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 ...

Background: Some patients with acromegaly do not achieve biochemical control despite receiving maximum-approved doses of currently available somatostatin analogues. This 24-week, randomized study assessed the multireceptor-targeted somatostatin analogue pasireotide LAR vs octreotide LAR/lanreotide Autogel in patients with inadequately controlled acromegaly.Methods: Eligible patients: ≥18 years with mean GH levels ≥2.5 μg/l and IGF1 level...
