What is Signifor?

Signifor is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Novartis Pharmaceuticals. It is a somatostatin analog indicated for the treatment of Cushing’s disease or acromegaly (an endocrine disorder caused by elevated growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels) in adults for whom pituitary surgery is not an option or has not been curative.

Signifor can cause a serious heart problem. Your risk may be higher if you also use certain other medicines for infections, asthma, heart problems, high blood pressure, depression, mental illness, cancer, malaria, or HIV.

What doses of Signifor are available?

Signifor is available in injection form, in the following doses: 0.3 mg/mL, 0.6 mg/mL, and 0.9 mg/mL in a single-dose ampule.

Signifor is injected under the skin, usually twice per day. Signifor LAR is injected into a muscle once every 4 weeks.

The initial dosage is either 0.6 mg or 0.9 mg by subcutaneous injection twice a day. The recommended dosage range is 0.3 mg to 0.9 mg twice a day. Titrate the dosage based on treatment response [clinically meaningful reduction in 24-hour urinary free cortisol (UFC) and/or improvements in signs and symptoms of disease] and tolerability. The reduced initial dosage is recommended for patients with hepatic impairment.

Testing is required before treatment is initiated. Fasting plasma glucose, hemoglobin A1c, liver tests, electrocardiogram (ECG), and gallbladder ultrasound.

If you miss a dose use the medicine as soon as you can but skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not use two doses at one time. If you miss a dose of Signifor LAR, you can receive your missed dose up to 14 days before your next dose.

Always speak with a healthcare professional about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Signifor active ingredients

Signifor contains pasireotide as the active ingredient. Treatment with Signifor leads to suppression of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion in Cushing’s disease. Suppression of ACTH may stop the overproduction of cortisol from the adrenal gland and potentially cause hypocortisolism.
