Primary current-line option

Standard plan
★ DEFAULT
Indication
IND-PITUITARY-ADENOMA-1L-ACROMEGALY-SURGERY-SSA
Regimen
Somatostatin analogue for acromegaly (lanreotide first-generation SSA; pasireotide for SSA-refractory disease)
Drugs + NSZU
  • Lanreotide (DRUG-LANREOTIDE) 120 mg SC deep subcutaneous injection · Every 4 weeks (q4w), titrated per IGF-1 response; may extend interval to q6-8w if IGF-1 stably normalized on long-term therapy · SC ⚠ Out-of-pocket
Reason
Primary current-line option selected by ALGO-PITUITARY-ADENOMA-1L at step 2.

Other current-line alternatives (3 tracks)

Same treatment line; review when biomarker, access, contraindication, or patient-context assumptions change.
Standard plan
Indication
IND-PITUITARY-ADENOMA-1L-PROLACTINOMA-CABERGOLINE
Regimen
Cabergoline for prolactinoma (dopamine agonist, first-line)
Drugs + NSZU
  • Cabergoline (DRUG-CABERGOLINE) 0.25 mg PO twice weekly starting dose (or 0.5 mg PO once weekly) · Twice weekly; titrate by 0.25-0.5 mg/week increments no more often than every 4 weeks per serum prolactin, to a typical maintenance dose of 0.5-2 mg/week (occasionally higher for resistant macroprolactinoma) · PO ⚠ Out-of-pocket
Reason
Current-line alternative presented for HCP consideration
Standard plan
Indication
IND-PITUITARY-ADENOMA-1L-CUSHING-SURGERY-MEDICAL
Regimen
Pasireotide for Cushing disease (pituitary-directed medical therapy)
Drugs + NSZU
  • Pasireotide (DRUG-PASIREOTIDE) 0.6 mg SC starting dose · Twice daily subcutaneous injection, titrated per 24-hour urinary free cortisol / late-night salivary cortisol response and tolerability (product-label range approximately 0.3-0.9 mg SC BID); pasireotide LAR 10 mg IM q4w is an alternative long-acting formulation for surgery-ineligible disease · SC ✗ Not registered in UA
Reason
Current-line alternative presented for HCP consideration

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Standard plan (IND-PITUITARY-ADENOMA-1L-ACROMEGALY-SURGERY-SSA)
  • Do not rely on GH level alone for diagnosis or monitoring — IGF-1 and OGTT GH-suppression are the primary biochemical criteria.
  • Do not default to medical therapy ahead of surgical evaluation for a surgically accessible somatotroph adenoma without multidisciplinary discussion.
Standard plan (IND-PITUITARY-ADENOMA-1L-PROLACTINOMA-CABERGOLINE)
  • Do not offer surgery as first-line therapy for prolactinoma — dopamine agonists (cabergoline) are first-line regardless of adenoma size.
  • Do not diagnose prolactinoma without excluding secondary causes of hyperprolactinemia (medication effect, hypothyroidism, renal failure, pregnancy).
Standard plan (IND-PITUITARY-ADENOMA-1L-CUSHING-SURGERY-MEDICAL)
  • Do not initiate pasireotide without baseline and ongoing glucose monitoring — hyperglycemia is an expected class effect.
  • Do not diagnose Cushing disease without confirming ACTH-dependence and a pituitary (not ectopic or adrenal) source of hypercortisolism.
Local therapy plan (IND-PITUITARY-ADENOMA-1L-NFPA-SURGERY-MASS-EFFECT)
  • Do not operate on asymptomatic, non-compressive nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma — observation with surveillance MRI is indicated.
  • Do not skip a complete pituitary hormone biochemical panel before classifying an adenoma as nonfunctioning.

Timeline

Treatment timeline — derived from regimen + monitoring schedule

Standard plan

Induction · Somatostatin analogue for acromegaly (lanreotide first-generation SSA; pasireotide for SSA-refractory disease)
28-day cycles × Continuous until IGF-1 normalization is achieved and maintained, or until switched to pegvisomant / pasireotide for inadequate response
