LUMASON

The pharmacokinetic of the SF 6 gas component of Lumason was evaluated in 12 healthy adult subjects. After intravenous bolus injections of 0.03 mL/kg and 0.3 mL/kg of Lumason, corresponding to approximately 1 and 10 times the recommended doses, concentrations of SF 6 in blood peaked within 1 to 2 minutes for both doses. The terminal half-life of SF 6 in blood was approximately 10 minutes for the 0.3 mL/kg dose. The area-under-the-curve of SF 6 was dose-proportional over the dose range studied. D...

14.1 Echocardiography Adults A total of 191 patients with suspected cardiac disease and suboptimal non-contrast echocardiography received Lumason in three multi-center controlled clinical trials (76 patients in Study A, 62 patients in Study B, and 53 patients in Study C). Among these patients, there were 127 men and 64 women. The mean age was 59 years (range 22 to 96 years). The racial and ethnic representations were 79% White, 16% Black, 4% Hispanic, < 1% Asian, and < 1% other racial or ethnic groups. The mean weight was 204 lbs (range 92 to 405 lbs). Approximately 20% of the patients had a c...

Lumason is contraindicated in patients with known or suspected: Hypersensitivity to sulfur hexafluoride lipid microsphere or its components, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) and Description ( 11 )] . Hypersensitivity to sulfur hexafluoride lipid microspheres or its components, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) ( 4 )

Cardiopulmonary reactions, including fatalities. Always have resuscitation equipment and trained personnel readily available ( 5.1 ) Hypersensitivity reactions. Serious acute hypersensitivity reactions have occurred in patients with no prior exposure to sulfur hexafluoride lipid-containing microsphere products, including patients with prior hypersensitivity reaction(s) to PEG ( 5.2 , 6 ) 5.1 Serious Cardiopulmonary Reactions Serious cardiopulmonary reactions, including fatalities have occurred u...
