Betalutin vs Tetulomab

edit

I am not an experienced Wikipedia user, but created the initial versions of both Tetulomab and Betalutin. These articles have been combined into one which I think is not correct. Betalutin is the monoclonal antibody Tetulomab linked to radioactive Lutetium-177. The radioactive Lutetium-177 emits the beta radiation that kills cancer cells. The major group interested will be cancer patients searching for clinical trial information. (The first patient treated with Betalutin is still alive.) Patients will search using both Google and Wikipedia for Betalutin, not Tetulomab.

I suggest an undo of the merging of Tetulomab and Betalutin?

@RajeRaje: People searching for Betalutin is not the problem, they will be redirected here. However, I have noticed that quite a lot of information has been deleted after the merger (i.e. the combination of the two articles). I'll have a look at it over the next weeks as time allows.

Yes there was a lot of content that we don't put in articles about drug candidates that I weeded out. And unsourced stuff, etc. In my view if the conjugated mAB gets approved we can make a new article then, as this will remain a reagent. Jytdog (talk) 20:27, 1 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
Agreed. @RajeRaje: we don't normally name discoverers and developers unless they are really famous. Certain phrasings ("with minimal damage to nearby normal healthy tissue") could be seen as promotional – if it caused more than minimal damage, it wouldn't be in clinical trials. If you think any more information should go into the article, please find a reliable source and feel free to ask me for help. Regards, ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 07:46, 10 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
