Summary

This is a phase II, open-label, 12-month pilot study in 10 patients with silent corticotroph pituitary tumors testing the hypotheses that Pasireotide long-acting release (LAR) treatment of patients with silent corticotroph pituitary tumors and elevated plasma Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) levels will reduce plasma POMC levels and this will be associated with a reduction in pituitary tumor size. Pasireotide LAR 40 mg will be administered monthly. Baseline and monthly visits on therapy will monitor plasma levels of POMC, other pituitary function, safety labs, glucose tolerance, physical examination, and visual fields. Pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be done at baseline, 6 months and 12 months of therapy. The eligible patient population will consist of adult patients with known silent corticotroph pituitary tumors and elevated plasma levels of POMC.

Conditions

  • Pituitary Tumor
  • ACTH-producing Pituitary Tumour

Interventions

DRUG

Pasireotide LAR

Pasireotide LAR (SIGNIFOR® LAR) is a somatostatin analog indicated for the treatment of patients with acromegaly who have had an inadequate response to surgery and/or for whom surgery is not an option. It is a long acting release injectable suspension for intramuscular use. The starting dose is Pasireotide LAR 40 mg/month intramuscular (IM), this will be increased to 60 mg/month at 6 months if a fall in POMC levels and/or tumor shrinkage are not attained.
