Netspot

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

No animal studies on fertility, embryology, mutagenic potential, or carcinogenic potential have been conducted with Ga 68 dotatate. However, genotoxicity studies conducted with a very similar molecule (mixture Lu 175 dotatate/dotatate) shows that these non-radioactive compounds do not induce mutation at the TK locus of L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells in vitro, nor reverse mutation in Salmonella typhimurium, or Escherichia coli (both in the absence or presence of S9 metabolic activation).
