence of signal in the lumpectomy cavity does not rule out the presence of residual cancer. Additionally, positive signal has been observed in some non-cancerous tissue [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )]. 5.3 Interference from Dyes Used for Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping Blue dyes used for sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping procedures interfere with LUMISIGHT imaging. The potential of other dyes to interfere with LUMISIGHT imaging has not been evaluated. Avoid administration of dyes used for SLN mapping procedures before imaging the lumpectomy cavity in patients receiving LUMISIGHT [see Drug Interactions ( 7 )].
Who should not take Lumisight
LUMISIGHT is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to pegulicianine. Reactions have included anaphylaxis [see Warning and Precautions (5.1) ] . History of hypersensitivity reaction to pegulicianine. ( 4 )
Interactions
Blue dyes used for SLN mapping procedures generate a fluorescent signal that interferes with the signal from LUMISIGHT when injected into the breast prior to imaging with LUMISIGHT. The potential of other dyes to interfere with LUMISIGHT imaging has not been evaluated. Avoid administration of dyes used for SLN mapping procedure before imaging the lumpectomy cavity in patients receiving LUMISIGHT.
