Pasireotide (SOM230, trade name Signifor[1]) is an orphan drug approved in the U.S. and Europe for the treatment of Cushing's disease in patients who fail or are ineligible for surgical therapy.[2][3] It was developed by Novartis. Pasireotide is a somatostatin analog which has a 40-fold increased affinity to somatostatin receptor 5 than other somatostatin analogs.
The drug showed therapeutical potential in a recent study (PASPORT-CUSHINGS B2305) where 162 patients were treated with either 2x 600 µg or 2x 900 µg pasireotide s.c. daily.[4] The effectiveness of the treatment was checked by the UFC-value (urinary free cortisol) after six months of treatment. The mean reduction of UFC after six months was 47.9%, which also lead to amelioration of clinical symptoms such as blood pressure, cholesterol value, and weight loss.[5]
Pasireotide was approved by the EMEA in October 2009[6] and by the FDA in December 2012.[7]
