The FDA has approved PALSONIFY™ (paltusotine) as the first once-daily oral therapy for acromegaly.
Paltusotine is indicated for adults with acromegaly who had an inadequate response to surgery or for whom surgery is not an option.
This medication is the first oral, nonpeptide somatostatin receptor type 2 agonist for acromegaly patients.
The approval is based on data from two phase 3 trials, PATHFNDR-1 and PATHFNDR-2, demonstrating efficacy in managing IGF-1 levels.
Paltusotine received Orphan Drug Designation in July 2020, providing regulatory incentives for its development.
