Indication for Cysview® (hexaminolevulinate HCl)

Cysview is indicated as an adjunct to White Light Cystoscopy in the diagnosis and follow up of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, including carcinoma in situ (CIS), in patients with known or suspected bladder cancer to increase tumor detection.

Only approved cystoscopic equipment should be used, equipped with necessary filters to allow both White Light Cystoscopy (WLC) and Blue Light (wavelength 360–450nm) fluorescence Cystoscopy (BLC®). Training in Blue Light Cystoscopy with an approved Photodynamic Diagnosis (PDD) System is essential prior to the use of Cysview.

 
 

Important Risk & Safety Information

Limitations of Use: Cysview is not a replacement for random bladder biopsies or other procedures used in the detection of bladder cancer. 


Contraindications: Cysview is contraindicated in patients with porphyria and/or hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any ingredient in the formulation or component of the container. False-positive fluorescence may result from tangential light, scope trauma from a previous cystoscopic examination, and/or bladder inflammation particularly from intravesical Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) or chemotherapy treatments. No specific drug interaction studies have been performed. 


Warnings and Precautions: Do not use in patients with gross hematuria. Do not use in patients at high risk of bladder inflammation, e.g., less than 90 days after intravesical BCG or chemotherapy. Do not use for retrograde uretero-renoscopy. Cysview has not been studied in pregnant women or pediatric populations. Cysview may not detect all malignant lesions. Very rare instances of hypersensitivity, including anaphylactic shock, have been reported during post-marketing use of Cysview. Advance life support facilities should be readily available. Biopsy/resect bladder mucosal lesions only following completion of both White Light and Blue Light Cystoscopy. 


Adverse Reactions: Most of the reported adverse reactions in clinical studies were transient and mild or moderate in intensity: bladder spasm 2.0%; dysuria 1.6%; bladder pain 1.4%; and hematuria 1.0%. The adverse reactions observed were expected based on previous experience with standard cystoscopy and TURBT procedures.
