Predictive factors and the management of hyperglycemia in patients with acromegaly and Cushing’s disease receiving pasireotide treatment: post hoc analyses from the SOM230B2219 study [PDF]
IntroductionPasireotide, a somatostatin receptor ligand, is approved for treating acromegaly and Cushing’s disease (CD). Hyperglycemia during treatment can occur because of the drug’s mechanism of action, although treatment discontinuation is rarely ...

Insights into GLP-1 and insulin secretion mechanisms in pasireotide-induced hyperglycemia highlight effectiveness of Gs-targeting diabetes treatment [PDF]
Pasireotide frequently causes severe hyperglycemia; however, its detailed mechanism remains unknown. There are no published guidelines regarding the optimal management of pasireotide-induced hyperglycemia based on its pathophysiology.

Pasireotide-induced hyperglycemia in Cushing’s disease and Acromegaly: A clinical perspective and algorithms proposal [PDF]
Pasireotide is an effective treatment for both Cushing’s disease (CD) and acromegaly due to its ability to suppress adrenocorticotropic hormone and growth hormone, and to normalize insulin-like growth factor-1 levels, resulting in tumor shrinkage ...

Pasireotide treatment for severe congenital hyperinsulinism due to a homozygous ABCC8 mutation [PDF]
ABCC8 and KCJN11 mutations cause the most severe diazoxide-resistant forms of congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI). Somatostatin analogues are considered as secondline treatment in diazoxide-unresponsive cases.

Use of Pasireotide in Acromegaly: Clinical Experiences From a Series of Patients in Qatar. [PDF]
Background Acromegaly, a rare endocrine disorder characterised by excess growth hormone (GH) and insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1), is often due to GH‐secreting pituitary adenomas. Pasireotide, a second‐generation somatostatin receptor ligand (SRL), binds to multiple somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) and offers a promising alternative for patients ...
