ADREVIEW (iobenguane sulfate i-123)

Cardiovascular Approved 2008-09-19

AdreView is a radiopharmaceutical indicated for the detection of primary or metastatic pheochromocytoma or neuroblastoma as an adjunct to other diagnostic tests. It is also indicated for the scintigraphic assessment of myocardial sympathetic innervation in patients with NYHA Class II or III heart failure and an LVEF ≤ 35%. By calculating the heart-to-mediastinum (H/M) ratio of radioactivity uptake, AdreView helps identify patients with a lower risk of one- and two-year mortality (indicated by an H/M ratio ≥ 1.6). **Limitations of Use:** Its utility has not been established for selecting or monitoring therapeutic interventions, nor for identifying patients at high risk of death.

How ADREVIEW Works

Iobenguane is a structural analog of norepinephrine (NE) and is subject to the same uptake and accumulation pathways. It is transported into adrenergic nerve terminals via the norepinephrine transporter (NET) and stored within presynaptic storage vesicles. The agent accumulates in adrenergically innervated tissues (such as the myocardium) and neural crest-derived tumors. Labeling the molecule with the isotope Iodine-123 allows for the visualization of these tissues via gamma-scintigraphy.
