Acromegaly is a rare disease due to chronic excess growth hormone (GH) and IGF-1. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein (AIP) mutations are associated with an aggressive, inheritable form of acromegaly that responds poorly to SST2-specific ...

Long-term pasireotide therapy in acromegaly: extensive real-life experience of a referral center
Pasireotide is a novel therapeutic option for patients with acromegaly resistant to first-generation somatostatin receptor ligands. To date, real-life data are still scant, therefore, the aim of the current study is to evaluate the impact of long-term ...

Wang et al.1 (2009) and Zhang et al.2 (2011) recommended a fixed dosing approach for large molecule therapeutics for first‐in‐human (FIH) trials, based on the finding that the majority of α values (body size effect on clearance) were < 0.5 across 12 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and 18 therapeutic proteins (TPs) and peptides, and fixed dosing provides ...

The process of GPCR dimerization can have profound effects on GPCR activation, signaling, and intracellular trafficking. Somatostatin receptors (SSTs) are class A GPCRs abundantly expressed in pituitary tumors where they represent the main ...

Abstract Tumor‐infiltrating immune cells (TICs) are important components of the tumor microenvironment (TME). They regulate somatotroph adenoma treatment responses to therapy with somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs), mediated by soluble factors and cytokines. In this study, we assessed the effect of SRLs treatment on TICs.

Efficacy of pasireotide LAR for acromegaly: a prolonged real-world monocentric study
Background Acromegaly is caused by excessive growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1). Medical therapy plays a role as a treatment option for persistent disease after non-curative surgery or as a first-line therapy when surgery is not ...

Peptide‐Based Biomaterials as a Promising Tool for Cancer Radiotherapy
This review provides a systematic overview of peptide‐based biomaterials in tumor radiotherapy, covering their roles as both radiosensitizers and radiopharmaceuticals. Peptide‐based radiosensitizers are generally divided into three categories: peptides as direct radiosensitizers, peptides as carriers of radiosensitizers, and targeted‐peptide‐modified ...
