SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction.
MECHANISM OF ACTION: Pegulicianine produces a fluorescent signal in and around tumor and tumor-associated cells. Blue dyes also produce a fluorescent signal and may affect the results of imaging with pegulicianine.(1)
CLINICAL EFFECTS: Fluorescence imaging with pegulicianine may not be accurate in patients who receive blue dyes for sentinel lymph node mapping.(1)
PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined.
PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Avoid administration of blue dyes for sentinel lymph node mapping in patients planned for imaging with pegulicianine.(1)
DISCUSSION: Blue dyes used for sentinel lymph node mapping produce a fluorescent signal that interferes with the fluorescent signal from pegulicianine. The potential of other dyes to interfere with pegulicianine imaging has not been evaluated.(1)
