By stimulating SSTR5 and SSTR2, pasireotide activates downstream inhibitory signaling pathways, thereby suppressing hormone secretion, proliferation, and survival of pituitary gland cells ( SSTR2 and SSTR5 receptors targeted by pasireotide are expressed by insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas, while glucagon-secretin alpha cells express predominantly SSTR2 ( Real-world evidence and clinical trial extension studies have demonstrated that glucose metabolism alterations tend to occur primarily within the first weeks of therapy with pasireotide and stabilize over time ( Cabergoline Cabergoline is a dopamine D2 receptor agonist that has been commonly used in the treatment of prolactinomas ( In a prospective open-label study, testing cabergoline at a dose of 1 mg/week, adjusted up to a maximal dose of 7 mg/week, showed a significant reduction of fasting serum glucose and insulin levels in CD patients responding to therapy ( Ketoconazole and levoketoconazole Ketoconazole is an azole antifungal drug that reduces adrenal steroid production by inhibiting various enzymes involved in steroidogenesis
