Blue Earth Diagnostics Highlights Presentations on POSLUMA® (Flotufolastat F 18) in Prostate Cancer at Upcoming ASTRO Annual Meeting

This press release is for U.S. audiences only

Blue Earth Diagnostics, a Bracco company and recognized leader in the development and commercialization of innovative PET radiopharmaceuticals, today announced presentations on POSLUMA^® (flotufolastat F 18) injection (formerly known as ¹⁸F-rhPSMA-7.3) at the upcoming American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) 2024 Annual Meeting, to be held in Washington, DC, from September 29 – October 2, 2024. POSLUMA is indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in men with prostate cancer with suspected metastasis who are candidates for initial definitive therapy or with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.

“PET imaging with POSLUMA can reveal clinical information crucial to decision-making for men with prostate cancer, and we are excited to share new results with the radiation oncology community at ASTRO,” said Marco Campione, Chief Executive Officer of Blue Earth Diagnostics. “Presentations by our collaborators include additional results from the completed Phase 3 SPOTLIGHT study, which evaluated POSLUMA in recurrent prostate cancer, and results from an investigator-initiated study of POSLUMA PET and MRI in recurrent disease. Blue Earth Diagnostics will also host an Industry-Expert Theater event, ‘Let’s Talk About POSLUMA^® (flotufolastat F 18)’.”

Details of selected oral and poster presentations by Blue Earth Diagnostics and its collaborators are listed below.

Blue Earth Diagnostics invites participants at the 2024 ASTRO Annual Meeting to attend the presentations above and visit the company at Exhibit Booth 1949. Blue Earth Diagnostics is hosting an Industry-Expert Theater event, “Let’s Talk About POSLUMA^® (flotufolastat F 18),” which will feature invited speakers Sean Collins, MD, PhD, Professor, Georgetown University Hospital and Elizabeth Hawk, MS, MD, PhD, DABNM, DABR, University of California San Diego, and be moderated by Todd Cohen, MD, Blue Earth Diagnostics, Inc. The event will be held on Sunday, September 29, 2024, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET, in Theater 1, Exhibit Hall, of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Blue Earth Diagnostics also has a Medical Affairs information booth at ASTRO, where attendees can learn about the Company’s clinical research.

Indication and Important Safety Information About POSLUMA

INDICATION

POSLUMA^® (flotufolastat F 18) injection is indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in men with prostate cancer

• with suspected metastasis who are candidates for initial definitive therapy
• with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

• Image interpretation errors can occur with POSLUMA PET. A negative image does not rule out the presence of prostate cancer and a positive image does not confirm the presence of prostate cancer. The performance of POSLUMA for imaging metastatic pelvic lymph nodes in patients prior to initial definitive therapy seems to be affected by serum PSA levels and risk grouping. The performance of POSLUMA for imaging patients with biochemical evidence of recurrence of prostate cancer seems to be affected by serum PSA levels. Flotufolastat F 18 uptake is not specific for prostate cancer and may occur in other types of cancer, in non-malignant processes, and in normal tissues. Clinical correlation, which may include histopathological evaluation, is recommended.
• Risk of Image Misinterpretation in Patients with Suspected Prostate Cancer Recurrence: The interpretation of POSLUMA PET may differ depending on imaging readers, particularly in the prostate/prostate bed region. Because of the associated risk of false positive interpretation, consider multidisciplinary consultation and histopathological confirmation when clinical decision-making hinges on flotufolastat F 18 uptake only in the prostate/prostate bed region or only on uptake interpreted as borderline.
• POSLUMA use contributes to a patient’s overall long-term cumulative radiation exposure. Long-term cumulative radiation exposure is associated with an increased risk for cancer. Advise patients to hydrate before and after administration and to void frequently after administration. Ensure safe handling to minimize radiation exposure to the patient and health care providers.
• The adverse reactions reported in ≥0.4% of patients in clinical studies were diarrhea, blood pressure increase and injection site pain.
• Drug Interactions: androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and other therapies targeting the androgen pathway, such as androgen receptor antagonists, may result in changes in uptake of flotufolastat F 18 in prostate cancer. The effect of these therapies on performance of POSLUMA PET has not been established.

To report suspected adverse reactions to POSLUMA, call 1-844-POSLUMA (1-844-767-5862) or contact FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
