How Octreotide Works.
Octreotide is a synthetic version of the hormone somatostatin. Somatostatin is a hormone that is naturally produced in the body and plays a role in regulating the production of other hormones. By mimicking the effects of somatostatin, octreotide is able to reduce the production of certain hormones that can cause symptoms in conditions like acromegaly, carcinoid syndrome, and Cushing's disease.
In acromegaly, for example, the body produces too much growth hormone, which can cause excessive growth of the hands, feet, and face, as well as other symptoms like joint pain and fatigue. By reducing the production of growth hormone, octreotide can help to alleviate these symptoms. In carcinoid syndrome, the body produces too much serotonin, a hormone that can cause diarrhea, flushing, and other symptoms. Octreotide can help to reduce the production of serotonin, which can lead to a reduction in symptoms.
Conditions Treated by Octreotide.
Octreotide is primarily used to treat rare conditions like acromegaly, carcinoid syndrome, and Cushing's disease. In addition to these conditions, the drug has also been used to treat certain types of cancer. For example, octreotide can be used to treat neuroendocrine tumors, which are a type of cancer that affects the cells that produce hormones. These tumors can produce excessive amounts of hormones, which can cause a range of symptoms. By reducing the production of these hormones, octreotide can help to alleviate symptoms and slow the progression of the cancer.
Benefits of Octreotide Treatment.
One of the biggest benefits of octreotide treatment is that it can significantly improve quality of life for those suffering from rare diseases. Many of these conditions can be debilitating, making it difficult for people to perform everyday tasks or enjoy their lives. By reducing symptoms like excessive growth, diarrhea, and fatigue, octreotide can help people with these conditions to feel better and regain some of their independence.
In addition to improving quality of life, octreotide treatment has also been shown to be effective in slowing the progression of certain types of cancer. For example, in one study, patients with neuroendocrine tumors who received octreotide had a longer time to disease progression than those who received a placebo. This suggests that octreotide may be an effective treatment for certain types of cancer.
Side Effects of Octreotide Treatment.
Like any medication, octreotide can cause side effects. Some of the most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own after a few days. In rare cases, more serious side effects can occur, such as allergic reactions or changes in heart rate.
Dosage and Administration of Octreotide.
Octreotide is typically administered by injection, either subcutaneously (under the skin) or intravenously (into a vein). The dosage and frequency of the injections will depend on the condition being treated and the patient's individual needs. For example, in the treatment of acromegaly, octreotide is usually given by injection every four weeks. In the treatment of carcinoid syndrome, octreotide may be given by injection two to three times per day.
Octreotide vs Other Treatment Options.
Before the discovery of octreotide, treatment for rare diseases like acromegaly, carcinoid syndrome, and Cushing's disease was limited. Surgery to remove tumors or glands that were producing excessive hormones was often the only option. While surgery can be effective, it is not always possible or advisable, especially in cases where the tumors are not easily accessible.

Pharmacology of Octreotide
Octreotide is a synthetic analog of somatostatin, a naturally occurring growth hormone inhibiting peptide. It is primarily used to treat certain hormonal disorders and symptoms associated with certain types of tumors2.

Mechanism of Action
Octreotide mimics the action of natural somatostatin but has a longer duration of effect. It binds to somatostatin receptors (SSTR2 and SSTR5) and inhibits the secretion of several hormones, including:

Growth hormone (GH)

Glucagon

Insulin

By binding to these receptors, octreotide helps regulate the hormonal imbalances in conditions like acromegaly and certain types of neuroendocrine tumors.

Pharmacokinetics
Absorption: Octreotide can be administered via subcutaneous (SC), intramuscular (IM), or intravenous (IV) routes. The bioavailability of octreotide is approximately 100% for SC administration and 60% for IM administration1.

Distribution: It is widely distributed throughout the body and binds to plasma proteins at a rate of 40-65%.

Metabolism: Octreotide is metabolized primarily by the liver.

Elimination: It has a half-life of approximately 1.7-1.9 hours and is excreted mainly through the urine.

Clinical Uses
Acromegaly: Used to reduce growth hormone levels.

Neuroendocrine Tumors: Helps manage symptoms such as diarrhea and flushing associated with carcinoid syndrome and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-secreting tumors (VIPomas).

Variceal Bleeding: Octreotide is used in the management of esophageal varices secondary to portal hypertension.

Adverse Effects
Some common side effects of octreotide include:

Gastrointestinal disturbances (such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain)

Altered blood glucose levels (both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia)

Gallbladder issues, including gallstones

Octreotide plays a crucial role in managing hormone-related conditions, but it requires careful monitoring due to its potential side effects.

Susan L Samson, MD, PhD, FRCPC, FACE, Chair of Endocrinology at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, discusses positive efficacy data from the open-label extension of the OPTIMAL study of oral octreotide, a drug that was approved for the treatment of acromegaly in 2020. Data from the open-label extension was presented at the ENDO 2022 Annual Conference.

Acromegaly is a rare endocrine disorder in which the body secretes too much growth hormone in adulthood, usually as a result of a pituitary tumor. Since the increased growth hormone occurs past puberty, the changes in bone structure can be very gradual. As a result, it can take several years for a person with acromegaly to be diagnosed.

As Dr. Samson explains, the OPTIMAL trial (NCT03252353) was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 clinical trial of octreotide capsules in 56 adult acromegaly patients whose disease was controlled by injectable somatostatin analogs (octreotide or lanreotide). Eligible patients were then randomized 1:1 to octreotide capsules or placebo. The primary endpoint of the trial was the proportion of patients who maintained their biochemical response (insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1 levels less than 1.0 × upper limit of normal [ULN]), at the end of the 9-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled period. The OPTIMAL study met the primary endpoint and all secondary endpoints which led to the US approval of oral octreotide, the first oral somatostatin analog, for the long-term maintenance treatment in acromegaly patients who have responded to and tolerated treatment with injectable octreotide or lanreotide.

After the 9-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled period, patients were eligible for enrollment in the open-label extension study to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of oral octreotide. One of the key findings presented at ENDO 2022 was that maintenance of biochemical response (defined as IGF-I levels below ULN) to oral octreotide was durable up to 96 weeks. 100% of subjects (n= 17) who were responders at week 48 and 93% of subjects overall (n=29) demonstrated a biochemical response at week 96. Median exposure to oral octreotide was 2.1 years, with exposure great than 3 years for 5 patients.

Monica Gadelha, DR, PhD, University of Rio De Janeiro studying Acromegaly discusses Paltusotine and its positive impact on patients suffering from Acromegaly.

Transcription:
GH is secreted, controlled by somatostatin. Somatostatin is a molecule that produces the hypothalamus that is above the pituitary. There are drugs that are called somatostatin receptor ligands. These drugs act like they were somatostatin, so they block GH secretion, and they can control the size of the tumor or even decrease the tumor. This is a class of drugs that we call first-generation somatostatin receptor ligands or agonists. The ones that we use now is octreotide LAR and lanreotide autogel both in Brazil. In the US, there is also oral octreotide.

But in the vast majority of the world there is octreotide LAR, lanreotide autogel that are what we call SST2 agonists. These drugs will block GH secretion and control the tumor. The problem with these drugs is that they are injectable, and they are painful. The patient has to go to the healthcare unit every month to get the shot because this is not a simple shot. It has to be done by a specialized healthcare profession. At the end of the period of the injection, some patients before the next one, complain about relapse of some symptoms as headache is very common.

There is a very nice French study that show that IGF-1 is not stable with the injections during the whole month. We have all these problems with injections. The problem with acromegaly is that these patients will have to take these medications probably for the rest of their lives, so to end, 30, 40 years. If the problem, if they needed these drugs for only six months, that's okay, that they had to go to the hospital for six months, but it's for the rest of their life. An oral drug that they can take at home is very expected by the patients.

Paltusotine is an oral medication that binds to this same receptor that is called SST2. An important difference from the other oral, that's oral octreotide that was launched in US, is that the oral octreotide must be taken twice a day. This is complicated because we know that the second few, many patients forget. The one in the morning when the patient has to take as soon as the patient wakes up, it's okay. But the second one, sometimes the patient is at dinner, out of the house, or at work. So, it's more complicated. The oral octreotide needs fasting. A second fasting is difficult. Paltusotine is once daily, oral, and very stable drug. In terms of I would say, posology is very convenient for the patient.

Regarding efficacy, we had good data in the Phase II, but now the first Phase III, that's PET Finder 1, was finished and the efficacy was demonstrated because in this trial we included the control of the patients on octreotide or lanreotide. I mean, the patients had normal IGF-1 on one of the injectable medications, and they were randomized to receive paltusotine or placebo, so 30 to paltusotine and 28 to placebo. They were treated with paltusotine for 36 weeks.

At the end of this core phase of the study, it was compared the percentage of patients that maintained control of IGF-1 in the paltusotine group and on the placebo group. The difference was huge as expected. It was 83% in the paltusotine and 4% in the placebo. The study met its primary endpoint. Additionally, there is an evaluation of the symptoms of the patient through acromegaly symptoms diary. Again, the paltusotine maintain the control of the symptoms of the patients. Biochemically effective, maintains the symptoms.

In terms of tumors, there was no tumor increase. The tumor was stable. Then regarding safety, we only saw side effects, very typical of acromegaly or with the class of the drug that is the first-generation somatostatin receptor ligands. I mean abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea that's associated with octreotide, lanreotide, paltusotine, all these drugs. Some are [inaudible 00:06:55] and [inaudible 00:06:56] that's associated more with acromegaly. I think that the drug has efficacy very close to the injectable one, and it's safe.

But for me, the most interesting thing is that during the study, I was telling other investigations and people that I was very impressed with the patients. Because the patients before having a neural option, I have been very honest, I didn't know how bad the injections were because we only had that. We scheduled the patient, so please come to the hospital this day to get our shot and we will see you for three months in the outpatient clinic. We didn't know how bad the injection was. It hurts, it's painful, the patient lost half a day of work to go to the hospital.

Lee S. Schwartzberg, MD; Eric Roeland, MD; Dawn Dolan, PharmD, BCOP; Beth Eaby-Sandy, CRNP, OCN; and Howard Levine, PharmD, review the addition of olanzapine to chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting treatment regimens.

Zyprexa or olanzapine, a second generation or atypical antipsychotic drug, treats schizophrenia, mania of bipolar disorder and when combined with fluoxetine assists in treatment resistant depression.

Zyprexa belongs to the same family as Abilify, Risperdal, Seroquel, Invega, Latuda, Vraylar, Saphris, Geodon and Rexulti. The American Psychiatric Association does not recommend any one drug over another. The APA suggests these medicines should be prescribed at the lowest possible dose since all of the drugs are associated with significant and sometimes persistent side effects.

Zyprexa has been used for an ever expanding list of off label indications not authorized by the FDA or confirmed by adequate studies. Among the long list of conditions where Zyprexa is used are PTSD, Tourette Syndrome, stuttering, hyperactivity, autism and even insomnia.

For schizophrenia, Zyprexa’s results should be obvious within the first week. Lack of response by 4-6 weeks suggests failure to comply with therapy, an incorrect diagnosis or the need to switch to a pill with a different binding profile in the brain.

An inexpensive generic alternative to Zyprexa is available with a free coupon from GoodRx.com.

Olanzapine is one of the drugs belongs to atypical antipsychotics. This medicine is available at 5 mg, 10 mg and 15 mg orally disintegrating tablets. It is used to treat psychosis and bipolar depression.

Welcome to MediInsights, where we unlock the wonders of wellness! In today's video, we delve into Olmesartan tablets, a crucial medication for managing high blood pressure. We'll cover everything you need to know, from its uses and proper dosage to its mechanism of action, potential side effects, and important advice for safe usage.

What are Olmesartan Tablets?
Olmesartan tablets are primarily prescribed to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). By effectively lowering blood pressure, Olmesartan helps reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events like strokes and heart attacks, as well as protecting kidney function.

Dosage of Olmesartan Tablets:
Olmesartan is available in various dosages, typically ranging from 5 mg to 40 mg. For most adults, the initial dose is usually 20 mg once daily. Depending on how you respond to the treatment, your healthcare provider may adjust your dose up to a maximum of 40 mg per day. Remember, always follow your doctor's instructions and never self-adjust the dosage.

Mechanism of Action:
Olmesartan belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). It works by preventing angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels, from binding to its receptors. This inhibition allows blood vessels to relax and widen, resulting in lower blood pressure and improved blood flow.

Side Effects of Olmesartan Tablets:
While Olmesartan is generally well-tolerated, some common side effects may include dizziness, headache, and fatigue. Gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea can also occur. Serious but rare side effects include kidney problems, severe allergic reactions, or high potassium levels (hyperkalemia).
