What is Signifor LAR?

Signifor LAR is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Recordati. Signifor LAR is a somatostatin analog that decreases the amount of growth hormone made in the body. It is used to treat:

  • Patients with acromegaly who have not responded to surgery and/or for whom surgery is not an option. Treating acromegaly reduces the risk of serious problems such as diabetes and heart disease
  • Patients with Cushing’s disease for whom pituitary surgery is not an option or has not been curative. Cushing’s disease occurs when the body makes too much cortisol. High cortisol levels in the body may lead to high blood pressure and high blood sugar. Pasireotide works by decreasing the amount of cortisol made in the body

Signifor LAR is available as an injectable suspension, in the following doses: 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, 40 mg, and 60 mg, powder in a vial for reconstitution with 2 mL diluent.

Check fasting plasma glucose, hemoglobin A1c, liver enzyme tests, electrocardiogram (ECG), serum magnesium, and serum potassium, and ensure glucose levels are well controlled in patients with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus before starting treatment.

The initial dosage for acromegaly is 40 mg once every 4 weeks (every 28 days). The initial dosage for Cushing’s Disease is 10 mg by intramuscular injection once every 4 weeks (every 28 days).

For patients with hepatic impairment, Child-Pugh B the initial recommended dose for acromegaly is 20 mg once every 4 weeks with a maximum dose of 40 mg once every 4 weeks. For patients with hepatic impairment, Child-Pugh B the initial recommended dose for Cushing’s Disease is 10 mg once every 4 weeks with a maximum dose of 20 mg once every 4 weeks.
