How Are Radiopharmaceuticals Evaluated for Safety?
Radiopharmaceuticals undergo rigorous testing and evaluation before they are approved for clinical use. This process includes preclinical studies to assess toxicology, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics, as well as clinical trials to evaluate their safety and efficacy in humans. Regulatory agencies such as the FDA and the EMA ensure that only safe and effective radiopharmaceuticals are available to patients.
