Common side effects include nausea, vomiting and flushing.[3]

It was approved for medical use in the United States in September 2020.[2][3]

Medical uses

Copper (64Cu) oxodotreotide is indicated for use with positron emission tomography (PET) for localization of somatostatin receptor positive neuroendocrine tumors in adults.[1]

History

The US Food and Drug Administration approved copper 64Cu dotatate based on data from two trials that evaluated 175 adults.[4]

Trial 1 evaluated adults, some of whom had known or suspected neuroendocrine tumors and some of whom were healthy volunteers.[4] The trial was conducted at one site in the United States (Houston, TX).[4] Both groups received copper 64Cu dotatate and underwent PET scan imaging.[4]

Trial 2 data came from the literature-reported trial of 112 adults, all of whom had history of neuroendocrine tumors and underwent PET scan imaging with copper 64Cu dotatate.[4] The trial was conducted at one site in Denmark.[4] In both trials, copper 64Cu dotatate images were compared to either biopsy results or other images taken by different techniques to detect the sites of a tumor.[4] The images were read as either positive or negative for presence of neuroendocrine tumors by three independent image readers who did not know participant clinical information.[4]

Society and culture

In May 2026, the European Medicines Agency recommended the refusal of the marketing authorization for Deqtynet, a diagnostic medicine intended for use with positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to detect well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors in adults.[5] The agency concluded that the medicine cannot be granted marketing authorization in the European Union because of the ten-year market exclusivity that had been granted for SomaKit TOC (edotreotide), which was authorized in December 2016, for a comparable condition.[5]
