Background: Dopamine and somatostatin receptors on corticotroph pituitary adenomas are targets for medical treatment of Cushing’s disease (CD). Data indicate synergistic effects between pasireotide and cabergoline in improving biochemical control rates and clinical features in patients with CD.Objective: To evaluate safety and efficacy of pasireotide alone or with cabergoline in patients with CD.Methods: Patients: adults with ...

Introduction: Pasireotide sc has a proven favourable efficacy and safety profile in CD patients, as shown in clinical trials. Here, we report safety and efficacy results from an expanded-access study designed to allow CD patients to receive pasireotide until regulatory approval for commercial use and reimbursement was obtained in their country.Methods: Pasireotide-naïve adults with CD (mean 24-hour urinary free cortisol [mUFC; of three samples] exce...

Background: Pasireotide is a multireceptor-targeted somatostatin analogue that predominantly binds to somatostatin receptor subtype 5 (SSTR5) and provides sustained control of urinary free cortisol (UFC) levels in some patients with Cushing’s disease (CD). Cabergoline is a dopamine D2 receptor agonist with efficacy in some patients with CD. Most corticotropinomas co-express SSTR5 and D2, providing rationale for combination treatment with pasireotide and cabergoline. Resul...
