Because its half-life is longer than somatostatin, pasireotide can be used clinically to treat neuroendocrine pituitary tumors that secrete excessive amounts of growth hormone causing acromegaly, or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) causing Cushing disease. Pasireotide has many side effects including suppression of gall bladder contractility and bile production, and maintenance therapy can cause cholelithiasis and accompanying elevations in serum enzymes and bilirubin.</p></div><div id="Pasireotide.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Pasireotide (pa" ze ree' oh tide) is a synthetic octapeptide and analogue of somatostatin that is used for its ability to suppress levels and activities of hormones (growth hormone, insulin, gastrin, secretin, glucagon) or active neuropeptides (serotonin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide [VIP]). Natural somatostatin is produced in the hypothalamus and acts to suppress growth hormone release from the pituitary. Somatostatin is also found in other neurons throughout the body and particularly in intestinal and pancreatic neurons, where it is active in suppressing release of hormones and neuropeptides such as insulin, glucagon, ACTH, gastrin, secretin, motilin, VIP, serotonin and cholecystokinin. Because of its short half-life (~3 minutes), somatostatin is impractical as a therapeutic agent, and analogues have been developed that have a more favorable pharmacological profile such as octreotide, pasireotide and lanreotide, all three of which have been marketed in long acting release (LAR) forms to allow once weekly or monthly administration. Pasireotide appears to interact largely with the somatostatin subtypes 1, 2 and 3 and possibly subtype 5 receptors, but otherwise acts in a similar manner to somatostatin. Pasireotide therapy has been shown to improve symptoms and complications of several neuroendocrine tumors including abnormal growth in acromegaly due to growth hormone secreting pituitary tumors and symptoms of excessive glucocorticoid production due to ACTH secreting pituitary tumors. Pasireotide was approved for use in treating Cushing disease in the United States in 2012 and a long acting form for as treatment of acromegaly in 2014. Pasireotide is available under the brand name Signifor in single dose ampules of 0.3, 0.6 and 0.8 mg in one mL solution for injection which is administered as a subcutaneous injection in doses of 0.3 to 0.9 mg twice daily (for Cushing disease). Pasireotide has been formulated also in a long acting release form under the brand name Signifor LAR, in 20, 40 and 60 mg vials of powder for reconstitution, the recommended dose (acromegaly) being 40 mg by intramuscular injection every 4 weeks with subsequent titration based upon efficacy and tolerance. Side effects are common. Adverse events from single injections include influenza-like symptoms of fatigue, headache, nausea and vomiting and local infusion reactions. With continued therapy, adverse events can include diarrhea, abdominal pain, back pain, headache, dizziness, hypothyroidism, hypo- and hyperglycemia, arrhythmias and gall bladder disease.</p></div><div id="Pasireotide.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Mild, transient, asymptomatic elevations in serum aminotransferase levels occur in up to 29% of patients receiving pasireotide LAR, but elevations above 5 times the upper limit of normal are rare (&#x0003c;1%) and no case of clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice was reported in the preregistration trials of pasireotide in acromegaly. In some instances, the serum enzyme elevations appeared to reflect cholelithiasis and cholecystitis rather than hepatic injury and in all cases the abnormalities resolved, usually without dose modification or discontinuation. Similar or greater rates of liver test abnormalities were observed with octreotide LAR therapy. Since its approval and more widescale use, there have been no published reports of liver injury or hepatitis attributed to pasireotide. The product label for pasireotide mentions that hepatic serum enzyme elevations can occur on therapy and recommends monitoring &#x0201c;prior to and during therapy.&#x0201d;</p><p>Pasireotide causes inhibition of gall bladder contractility and a decrease in bile secretion, and long term therapy is associated with a high rate of cholesterol gallstone formation. In prospective studies, between 20% and 30% of patients with acromegaly treated with maintenance pasireotide for one to two years developed gallstones detected by ultrasonography and a proportion developed symptomatic cholelithiasis requiring hospitalization and cholecystectomy. Even after cholecystectomy, cholesterol stones may form in the common bile duct and intrahepatic ducts during somatostatin analogue therapy which can cause symptoms and liver test abnormalities. Therapy with ursodiol does not appear to prevent gallstone formation related to somatostatin analogue therapy, although it may help.</p><p><a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.likelihood-score/">Likelihood score</a>: E* (unproven but suspected rare cause of clinically apparent hepatobiliary injury).</p></div><div id="Pasireotide.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>Pasireotide, like somatostatin, decreases cholecystokinin secretion, gall bladder contractility and bile secretion, perhaps accounting for the high rate of gall bladder sludge and stone formation with long term use. How infusions of pasireotide might cause acute liver injury independent of its effect on bile flow and gall bladder function is uncertain. Pasireotide is a polypeptide and, as such, should not have direct or even indirect hepatic toxicity. Thus, the liver injury, like the gall bladder effects, is likely caused by what pasireotide does, rather than by its chemical structure or what it is. Pasireotide has multiple effects on the gastrointestinal tract, including effects on gastrointestinal hormone levels, motility, transit time, bacterial flora, and bile acid concentrations.</p></div><div id="Pasireotide.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>The product label for pasireotide recommends evaluation of &#x0201c;liver enzyme test prior to and during treatment.&#x0201d; The liver test abnormalities during pasireotide therapy generally resolve rapidly with stopping therapy, but may resolve even with drug continuation. Patients should be monitored if pasireotide is restarted after liver test abnormalities resolve. Nevertheless, in many instances, pasireotide has been restarted without recurrence. There is little information on cross sensitivity to liver injury among the different somatostatin analogues, but liver injury has been reported most frequently with octreotide.</p><p>Drug Class: Hormonal Agents; <a href="/books/n/livertox/AntineoplasticAgents/">Antineoplastic Agents</a>; <a href="/books/n/livertox/GastrointestinalAgen/">Gastrointestinal Agents</a></p><p>Other Drugs in the Subclass, Hormonal Agents, Somatostatin Analogues: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Lanreotide/">Lanreotide</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Octreotide/">Octreotide</a></p></div></div><div id="Pasireotide.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Pasireotide_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><div id="Pasireotide.BPI" class="box"><p>
