Pasireotide (SOM230, trade name Signifor[2]) is an orphan drug approved in the U.S. and Europe for the treatment of Cushing's disease and acromegaly in patients who fail or are ineligible for surgical therapy.[3][4] It was developed by Novartis. Pasireotide is a somatostatin analog with a 40-fold increased affinity to somatostatin receptor 5 compared to other somatostatin analogs.

Pasireotide was approved for Cushing's disease by the EMEA in October 2009[5] and by the FDA in December 2012.[6]

Pasireotide LAR was approved by the FDA for treatment of acromegaly in December 2014, and had been approved for this indication by the EMEA one month earlier.[7]
