Osilodrostat in patients with persistent or recurrent Cushing's Disease: a real-life single center experience () - Oct 1, 2022 - Abstract #ENEA2022ENEA_219; Conclusions Osilodrostat treatment resulted in control of hypercortisolemia in patients unresponsive to previous medical therapies and sustained control but with a better dosing regimen and fewer side-effects in those who were already controlled. Based on our preliminary experience, it seems that osilodrostat is a promising effective and safe choice for the treatment of patients with CD with persistent or recurrent disease.

First-generation somatostatin receptor ligands in the treatment of acromegaly: real-world patient journey (Forum 1) - Oct 1, 2022 - Abstract #ENEA2022ENEA_117; Results The most common medication class observed was first-generation SRLs (i.e., lanreotide or octreotide; n=381), followed by DAs (n=241), GHRAs (n=109) and second-generation SRLs (i.e., pasireotide; n=11)...Interestingly, most patients did not switch medications after treatment initiation, indicating a degree of inertia in acromegaly treatment choices; patients may therefore achieve the best long‑term outcomes by initiating medications with greater persistence records.

Somatostatin and ghrelin systems characterization and therapeutic potential in liver diseases (Forum 1) - Oct 1, 2022 - Abstract #ENEA2022ENEA_78; Cell proliferation in response to natural (SST/CORT/NST) and synthetic (Lanreotide, Ocreotide, Pasireotide, BIM-23926) peptides was evaluated in human liver cells (cell lines and primary cultures)...In vitro assays revealed a decreased proliferation after treatment with SST, CORT, NST and the synthetic analogues, which was strongly dependent on the expression of the receptors. This study demonstrates an ample alteration of SST/CORT/NST and ghrelin systems in liver pathologies, and suggests the prognostic and therapeutic potential of certain components of these hormonal systems (i.e. GPR107) and of SST-analogues for their clinical management.

Retrospective data, Journal: Pasireotide treatment in Cushing's disease: A single tertiary center's experience. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 29, 2022 Pasireotide treatment is an alternative treatment in CD, remission is obtained in the first months of treatment, and continues for an extended period. Although hyperglycemia is the most common adverse effect, it can be successfully controlled.

Journal: Evaluation of PepT1 (SLC15A1) Substrate Characteristics of Therapeutic Cyclic Peptides. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 27, 2022 Although inhibition of Gly-Sar uptake was observed, uptake of octreotide and pasireotide was not increased in SLC15A1 overexpressing cells, indicating a lack of transport by hPepT1. Our data clearly indicate that octreotide and pasireotide are nonsubstrate inhibitors of hPepT1 and that their oral bioavailability cannot be explained by absorption via hPepT1.

Review, Journal: Second line treatment of acromegaly: Pasireotide or Pegvisomant? (Pubmed Central) - Aug 7, 2022 According to the high efficacy of these treatments and their molecular mechanisms of action, the choice of second line therapies should be personalized. In this review, we summarize the evidence on clinical, molecular and morphological aspects that may predict the response to second line therapies, in order to integrate and translate in the clinical practice for a patient-tailored therapeutic approach.

Journal: Somatostatin receptor ligands suppressed proliferation and lipogenesis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 5, 2022 We found that three SRLs (octreotide, TT232 and pasireotide) inhibited cell viability after 8-48 h but not 4 h...SRLs inhibit the proliferation and lipogenesis in preadipocytes. Their inhibitory effects on cell proliferation may be mediated by the downregulated PI3K/Akt pathway, and the suppressive actions on lipogenesis may be related to the decreased PPARγ and C/EBPα expression.

Preclinical, Journal: Improved pasireotide response in USP8 mutant corticotroph tumours in vitro. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 3, 2022 The murine Sstr5 promoter has two binding sites for the activating protein 1 (AP-1) and USP8 mutants possibly mediate their action by stimulating AP-1 transcriptional activity. Our data corroborate the USP8 mutational status as a potential marker of pasireotide response and describe a potential mechanism through which USP8 mutants may regulate SSTR5 gene expression.

Journal: P720R USP8 Mutation Is Associated with a Better Responsiveness to Pasireotide in ACTH-Secreting PitNETs. (Pubmed Central) - May 30, 2022 In situ Proximity Ligation Assay and immunoflurescence experiments revealed that P720R USP8 mutant is still able to bind 14-3-3 proteins in AtT-20 cells, without affecting SSTR5 localization. In conclusion, P720R USP8 mutation might be considered as a molecular predictor of favourable response to pasireotide in corticotroph tumor cells.

Journal: Incretin Response to Mixed Meal Challenge in Active Cushing's Disease and after Pasireotide Therapy. (Pubmed Central) - May 21, 2022 No differences in incretin response to MMTT were recorded during PAS therapy. The discrepancy between insulin and glucagon trends while on PAS may be an important pathophysiological mechanism in this iatrogenic DM; hence restoring insulin:glucagon ratio by either enhancing insulin secretion or reducing glucagon tone can be a potential therapeutic target.

Journal: Approach to the patient with treatment resistant acromegaly.

In these circumstances, therefore, repeated surgery, second-line medical therapy, and radiotherapy, alone or combined as multimodal therapeutic strategies should be considered, in a patient-centered perspective.

Inhibition of USP8 might represent a novel strategy to target both USP8-wild type and USP8-mutated tumors in CD patients.

Clinical, Journal: Combination of pasireotide and octreotide: effects on GH and IGF-I secretion and glucose metabolism in healthy volunteers. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 24, 2022 These results provide evidence that SSTR5 expression in PitNETs and PanNETs can be epigenetically regulated by the SSTR5-AS1 antisense transcript and, indirectly, by DNA methylation, which may thereby impact tumor behavior and treatment response. Combined low doses of pasireotide LAR (5 mg) and octreotide LAR (10-30 mg) provided greater suppression of IGF-I than either single agent and did not increase blood glucose or incidence of AEs versus either agent alone.

Long-term incubation with PAS showed a more potent antitumor activity than that reported after OCT in GH3 cells, mainly modulated by a cell cycle perturbation and a relevant induction in apoptosis.

Pasireotide, a second-generation SRL, shows higher efficacy with respect to both biochemical control and tumor shrinkage but has a worse safety profile...New formulations of available SRLs, such as oral, subcutaneous depot and nasal octreotide, may improve patients' adherence to treatment and quality of life since there will be more options available that better suit each patient. Finally, new drugs, such as paltusotine, somatropin, ONO-5788 and ONO-ST-468, may improve treatment adherence and present higher efficacy than currently available drugs.
