Pasireotide binds to somatostatin receptors sst2 and sst5, which can lead to significant hyperglycemia. The investigators would like to administer pasireotide as a treatment for refractory hypoglycemia in the setting of metastatic insulin-producing pancreatic neuro-endocrine tumor.

Inclusion Criteria:
Aged 18 years or older
Biopsy-proven (primary or metastatic lesion) metastatic neuroendocrine tumor of the gastrointestinal and pancreatic location with disease determined by CT scan or MRI
Patients with history of clinical syndrome symptoms (e.g. hypoglycemia)
Patients not controlled by treatment with currently available somatostatin analogues.
No evidence of significant liver disease:
Written informed consent obtained prior to treatment to be consistent with local regulatory requirements
Is suffering from a serious or life-threatening disease or condition
Does not have access to a comparable or satisfactory alternative treatment (i.e., comparable or satisfactory treatment is not available or does not exist)
Is not eligible for participation in any of the IMP's ongoing clinical trials or has recently completed a clinical trial that has been terminated and, after considering other options (e.g., trial extensions, amendments, etc.), the clinical team has determined that treatment is necessary and there are no other feasible alternatives for the patient
Meets any other relevant medical criteria for compassionate use of the investigational product
Is not being transferred from an ongoing clinical trial for which they are still eligible
There are meaningful human clinical data to support an assessment that the potential benefits to patient outweigh risks.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with a known hypersensitivity to somatostatin analogs or any component of the pasireotide LAR or s.c. formulations.
Patients with abnormal coagulation (PT or aPTT elevated by 30% above normal limits).
Patients on continuous anticoagulation therapy. Patients who were on anticoagulant therapy must complete a washout period of at least 10 days and have confirmed normal coagulation parameters before study inclusion.
Patients currently using warfarin / warfarin derivatives
Patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis.
Patients who are not biochemically euthyroid. Patients with known history of hypothyroidism are eligible if they are on adequate and stable replacement thyroid hormone therapy for at least 3 months.
QT-related exclusion criteria:.
Patients who have any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions :
Patients who have a history of another primary malignancy, with the exception of locally excised non-melanoma skin cancer and carcinoma in situ of uterine cervix. Patients who have had no evidence of disease from another primary cancer for 1 or more years are allowed to participate in the study.
Patients with history of liver disease, such as cirrhosis or chronic active hepatitis B or C
Presence of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg)
Presence of Hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV)
History of, or current alcohol misuse/abuse within the past 12 months.
Known gallbladder or bile duct disease, acute or chronic pancreatitis
Patients with hypomagnesaemia (< 0.7 mmol/L)
Patients with a history of non-compliance to medical regimens
If the patient is a sexually active male he is excluded unless he agrees to use a condom during intercourse while taking pasireotide and for 3 months after stopping pasireotide medication. They should not father a child in this period. A condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men in order to prevent delivery of the drug via seminal fluid
