AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
AN-SULFUR COLLOID (Technetium Tc 99m Sulfur Colloid) is a radiopharmaceutical diagnostic agent approved in 1978 that uses radioactive decay to emit photons for medical imaging. It functions through uptake by the reticuloendothelial system or lymphatic transport depending on route of administration, enabling visualization of lymph nodes, shunts, esophageal transit, gastroesophageal reflux, and aspiration risk.
LOE Approaching
Product approaching loss of exclusivity signals potential team downsizing or portfolio realignment within the sponsor organization.
Mechanism of Action
99m decays by isomeric transition, emitting a photon that can be detected for imaging purposes. Following subcutaneous injection, Technetium Tc 99m Sulfur Colloid enters the lymphatic capillaries and is transported with lymph to lymph nodes. However, when there is massive nodal metastatic…
