Pharmacology

Indication

For the treatment of Cushing’s disease, specifically for those patients whom pituitary surgery has not been curative or is not an option.

Associated Conditions

Pharmacodynamics

Signifor® is an analogue of somatostatin that promotes reduced levels of cortisol secretion in Cushing's disease patients.

Mechanism of action

Pasireotide activates a broad spectrum of somatostatin receptors, exhbiting a much higher binding affinity for somatostatin receptors 1, 3, and 5 than octreotide in vitro, as well as a comparable binding affinity for somatostatin receptor 2. The binding and activation of the somatostatin receptors causes inhibition of ACTH secretion and results in reduced cortisol secretion in Cushing's disease patients. Also this agent is more potent than somatostatin in inhibiting the release of human growth hormone (HGH), glucagon, and insulin.

Absorption

The peak plasma concentration of pasireotide occurs in 0.25-0.5 hours. After administration of single and multiple doses, there is dose-proportionoal increases in Cmax and AUC.

Volume of distribution

Pasireotide is widely distributed and has a volume of distribution of >100L.

Protein binding

Plasma protein binding is 88%.

Metabolism

Metabolism is minimal.

Route of elimination

Pasireotide is eliminated mostly by hepatic clearance (biliary excretion)(about 48%) with some minor renal clearance (about 7.63%).

Half life

The half-life is 12 hours.

Clearance

The clearance in healthy patient is ~7.6 L/h and in Cushing’s disease patients is ~3.8 L/h.

Toxicity

The most common toxic effects observed are hyperglycemia, cholelithiasis, diarrhea, nausea, headache, abdominal pain, fatigue, and diabetes mellitus.
