Inspect the product visually under a shielded screen for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Discard the vial if particulates and/or discoloration are present. Do not inject the PLUVICTO solution directly into any other intravenous solution. Confirm the amount of radioactivity of PLUVICTO delivered to the patient with an appropriately calibrated dose calibrator prior to and after each PLUVICTO administration. Dispose of any unused medicinal product or waste material in accordance with local and federal laws. Administration Instructions Prior to administration, flush the intravenous catheter used exclusively for PLUVICTO administration with ≥ 10 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP to ensure patency and to minimize the risk of extravasation. Manage cases of extravasation as per institutional guidelines. The recommended dosage of PLUVICTO may be administered intravenously as an injection using the syringe method, as an infusion using the gravity method, or as an infusion using the peristaltic pump method. When using the gravity or peristaltic pump method, infuse PLUVICTO directly from its original container. Use the syringe method or the peristaltic pump method when administering a reduced dose of PLUVICTO following a dosage modification for an adverse reaction. When using the gravity method for a reduced dose, adjust the PLUVICTO dose before the administration to avoid the delivery of an incorrect volume of PLUVICTO. Intravenous Methods of Administration Instructions for the Syringe Method Withdraw an appropriate volume of PLUVICTO solution to deliver the desired radioactivity by using a disposable syringe fitted with a syringe shield and a disposable sterile needle that is 9 cm, 18 gauge (long needle). To aid the withdrawal of the solution, a filtered 2.5 cm, 20 gauge needle (short venting needle) can be used to reduce the resistance from the pressurized vial. Ensure that the short needle does not touch the PLUVICTO solution in the vial. Administer PLUVICTO to the patient by slow intravenous push within approximately 1 to 10 minutes (either with a syringe pump or manually without a syringe pump) via an intravenous catheter that is primed with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP and that is used exclusively for PLUVICTO administration to the patient. If using a syringe pump, fit the syringe into the shielded pump and include a 3-way stopcock valve between the syringe and an intravenous catheter primed with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP and used for PLUVICTO administration to the patient. When the desired PLUVICTO radioactivity has been delivered, stop the syringe pump and then change the position of the 3-way stopcock valve to flush the syringe with 25 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. Restart the syringe pump. After the flush of the syringe has been completed, perform an intravenous flush of ≥ 10 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP through the intravenous catheter to the patient. Instructions for the Gravity Method Insert a 2.5 cm, 20 gauge needle (short needle) into the PLUVICTO vial and connect via a catheter to 500 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP (used to transport the PLUVICTO solution during the infusion). Ensure that the short needle does not touch the PLUVICTO solution in the vial and do not connect the short needle directly to the patient. Do not allow the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP to flow into the PLUVICTO vial prior to the initiation of the PLUVICTO infusion and do not inject the PLUVICTO solution directly into the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. Insert a second needle that is 9 cm, 18 gauge (long needle) into the PLUVICTO vial, ensuring that the long needle touches and is secured to the bottom of the PLUVICTO vial during the entire infusion. Connect the long needle to the patient by an intravenous catheter that is primed with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP and that is used exclusively for the PLUVICTO infusion into the patient. Use a clamp or an infusion pump to regulate the flow of the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP via the short needle into the PLUVICTO vial (the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP entering the vial through the short needle will carry the PLUVICTO solution from the vial to the patient via the intravenous catheter connected to the long needle within approximately 30 minutes). During the infusion, ensure that the level of solution in the PLUVICTO vial remains constant. Disconnect the vial from the long needle line and clamp the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP line once the level of radioactivity is stable for at least five minutes. Follow the infusion with an intravenous flush of ≥ 10 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP through the intravenous catheter to the patient. Instructions for the Peristaltic Pump Method Insert a filtered 2.5 cm, 20 gauge needle (short venting needle) into the PLUVICTO vial. Ensure that the short needle does not touch the PLUVICTO solution in the vial and do not connect the short needle directly to the patient or to the peristaltic pump. Insert a second needle that is 9 cm, 18 gauge (long needle) into the PLUVICTO vial, ensuring that the long needle touches and is secured to the bottom of the PLUVICTO vial during the entire infusion. Connect the long needle and a 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP to a 3-way stopcock valve via appropriate tubing. Connect the output of the 3-way stopcock valve to tubing installed on the input side of the peristaltic pump according to manufacturer’s instructions. Prime the line by opening the 3-way stopcock valve and pumping the PLUVICTO solution through the tubing until it reaches the exit of the valve. Prime the intravenous catheter which will be connected to the patient by opening the 3-way stopcock valve to the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP and pumping the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP until it exits the end of the catheter tubing. Connect the primed intravenous catheter to the patient and set the 3-way stopcock valve such that the PLUVICTO solution is in line with the peristaltic pump. Infuse an appropriate volume of PLUVICTO solution at approximately 25 mL/h to deliver the desired radioactivity. When the desired PLUVICTO radioactivity has been delivered, stop the peristaltic pump and then change the position of the 3-way stopcock valve so that the peristaltic pump is in line with the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. Restart the peristaltic pump and infuse an intravenous flush of ≥ 10 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP through the intravenous catheter to the patient. 2.6 Radiation Dosimetry Dosimetry of lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan was collected in 29 patients in the VISION sub-study, in order to calculate whole body and organ radiation dosimetry. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of the estimated radiation absorbed doses to different organs for adults receiving PLUVICTO are shown in Table 2. The organs with the highest radiation absorbed doses are lacrimal glands, salivary glands, large intestine (left and right colon), kidneys, and urinary bladder wall. The maximum penetration of lutetium-177 in tissue is approximately 2 mm and the mean penetration is 0.67 mm.

Warnings & Precautions
Risk From Radiation Exposure : Minimize radiation exposure during and after treatment with PLUVICTO consistent with institutional good radiation safety practices and patient treatment procedures. Ensure patients increase oral fluid intake and advise patients to void as often as possible to reduce bladder radiation. ( 5.1 ) Myelosuppression : Perform complete blood counts. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue PLUVICTO based on severity. ( 2.4 , 5.2 ) Renal Toxicity : Advise patients to remain well hydrated and to urinate frequently. Perform kidney function laboratory tests. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue PLUVICTO based on severity. ( 2.4 , 5.3 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : Can cause fetal harm. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception. ( 5.4 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) Infertility : PLUVICTO may cause temporary or permanent infertility. ( 5.5 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Risk From Radiation Exposure PLUVICTO contributes to a patient’s overall long-term cumulative radiation exposure. Long-term cumulative radiation exposure is associated with an increased risk for cancer. Minimize radiation exposure to patients, medical personnel, and others during and after treatment with PLUVICTO consistent with institutional good radiation safety practices, patient treatment procedures, Nuclear Regulatory Commission patient-release guidance, and instructions to the patient for follow-up radiation protection at home. Ensure patients increase oral fluid intake and advise patients to void as often as possible to reduce bladder radiation. Before the patient is released, inform patients about the necessary radioprotection precautions to follow to minimize radiation exposure to others [see Patient Counseling Information (17)] . After each administration of PLUVICTO, advise patients to: Limit close contact (less than 3 feet) with others for 2 days or with children and pregnant women for 7 days. Refrain from sexual activity for 7 days. Sleep in a separate room from others for 3 days, from children for 7 days, or from pregnant women for 15 days. 5.2 Myelosuppression PLUVICTO can cause severe and life-threatening myelosuppression, including anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and neutropenia. In the PSMAfore study, Grade 3 or 4 decreased hemoglobin (7%), decreased leukocytes (4.4%), decreased neutrophils (3.5%), and decreased platelets (2.7%) occurred in patients treated with PLUVICTO. One death occurred due to bone marrow failure during long-term follow-up in a patient who received PLUVICTO. In the VISION study, Grade 3 or 4 decreased hemoglobin (15%), decreased platelets (9%), decreased leukocytes (7%), and decreased neutrophils (4.5%) occurred in patients treated with PLUVICTO. Grade ≥ 3 pancytopenia occurred in 1.1% (which includes two fatal events) of patients treated with PLUVICTO. Two deaths (0.4%) occurred due to intracranial hemorrhage and subdural hematoma in association with thrombocytopenia, one death (0.2%) occurred due to sepsis and concurrent neutropenia, and one death (0.2%) occurred due to bone marrow failure. Perform complete blood counts before and during treatment with PLUVICTO. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue PLUVICTO based on the severity of myelosuppression [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)] . 5.3 Renal Toxicity PLUVICTO can cause severe renal toxicity. In the PSMAfore study, Grade 3 or 4 acute kidney injury (1.3%) occurred in patients treated with PLUVICTO. In the VISION study, Grade 3 or 4 acute kidney injury (3.4%) occurred in patients treated with PLUVICTO. Advise patients to remain well hydrated and to urinate frequently before and after administration of PLUVICTO. Perform kidney function laboratory tests, including serum creatinine and calculated creatinine clearance (CLcr), before and during treatment with PLUVICTO. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue PLUVICTO based on the severity of renal toxicity [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)] . 5.4 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity The safety and efficacy of PLUVICTO have not been established in females. Based on its mechanism of action, PLUVICTO can cause fetal harm [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)] . No animal studies using lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan have been conducted to evaluate its effect on female reproduction and embryo-fetal development; however, radioactive emissions, including those from PLUVICTO, can cause fetal harm. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with PLUVICTO and for 14 weeks after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)] . 5.5 Infertility PLUVICTO may cause infertility in males. The recommended cumulative dose of 44.4 GBq of PLUVICTO results in a radiation absorbed dose to the testes within the range where PLUVICTO may cause temporary or permanent infertility [see Use in Specific Populations (8.3)] .

In the pooled safety population for the PSMAfore and VISION studies (N = 756), the most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were decreased lymphocytes (83%), decreased hemoglobin (65%), fatigue (49%), dry mouth (46%), decreased platelets (40%), decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (37%), nausea (35%), decreased neutrophils (31%), decreased calcium (29%), decreased sodium (27%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (26%), increased alkaline phosphatase (24%), arthralgia (22%), decreased appetite (21%), increased potassium (21%), constipation (21%), and back pain (21%). PSMAfore The safety of PLUVICTO was evaluated in the PSMAfore study in patients with progressive, PSMA-positive mCRPC previously treated with ARPI therapy, for whom it was considered appropriate to delay taxane-based chemotherapy by the investigator [see Clinical Studies (14.1)] . Patients received at least one dose of either PLUVICTO 7.4 GBq (200 mCi) administered every 6 weeks (N = 227) or a change in ARPI (N = 232). The median duration of exposure to PLUVICTO was 8.4 months (range, 0.4 to 11.6), and the median number of doses of PLUVICTO received was 6 (range, 1 to 6). The median cumulative administered activity of PLUVICTO was 42.4 GBq (range, 7.0 to 45.4). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 20% of patients who received PLUVICTO. Serious adverse reactions in > 1% of patients who received PLUVICTO included anemia (1.8%), urinary tract infection (1.8%), hemorrhage (1.3%), and sepsis (1.3%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1.8% of patients who received PLUVICTO, including COVID-19 pneumonia, cardiac arrest, intestinal ischemia, and sepsis (0.4% each). PLUVICTO was permanently discontinued due to adverse reactions in 6% of patients. Adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation of PLUVICTO in ≥ 1% of patients who received PLUVICTO were thrombocytopenia (1.8%) and dry mouth (1.3%). Adverse reactions leading to a dose interruption of PLUVICTO occurred in 12% of patients. The most frequent (≥ 1%) adverse reactions leading to a dose interruption of PLUVICTO in patients who received PLUVICTO were COVID-19 (3.1%) and anemia (1.8%). Adverse reactions leading to a dose reduction of PLUVICTO occurred in 3.5% of patients. The most frequent (≥ 0.5%) adverse reaction leading to a dose reduction of PLUVICTO in patients who received PLUVICTO was dry mouth (0.9%).
