    The 24h-UFC concentration results from three samples during screening were averaged to obtain baseline. After baseline, mean 24h UFC was determined at week 24. At Week 4, 8, 16 and 20, mean 24h UFC was determined from two 24 hour urine collections collected on two consecutive days occurring before the visit. At Week 12, 24 and 48, the mean 24h-UFC from three 24 hour urine collections, collected over the week before the visit, was determined. After Week 24, the mean 24h UFC was determined at 12-week intervals until end of study visit, from two 24 hour collections during two consecutive days prior to each respective visit (except at Week 48). UFC was determined by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy (LC/MS/MS). The normal ranges were determined by the central laboratory's own reference range. All samples, including screening samples, were analyzed by a central laboratory.

    A 12-item Cushing's syndrome HRQoL questionnaire (CushingQoL, cf. Webb et al 2008) was implemented and patients who completed 9 or more items at a visit were considered evaluable for that visit. The standardized scores were calculated as follows: 1) Obtain raw scores, denoted by X, as the sum of all the ratings on all the HRQoL questions for a single patient and the score can range from 12 (worst HRQoL) to 60 points (best HRQoL). Therefore, the lower the score, greater the negative impact on HRQoL and 2) obtain standardized score, Y, for a single patient • Y = 100 (X-12) / (60-12) = 100 (X-12)/48. For example, if a patient answers all 12 items with 'Sometimes' or 'Somewhat', X = 36 and Y = 100 ∙ 24/48 = 50 The WPAI-GH questionnaire was used to assess work productivity and activity impairment. However, there was very limited baseline data and therefore the results and outcomes of the objective, 'change from baseline in WPAI-GH scores' are not included.

Full study description
brief Summary
This study provided access to pasireotide sc in patients with Cushing's disease.and provided additional information for safety and efficacy of pasireotide s.c.
detailed Description
Purpose of this study was to give access to pasireotide sc for patients with Cushing's disease as no medical treatment for Cushing's disease was approved at the time of the study initiation. The study population consisted of patients with persistent or recurrent Cushing's disease or patients with de novo Cushing's disease that were not considered candidates for pituitary surgery (poor surgery candidates, surgically unapproachable tumor, patients with no visible pituitary tumor, patients who refused surgery). A confirmed Cushing's disease diagnosis was required.
