Pafolacianine, sold under the brand name Cytalux, is an imaging agent used in fluorescence-guided surgery.[1] Specifically it is used to find areas of ovarian cancer.[1] It is given by injection into a vein.[1]
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, flushing, chest discomfort, itching, and allergic reactions.[1] Use during pregnancy may harm the baby.[1] It is a fluorescent medication that binds to the folate receptor, which often occurs in high amounts in ovarian cancer.[1]
Pafolacianine was approved for medical use in the United States in 2021.[1] Other similar used agents include methylene blue, fluorescein sodium, and 5-ALA.[3]
Medical uses
Pafolacianine is indicated as an adjunct for intraoperative identification of malignant lesions in people with ovarian cancer.[1][2]
Dosage
It is generally given as 0.025 mg/kg one to nine hours before surgery.[1]
History
The safety and effectiveness of pafolacianine was evaluated in a randomized, multi-center, open-label study of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer or with high clinical suspicion of ovarian cancer who were scheduled to undergo surgery.[2][5] Of the 134 women (ages 33 to 81 years) who received a dose of pafolacianine and were evaluated under both normal and fluorescent light during surgery, 26.9% had at least one cancerous lesion detected that was not observed by standard visual or tactile inspection.[2][5]
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the application for pafolacianine orphan drug, priority review, and fast track designations.[2][5][6] The FDA granted the approval of Cytalux to On Target Laboratories, LLC.[2]
