Flotufolastat F-18, sold under the brand name Posluma, is a radioactive diagnostic agent used in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of prostate cancer.[1] Specifically it is used in prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive disease to look for spread or recurrence.[1] It is given by injection into a vein.[1]
Common side effects include diarrhea, high blood pressure, and pain at the site of injection.[1] Other side effects include exposure to radiation.[1] The active ingredient is flotufolastat F-18 gallium.[1]
Flotufolastat F-18 was approved for medical use in the United States in 2023.[1]
Medical uses
Flotufolastat F-18 is indicated for positron emission tomography of prostate-specific membrane antigen positive lesions in men with prostate cancer.[1]
