Vapreotide — living evidence map
The Atlas page holds the claims; this is how its evidence evolved.
Summary
Vapreotide (RC-160) is a stable somatostatin analogue with moderate-to-high affinity for somatostatin receptor subtypes 2, 3 and 5. · pmid:7878022
History
In 227 patients with cirrhosis hospitalized for upper gastrointestinal bleeding, starting vapreotide before endoscopic treatment left fewer with active bleeding at endoscopy (31% against 46% on placebo). · pmid:11136956
Identity
No public registry record is shown for this page: PubChem gave no record that proves it is this substance.
Where the evidence actually sits
Proportion of the 2 claims about Vapreotide standing at each tier. Community volume is shown on the Consensus tab beside this and is never averaged into it.
Living evidence history
2 resolved citations, oldest to newest, coloured by tier. Retractions and contradictions land here as they are recorded.
Structure
No structure representation on record. PepJunkie draws only what an authoritative record supplies; for a peptide that is the residue sequence, and none has been curated for Vapreotide yet.
Dose evidence, rung by rung
A studied human dose exists on file. Open the rung: the dose is the paper's, in its context, never PepJunkie's.
- Approved-label dose · a resolved regulatory document names a labelled dose
nothing resolved on this rung
- Studied human doses · resolved human studies at the established tier
- Early administration of vapreotide for variceal bleeding in patients with cirrhosis. · pmid 11136956 · 2001
- Observational evidence · resolved human data at the emerging tier: thin, or contested
nothing resolved on this rung
- Community-reported protocols · protocol propositions from distinct members, counted once per human
nothing resolved on this rung
- Preclinical evidence · resolved animal, cell or mechanistic work
- Inhibition of cell proliferation by the somatostatin analogue RC-160 is mediated by somatostatin receptor subtypes SSTR2 and SSTR5 through different mechanisms. · pmid 7878022 · 1995
2 resolved citations, 0 unresolved (an unresolved citation lends nothing). Community volume is its own rung and is never averaged into the evidence rungs.
