Improvement

[edit]

To do:

  • Find more info for Drugbox
  • Avoid repetition of name—lanreotide, lanreotide, lanreotide...
  • Find more refs and better refs
  • Add more on the use of radiolabeled lanreotide?
  • Add more on efficacy and comparison to octreotide.
  • Interesting refs:
    • Freda P, Katznelson L, van der Lely A, Reyes C, Zhao S, Rabinowitz D (2005). "Long-acting somatostatin analog therapy of acromegaly: a meta-analysis". J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 90 (8): 4465–73. PMID 15886238.{{cite journal}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)

Oral Lanreotide

[edit]

Do you think that one day there will be an oral form of Lanreotide or octreotide? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Interestedperson (talkcontribs)

Well, there has been some development of orally active somatostatin analogues,[1][2][3] although not recently AFAIK. Very high oral doses of octreotide do produce some effect, comparable to a low parenteral dose (there's a reference for that somewhere). Perhaps somatostatin analogues with appropriate structural modifications will reach the market someday... Fvasconcellos (t·c) 19:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

...peptide?

[edit]

question: what kind of peptide is lanreotide? is it an octapeptide like octreotide? Nomoremissniceguy (talk) 10:01, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

from the diagram it looks like 9 amino acids. - Rod57 (talk) 09:24, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Needs info on clinical trial results

[edit]

and the first half of the Indications section needs slight rewording to reflect the 2014 approval. - Rod57 (talk) 09:28, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
