New hope for patients with hard-to-treat pituitary tumors
NCT ID NCT06295952
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a drug called pasireotide for people with prolactinomas (pituitary tumors) who cannot take standard dopamine agonist therapy due to side effects, resistance, or medical reasons. About 10 adults will receive pasireotide to see if it safely lowers prolactin levels and shrinks tumors. The goal is to control the disease, not cure it.
