Depreotide is an ingredient in the diagnostic aid (radioactive imaging agent). Technetium Tc 99m labeled depreotide is a scintigraphic imaging agent that identifies somatostatin receptor-bearing pulmonary masses in patients presenting with pulmonary lesions on computed tomography and/or chest x-ray who have known malignancy or who are highly suspect for malignancy. Adverse events were evaluated in clinical studies of 647 adults. Deaths did not occur during the clinical study period. After Technetium Tc 99m Depreotide Injection, serious adverse events were not reported. Headache was the most commonly reported adverse event. EMA withdrew depreotide containing agent NeoSpect.

Lutrelin is an agonist of gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor exerting antineoplastic properties.

Codactide is a synthetic octadecapeptide, an analog of adrenocorticotropin. When administered intravenously, codactide produced a prolonged adrenal stimulatory action, as measured by high 11-hydroxycorticosteroid level.

Geclosporin (Cyclosporine) is an immunosuppressive agent, that is used to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ by the body. Geclosporin is isolated from a fungus, Beauveria nivea, and was first discovered in 1970. By suppressing the immune system, this drug prevents white blood cells from rejecting the transplanted organ. Geclosporin primarily does this by suppressing T cells and T cell cytokine production, but also acts in other ways, for example by inhibiting growth and activation of B cells and antigen presenting cells, and by reducing antibody production. Geclosporin is usually combined with other compounds, and has been studied as potential treatment for a large range of disorders. It is used for the treatment of several other conditions, such as severe recalcitrant plaque psoriasis, severe active rheumatoid artritis, and to prevent rejection of donor cells as a result of bone marrow transplantation. Relapse after discontinuation of this compound is to be expected, and therefore, patients should receive maintenance therapy at the lowest effective dosage. The most common adverse events are hypertrichosis, gingival hyperplasia, and neurological and gastrointestinal effects. Renal dysfunction is also possible, but irreversible damage is rare.
