Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with flutemetamol F 18 to evaluate its effect on female reproduction and embryo-fetal development. All radiopharmaceuticals, including VIZAMYL, have the potential to cause fetal harm depending on the stage of fetal development and the magnitude of the radiation dose. If considering VIZAMYL administration to a pregnant woman, inform the patient about the potential for adverse pregnancy outcomes based on the radiation dose from the drug and the gestational timing of exposure. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively."],"overdosage":["10 OVERDOSAGE The major risks of overdose relate predominantly to increased radiation exposure, with long-term risks for neoplasia.

Chemically, flutemetamol F 18 is 2-[3-[ 18 F]fluoro-4-(methylamino) phenyl]-6-benzothiazolol. It has the molecular formula C 14 H 11 18 FN 2 OS, the molecular weight 273.32, and the following structural formula: VIZAMYL is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, clear, colorless to slightly yellow solution. Each mL contains up to 2 mcg of flutemetamol and 150 MBq (4.05 mCi) of flutemetamol F 18 at reference date and time with the following inactive ingredients: 70 microL ethanol, 9 mg sodium chloride, and 4.98 mg polysorbate 80 (w/v) in 0.014 M aqueous phosphate buffer. The pH of the solution is between 6 and 8.5. Chemical Structure 11.2 Nuclear Physical Characteristics Fluorine-18 (F 18) decays by positron emission (ß+ decay, 96.7%) and orbital electron capture (3.3%) to stable oxygen-18 and has a physical half-life of 109.8 minutes. The principal photons useful for diagnostic imaging are the coincident pair of 511 keV gamma photons, resulting from the interaction of the emitted positron with an electron (Table 3). Table 3: Principal Radiation Produced from Decay of Fluorine-18 Radiation Energy Level (keV) Abundance (%) Positron 249.8 96.7 Gamma 511 193.4 The point source air-kerma rate constant for F 18 is 3.74E -17 Gy m 2 /(Bq s); this coefficient was formerly defined as the specific gamma-ray constant of 5.7 R/hr/mCi at 1 cm. The first half-value thickness of lead (Pb) for F 18 gamma rays is approximately 6 mm. The relative reduction of radiation emitted by F 18 that results from various thicknesses of lead shielding is shown in Table 4. The use of ~8 cm of Pb will decrease the radiation transmission (i.e., exposure) by a factor of about 10,000.

No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between subjects 65 years of age and older and younger adult subjects."],"pediatric_use":["8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of VIZAMYL have not been established in pediatric patients."],"effective_time":"20260406","clinical_studies":["14 CLINICAL STUDIES 14.1 Evaluation of AD and Other Causes of Cognitive Decline The effectiveness of VIZAMYL was evaluated in two single-arm clinical studies (i.e., Studies 1 and 2) in adult subjects with a range of cognitive function, including some terminally ill subjects who had agreed to participate in a postmortem brain donation program as well as healthy subjects. Subjects underwent a VIZAMYL injection and scan. The images were interpreted using a clinically applicable binary image interpretation method (negative or positive) by five independent readers blinded to all clinical information [see Dosage and Administration (2.3 , 2.4 , 2.5) ]. PET images were reviewed first without, and subsequently with, brain CT or MRI images. Before image interpretation, all readers underwent in-person training or electronic media training. To determine the agreement between the in vivo VIZAMYL image results and the postmortem amyloid beta neuritic plaque density, VIZAMYL results (negative or positive) were pre-specified to correspond with specific histopathology-derived plaque density scores, based upon a modification of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD) criteria (Table 6), which use neuritic plaque counts as a necessary pathological feature of AD. Plaques were counted on microscope slides with modified Bielschowsky silver stained tissue sections. The global neuritic plaque density score for each subject was determined by averaging across the scores (0-3) for five gray matter fields per slide and then across six slides for each of eight regions; if any one region had a score of greater than 1.5, the subject was classified as positive for amyloid beta. Table 6: Categorization of Histopathology and VIZAMYL PET Read Histopathology Categorization VIZAMYL PET Read Neuritic Plaque Counts CERAD Score 0 None (0) Negative 1 to 5 Sparse (1) 6 to 19 Moderate (2) Positive >20 Frequent (3) Study 1 evaluated performance characteristics (sensitivity and specificity) in terminally ill subjects by comparing the premortem VIZAMYL PET images to a postmortem truth standard of cortical amyloid beta neuritic plaque density. A total of 180 subjects were dosed with VIZAMYL and 176 were imaged. The mean age was 80 years (range 47 to 98 years) and 57% of the subjects were female. By medical history, 135 subjects had dementia, one subject had memory loss of unspecified nature, and 44 subjects had no cognitive impairment. Among the imaged subjects, 68 subjects who died during the study and had cerebral cortical amyloid status determined were included in the primary analysis. The time interval between the VIZAMYL scan and death ranged from 0 to 13 months, with a median of 2.6 months, and was less than one year for 66 subjects and between 12 to 13 months for 2 subjects. At autopsy, the global brain neuritic plaque density category (CERAD score as in Table 6) was available for 67/68 subjects: frequent (n = 19); moderate (n = 22); sparse (n = 14); and none (n = 12). Study 2 evaluated inter-reader and intra-reader reproducibility of image interpretation using images from subjects with a truth standard (68 subjects who underwent an autopsy in Study 1 and 36 subjects who had known or suspected normal pressure hydrocephalus with in vivo brain biopsy) and subjects without a truth standard (80 subjects with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), 33 subjects with probable AD (pAD), 28 cognitively normal subjects 55 years of age and older, and 31 young healthy subjects). Additionally, intra-reader reproducibility was assessed with images from 29 subjects (10%). Among the 276 subjects, the mean age was 68 years (range 20 to 95 years), 136 were females, and 251 were White. Readers were naïve to all forms of amyloid PET imaging and underwent electronic media training. Among subjects who underwent autopsy (n=68; 43 positive and 25 negative based on histopathology), the sensitivity using the majority interpretation of the readers trained using electronic media was 93% (95% CI: 81%, 99%) and specificity was 84% (95% CI: 64%, 96%). The median (and range) of correct, false negative, and false positive reads were 59 (51, 61), 5 (3, 8), 3 (2, 14), respectively, for in-person training; and were 60 (55 to 61), 3 (3 to 6), 4 (2 to 10), respectively, for electronic media training. Table 7 shows inter-reader reproducibility results among readers for various subject groups in Study 2. Inter-reader reproducibility analyses showed an overall Fleiss' kappa statistic of 0.83 (95% CI: 0.79, 0.86), which met the pre-specified success criterion (95% CI lower bound > 0.60). Intra-reader reproducibility analyses showed that between the two readings for each of the 29 duplicate scans, one of the five readers had complete agreement for all 29 scans, two readers had discordant reads for a single scan, and two readers had discordant reads for two scans. Intra-reader reproducibility for a subgroup of eight scans from aMCI subjects showed that all five readers had complete agreement for all duplicate scans.

Subsequently, cerebral perfusion decreases the brain flutemetamol F 18 content, with differential retention of the drug in cortical areas that contain amyloid beta aggregates compared to areas that lack the aggregates. The time-activity curves for flutemetamol F 18 in the brain of subjects with positive scans shows continual signal increases from time zero through 30 minutes post administration, with stable values thereafter up to at least 120 minutes post-injection. Differences in signal intensity between brain regions showing specific and non-specific flutemetamol F 18 uptake form the basis for the image interpretation method [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . The test-retest distribution of flutemetamol F 18 was evaluated in five subjects with probable AD who underwent two administrations of flutemetamol F 18 (followed by PET scans) separated by a time period of 1 to 4 weeks.

( 5.1 ) Risk of Image Misinterpretation and Other Errors: Image interpretation errors have been observed. ( 5.2 ) Radiation Risk: VIZAMYL contributes to a patient's long-term cumulative radiation exposure. Ensure safe drug handling to protect patients and health care providers from unintentional radiation exposure. Advise patients to hydrate before and after administration and to void frequently after administration. ( 2.1 , 2.2 , 5.3 ) 5.1 Anaphylaxis and Other Serious Hypersensitivity Reactions Serious hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, presenting with flushing, dyspnea, and hypotension, have been observed within minutes following VIZAMYL administration. These reactions may occur in patients with no history of exposure to VIZAMYL [see Adverse Reactions (6.1 , 6.2) ] . Obtain a history of allergy or hypersensitivity reactions. Always have resuscitation equipment and trained personnel immediately available at the time of VIZAMYL administration. If a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected, immediately discontinue the injection and initiate appropriate therapy. VIZAMYL is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to VIZAMYL or polysorbate 80 [see Contraindications (4) ] . 5.2 Risk of Image Misinterpretation and Other Errors Errors may occur in the estimation of amyloid beta neuritic plaque density during VIZAMYL image interpretation [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . The use of clinical information in the interpretation of VIZAMYL images has not been evaluated and may lead to an inaccurate assessment. Extensive brain atrophy and motion artifacts that distort the image may limit the ability to distinguish gray and white matter on a VIZAMYL scan. Perform image interpretation independently of the patient's clinical information. For cases where there is uncertainty as to the location of cortical signal, use co-registered anatomical imaging to improve localization of signal or examine the striatum for VIZAMYL signal as it is less affected by atrophy [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . 5.3 Radiation Risk VIZAMYL contributes to a patient's overall long-term cumulative radiation exposure. Long-term cumulative radiation exposure is associated with an increased risk of cancer. Ensure safe drug handling to protect patients and health care providers from unintentional radiation exposure. Advise patients to hydrate before and after administration and to void frequently after administration [see Dosage and Administration (2.1 , 2.2) ] ."],"clinical_studies_table":["<table width=\"80%\"><caption>Table 6: Categorization of Histopathology and VIZAMYL PET Read</caption><col width=\"34%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"/><col width=\"33%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"/><col width=\"33%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"/><thead><tr styleCode=\"botrule\"><th styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\" colspan=\"2\">Histopathology Categorization</th><th styleCode=\"Rrule\" rowspan=\"2\">VIZAMYL PET Read</th></tr><tr><th styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">Neuritic Plaque Counts</th><th styleCode=\"Rrule\">CERAD Score</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr styleCode=\"botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">0</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">None (0)</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\" rowspan=\"2\">Negative</td></tr><tr styleCode=\"botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">1 to 5</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">Sparse (1)</td></tr><tr styleCode=\"botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">6 to 19</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">Moderate (2)</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\" rowspan=\"2\">Positive</td></tr><tr><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">&gt;20</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">Frequent (3)</td></tr></tbody></table>","<table width=\"90%\"><caption>Table 7: Inter-Reader Reproducibility of VIZAMYL PET Read Results for Various Subject Groups in Study 2<footnote ID=\"t71\">Readers were na&#xEF;ve to all forms of amyloid PET imaging and underwent electronic media training.</footnote></caption><col width=\"25%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"/><col width=\"15%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"/><col width=\"15%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"/><col width=\"15%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"/><col width=\"15%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"/><col width=\"15%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"/><thead><tr styleCode=\"botrule\"><th styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\" align=\"left\" rowspan=\"2\">Subject Group by Cognitive Status and Truth Standard (TS)</th><th styleCode=\"Rrule\" rowspan=\"2\">Positive Scans, N<footnote ID=\"t72\">Shown is the median number of scans interpreted as positive across the five readers for each subgroup of subjects listed in the first column.</footnote></th><th styleCode=\"Rrule\" rowspan=\"2\">Kappa (95% CI)</th><th styleCode=\"Rrule\" colspan=\"3\">Percent of Scans with Inter-Reader Agreement</th></tr><tr><th styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">3 of 5 readers agreed</th><th styleCode=\"Rrule\">4 of 5 readers agreed</th><th styleCode=\"Rrule\">5 of 5 readers agreed</th></tr></thead><tfoot><tr><td align=\"left\" colspan=\"6\">pAD: probable AD;

( 2.2 ) Follow injection with an intravenous flush of 5 mL to 15 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride injection. ( 2.2 ) Obtain 10-minute to 20-minute PET images starting approximately 60 minutes to 120 minutes after drug administration. ( 2.3 ) See full prescribing information for image interpretation and radiation dosimetry. ( 2.4 , 2.5 , 2.6 ) 2.1 Radiation Safety - Drug Handling Handle VIZAMYL with appropriate safety measures to minimize radiation exposure during administration [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . Use waterproof gloves and effective radiation shielding, including lead-glass syringe shields when handling and administering VIZAMYL. Radiopharmaceuticals, including VIZAMYL, should be used by or under the control of healthcare providers who are qualified by specific training and experience in the safe use and handling of radionuclides, and whose experience and training have been approved by the appropriate governmental agency authorized to license the use of radionuclides. 2.2 Recommended Dosage and Administration Instructions Recommended Dosage The recommended amount of activity of VIZAMYL is 185 MBq (5 mCi) in a total volume of up to 10 mL, administered as a single intravenous bolus within 40 seconds. The maximum mass dose is 20 mcg. Follow the injection with an intravenous flush of 5 mL to 15 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride injection. Patient Preparation Instruct patients to hydrate before and after VIZAMYL administration and to void frequently following VIZAMYL administration to reduce radiation exposure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . Administration Use aseptic technique and radiation shielding to withdraw and administer VIZAMYL. Visually inspect VIZAMYL for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Do not use VIZAMYL if it contains particulate matter or if it is discolored. Do not dilute VIZAMYL. Calculate the necessary volume to administer based on calibration time and required dose. Measure the activity of VIZAMYL with a dose calibrator immediately prior to administration to the patient. Dispose of unused product in a safe manner in compliance with applicable regulations. 2.3 Image Acquisition Instructions Position the patient supine with the head positioned to center the brain, including the cerebellum, within a single field of view. The patient's head should be tilted so that the anterior commissure-posterior commissure (AC-PC) plane is at right angles to the bore-axis of the PET scanner, with the head positioned in a suitable head support. Tape or other flexible head restraints may be employed to reduce head movement. Acquire 10-minute to 20-minute PET images starting 60 minutes to 120 minutes after VIZAMYL administration using a PET scanner in 3-D mode with appropriate data corrections. Iterative or filtered back-projection reconstruction is recommended with a slice thickness of 2 mm to 4 mm, and matrix size of 128 × 128 with pixel sizes of approximately 2 mm. Where a post-smoothing filter is applied, full width at half maximum (FWHM) of not more than 5 mm is recommended; filter FWHM should be chosen to optimize the signal-to-noise ratio while preserving the sharpness of the reconstructed image. 2.4 Image Orientation and Display Image Orientation Orient axial and coronal images to show symmetry of brain structures, with equal heights of structures bilaterally. Orient sagittal images so that the head and neck are neither flexed nor extended; the anterior and posterior aspects of the corpus callosum should be parallel to the AC-PC line as shown in Figure 2. Image Display Display images with all planes (axial, sagittal, and coronal planes) linked by crosshairs. Select a color scale that provides a progression of low through high intensity (e.g., rainbow or Sokoloff). The selected color scale should: (1) provide colors that allow the reader to discriminate signal intensity above and below the signal intensity of the pons; (2) provide a color for regions with little or no amyloid binding such as the cerebellar cortex; and (3) provide a range of at least five distinct colors above 50% to 60% of the peak signal intensity. Display the reference scale. Adjust the color scale to set the pons to approximately 90% maximum signal intensity. The cerebellar cortex should represent approximately 20% to 30% of peak signal intensity on both negative and positive VIZAMYL scans. Display axial brain slices sequentially from the bottom of the brain to the top and look for signs of atrophy. Systematically review signal intensity in the following brain regions (recommended plane) for image interpretation [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] : Frontal lobes (axial, with optional sagittal plane view) Posterior cingulate and precuneus (sagittal, with optional coronal plane view) Lateral temporal lobes (axial, with optional coronal plane view) Inferolateral parietal lobes (coronal, with optional axial plane view) Striatum (axial, with optional sagittal plane view) 2.5 Image Interpretation Visual Assessment VIZAMYL images should be interpreted only by readers who successfully complete the training program provided by the manufacturer [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Perform image interpretation independently of the patient's clinical features, relying on the recognition of unique image features. Interpret VIZAMYL images based upon the distribution of signal intensity within the cerebral cortex by comparing the signal intensity in the cortical gray matter and the adjacent white matter, or based on the signal intensity in the five regions mentioned above [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . The signal intensity in the cerebellum does not contribute to scan interpretation. For example, a positive scan may show retained cerebellar gray-white contrast even when the cortical gray-white contrast is lost. Among patients with clinically important amyloid beta neuritic plaques in the brain, the temporal lobes, parietal lobes, and striatum may not be as affected compared to other brain regions. Therefore, in some images, the signal in these regions may not be as intense as in the frontal lobes or the posterior cingulate and precuneus regions. Some scans may be difficult to interpret due to image noise, suboptimal patient positioning, or over-smoothing of the reconstructed image. Atrophy may affect the interpretability of scans, particularly in the frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes. Other factors that may affect the ability to interpret VIZAMYL images include patient factors such as brain pathology, surgical changes, post-radiation therapy changes, and implants. For cases in which atrophy is apparent or suspected and there is uncertainty as to the location of the gray matter on the PET scan, examine the striatum for VIZAMYL signal as it is less affected by atrophy than other regions of the brain. If the patient's MRI or CT brain images are available, examine the CT or MRI images to clarify the relationship between VIZAMYL signal and gray matter anatomy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Negative VIZAMYL Scan Negative scans show more signal in white matter than in gray matter, creating clear gray-white matter contrast. Specifically, a negative scan would have the following characteristics: frontal, lateral temporal, and inferolateral parietal lobes: gradual gradient from bright intensity of the white matter to lower intensity at the periphery of the brain; distinct sulci with concave surfaces (white matter sulcal pattern), and posterior cingulate and precuneus: gray matter uptake below 50% to 60% of peak intensity; gap of lower intensity separates two hemispheres on coronal view, and striatum: approximately 50% of peak intensity or lower in the region between the higher intensities of the thalamus and frontal white matter (striatal \"gap\"). A negative scan indicates sparse to no neuritic plaques. In patients being evaluated for AD and other causes of cognitive decline who have not been treated with amyloid beta-directed therapy, a negative scan is inconsistent with a neuropathological diagnosis of AD at the time of image acquisition and reduces the likelihood that a patient's cognitive impairment is due to AD. A negative scan result does not preclude the accumulation of amyloid beta in the brain in the future. Positive VIZAMYL Scan Positive scans show at least one cortical region with reduction or loss of the normally distinct gray-white matter contrast. These scans have one or more regions with increased cortical gray matter signal (above 50% to 60% peak intensity) and/or reduced (or absent) gray-white matter contrast (white matter sulcal pattern is less distinct). A positive scan may have one or more regions in which gray matter signal is as intense or exceeds the intensity in adjacent white matter. Specifically, a positive scan would have the following characteristics: frontal, lateral temporal, or inferolateral parietal lobes: high intensity seen to the periphery of the brain, with sharp reduction of intensity at the brain margin; sulci may not be distinct due to fill-in by high intensity gray matter resulting in a convex appearance of the surface at the edge of the brain, or posterior cingulate and precuneus: gray matter uptake above 50% to 60% of peak intensity; high gray matter intensity that closes the gap between the two hemispheres on coronal view, or striatum: intensity above 50% to 60% of peak intensity; gap between thalamus and frontal white matter not distinct. If any one of the brain regions systematically reviewed for signal intensity is positive in either hemisphere, then the scan is considered positive [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . Otherwise, the scan is considered negative. A positive scan establishes the presence of moderate to frequent neuritic plaques. Neuropathological examination has shown that moderate to frequent amyloid beta neuritic plaques are present in patients with AD, but may also be present in patients with other types of neurologic conditions as well as older people with normal cognition. Figures 1, 2, and 3 provide examples of negative and positive scans. Figure 1: Axial View of Negative (left) and Positive (right) VIZAMYL Scans. The axial slices that cut through the frontal pole and inferior aspect of the splenium are shown using a rainbow color scale. The left image shows a white matter sulcal pattern at the frontal (f) and lateral temporal (lt) regions with a color intensity that tapers to the periphery, as well as less signal intensity in the striatal region(s). The right image shows absence of the white matter sulcal pattern with intensity radiating to a sharply defined convex edge, as well as more signal intensity in the striatum. In both the frontal and lateral temporal regions, the intensity is higher in the gray matter regions of the right image compared to those of the left image. Figure 2: Sagittal View of Negative (left) and Positive (right) VIZAMYL Scans. The sagittal slices are slightly off midline in one hemisphere and shown using a rainbow color scale. In the posterior cingulate (pc) region, which is superior and posterior to the corpus callosum (cc), the left image shows signal intensity below 50% of peak intensity whereas the right image shows intensity above 60% of peak intensity. The pons (p) is set to approximately 90% of the maximum intensity. Figure 3: Coronal View of Negative (left) and Positive (right) VIZAMYL Scans. The coronal slices are located posterior to the corpus callosum. The left image shows a white matter sulcal pattern in the inferior parietal (ip) regions that is not evident in the right image. Relative to the left image, the right image shows increased signal intensity in the posterior cinguli (pc) and increased radial extent of high intensity to the lateral surfaces of the parietal lobes particularly evident in the inferior parietal regions. Quantitative Analysis Quantification of amyloid beta neuritic plaque levels (e.g., Centiloid scale or standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR)) can be used in conjunction with visual assessment and performed with FDA-authorized software indicated for quantification of brain amyloid PET scans. Refer to the drug manufacturer's training materials for qualitative and quantitative assessment and to the software manufacturers' documentation for software operation. Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 2.6 Radiation Dosimetry Estimated radiation absorbed doses for adults following intravenous injection of VIZAMYL are shown in Table 1. Values were calculated from human biodistribution data using OLINDA/EXM software and assuming emptying of the urinary bladder at 3.5-hour intervals. The whole-body effective dose resulting from administration of 185 MBq (5 mCi) of VIZAMYL to an adult is estimated to be 5.9 mSv. When PET/CT is performed, exposure to radiation will increase by an amount dependent on the settings used in the CT acquisition.

A lactating woman should pump and discard breast milk for 24 hours after VIZAMYL administration. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on VIZAMYL use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with flutemetamol F 18 to evaluate its effect on female reproduction and embryo-fetal development. All radiopharmaceuticals, including VIZAMYL, have the potential to cause fetal harm depending on the stage of fetal development and the magnitude of the radiation dose. If considering VIZAMYL administration to a pregnant woman, inform the patient about the potential for adverse pregnancy outcomes based on the radiation dose from the drug and the gestational timing of exposure. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of flutemetamol F 18 or metabolites in human milk or its effects on the breastfed infant or milk production. Exposure of VIZAMYL to a breastfed infant can be minimized by temporary discontinuation of breastfeeding (see Clinical Considerations ). The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for VIZAMYL and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from VIZAMYL or from the underlying maternal condition. Clinical Considerations To decrease radiation exposure to the breastfed infant, advise a lactating woman to interrupt breastfeeding, and pump and discard breast milk for 24 hours after administration of VIZAMYL. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of VIZAMYL have not been established in pediatric patients. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 761 subjects in clinical studies of VIZAMYL, 447 (59%) subjects were 65 years of age and older, while 246 (32%) subjects were 75 years of age and older.
