This information is important for planning the appropriate course of therapy. “Netspot provides another diagnostic tool whose results will help clinicians determine the location and extent of the tumor. “Use of advanced imaging techniques to detect rare neuroendocrine tumors at an early stage in patients is critical,” Libero Marzella, MD, PhD, director of the Division of Medical Imaging Products in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in a press release. The studies reported no serious adverse reactions. The FDA based its approval on positive safety and efficacy results from three studies - the first compared Ga 68 dotatate images of neuroendocrine tumors to images obtained with an approved drug, which were then confirmed with CT or MRI the second study evaluated Ga 68 dotatate images using histopathology or clinical follow-up and the third study evaluated patients with neuroendocrine tumor recurrence using Ga 68 dotatate images.

Gallium 68 (68Ga) 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA)octreotate (DOTATATE, GaTate) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) is an imaging technique for detecting and characterizing neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). NETSPOT is a new FDA approved agent, gallium-68 dotatate, used as a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) tracer instead of radiolabeled glucose to better. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved NETSPOT (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 dotatate injection), a radioactive diagnostic agent. What this means is that the different institutions doing the Gallium-68 scan utilizing NETSPOT now have a. I had it done recently and the bill was 29,807 that’s right, 30. FDA Approves NETSPOT (kit for preparation of gallium Ga 68 dotatate injection) for Intravenous Use. Another exciting step forward for the NET community Advanced Accelerator Applications announced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has granted NETSPOT Transitional Pass-Through Status under an A-code (A9587) for drug reimbursement, effective January 1, 2017. Dear fellow patient: while the NETSpot/Gallium-68 scan is extremely good, please understand that it is extremely expensive. Netspot (Advanced Accelerator Applications USA) - a sterile, single-dose kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 dotatate intravenous injection, a radioactive diagnostic agent for PET imaging - is indicated to help locate tumors in adult and pediatric patients with somatostatin receptor positive neuroendocrine tumors. There’s a lot of excitement about the Gallium 68 PET Scan since it was approved by the US FDA (commercial name NETSPOT). NETSPOT as a single dose kit where only one unit dose is derived from each kit. The FDA approved the diagnostic imaging agent Netspot to detect rare neuroendocrine tumors.
