Pasireotide (SOM230, trade name Signifor[2]) is an orphan drug approved in the United States[3] and Europe[4] for the treatment of Cushing's disease in patients who fail or are ineligible for surgical therapy.[5][6] 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[7] and by the FDA in December 2012.[8]

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.[9]
