CJC-1295: published human trials

Randomized placebo-controlled trials

Population
Healthy adults aged 21 to 61
Duration
28 and 49 days
Endpoints
GH and IGF-I concentrations; pharmacokinetics
Limits
Hormone endpoints in healthy volunteers do not establish patient benefit, long-term safety or applicability to other CJC formulations.
Status history
2006: trial publication. FDA’s current safety-risk page discusses CJC-1295 and reports serious adverse events. A paper is not product approval.

BPC-157: human study registration

Trial registry record

Population
Healthy adults aged 18 to 35 in the registered oral PCO-02 study
Duration
Three weeks of planned participation; registry safety time frame six months and pharmacokinetic time frame 168 hours
Endpoints
Registered adverse events and pharmacokinetic measures
Limits
A registration describes a planned study. This record was last verified in October 2015, has unknown status and has no posted results. It does not establish effectiveness.
Status history
2015: study registration. July 23, 2026: FDA advisory meeting agenda included BPC-157-related substances for compounding discussion. Discussion or an advisory recommendation is not FDA drug approval.

ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02637284 · FDA source

CJC-1295: animal research

Animal experiment

Population
Mice with GHRH gene deletion
Duration
Five weeks
Endpoints
Growth in an experimental mouse model
Limits
Animal results cannot establish effectiveness or a regimen for people.
Status history
2006: animal study publication. Current FDA safety discussion is separate from that experiment.

Alba et al., 2006 (PMID 16822960) · FDA source

Wegovy injection: Study 2 in the product label

FDA-approved product label

Population
Label Study 2: 1,961 adults with obesity or overweight plus a weight-related condition; type 2 diabetes excluded
Duration
68 weeks in Study 2
Endpoints
Percentage body-weight change and proportions reaching the study’s weight-change endpoints
Limits
Approval and study findings belong to the exact labeled product and indication. They do not transfer to compounded products or other peptides.
Status history
March 2026: this label revision. Check the latest exact-product label before relying on instructions.

A human study record and an FDA advisory discussion answer different questions; neither is a treatment recommendation.

Reading evidence

Start with the population and the outcome

A laboratory marker, animal experiment, registered study and clinical outcome are different kinds of evidence. This collection deliberately keeps the study type and population beside each record. It does not claim to be a complete or systematic review.
FDA approval applies to an exact product and its labeled uses. An advisory discussion, compounding policy or laboratory certificate does not give another product that approval. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved.
A filter is not a recommendation
The filters narrow a bounded source list. They do not rank products, compare benefits, establish safety or tell you whether a substance is appropriate for human use.
Before you finish

Read each record by what it can answer

CheckWhat to capture
Human studyWho was studied, which product was used and which outcome was measured
Animal or laboratory workA biological question that may not translate to people
FDA materialThe exact product, regulatory question or safety concern addressed
