AZEDRA (
iobenguane I 131) 555 MBq/mL injection for intravenous use, Ultra-orphan Radiotherapeutic
The company said MRT is an effective form of therapy that uses radiopharmaceuticals including Lutathera (Lu-177 DOTATATE) and Azedra (I-131
iobenguane) to target tumors based on certain receptors that these tumors express.
TUESDAY, July 31, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- Azedra (
iobenguane) has been approved by the U.S.
It also provides an exclusive AdreView planar application for automated heart to mediastinum ratio generation for
Iobenguane I-123 images and the Dosimetry Toolkit for a quantitative SPECT and Planar calculation of the Radioisotope Therapy planning value.
(NASDAQ: MIPI), Cambridge, Mass., has initiated a Phase 2a clinical trial of Azedra (Ultratrace(tm)
iobenguane I-131 or Ultratrace MIBG) for the treatment of children with high-risk neuroblastoma, a neuroendocrine cancer that primarily affects children.
* There are insufficient data to recommend PET scanning or radionuclide imaging (with iodocholesterol or
iobenguane sulfate 1-123) in the evaluation of incidentally detected adrenal masses.
Imaging techniques (iodine 131
iobenguane sulfate I 123) greatly facilitate tumor localization and surgical planning.
AZEDRA (
iobenguane I 131) is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older with
iobenguane scan positive, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma who require systemic anticancer therapy.
The Azedra (
