Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE AdreView is a radiopharmaceutical agent for gamma-scintigraphy indicated for: use in the detection of primary or metastatic pheochromocytoma or neuroblastoma as an adjunct to other diagnostic tests ( 1.1 ) scintigraphic assessment of sympathetic innervation of the myocardium by measurement of the heart to mediastinum (H/M) ratio of radioactivity uptake in patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II or class III heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35%.

Among these patients, AdreView may be used to help identify patients with lower one and two year mortality risks, as indicated by an H/M ratio ≥ 1.6.

( 1.2 ) Limitations of Use: In patients with congestive heart failure, AdreView utility has not been established for: selecting a therapeutic intervention or for monitoring the response to therapy; using the H/M ratio to identify a patient with a high risk for death.

1.2 Congestive Heart Failure AdreView is indicated for scintigraphic assessment of sympathetic innervation of the myocardium by measurement of the heart to mediastinum (H/M) ratio of radioactivity uptake in patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II or class III heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35%.

Adverse Reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Serious hypersensitivity reactions have been reported following AdreView administration.

The most common adverse reactions, dizziness, rash, pruritis, flushing, headache, and injection site hemorrhage occurred in < 1.3% of patients.

6.1 Clinical Study 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.

During clinical development 1346 patients were exposed to AdreView, 251 patients with known or suspected pheochromocytoma or neuroblastoma, 985 patients with heart failure, and 110 control patients.

All patients were monitored for adverse reactions over a 24 hour period following AdreView administration.

Pheochromocytoma and Neuroblastoma Serious adverse reactions were not observed in the AdreView clinical study.

Adverse reactions were all mild to moderate in severity and were predominantly isolated occurrences (≤ 2 patients) of one of the following reactions: dizziness, rash, pruritus, flushing or injection site hemorrhage.

Congestive Heart Failure No serious adverse reactions to AdreView were observed in clinical studies.

Adverse reactions that occurred with a frequency > 1% were associated with the injection site (1.3%), problems such as hematoma and bruising.

The other most common reactions were flushing (0.3%) and headache (0.4%).

The adverse reactions were predominantly of mild to moderate intensity.

6.2 Postmarketing Experience Because postmarketing reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Hypersensitivity reactions have uncommonly been reported during the postmarketing use of AdreView [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ].
