CEREB

Cerebrolysin

Not a single molecule. A mixture of low-molecular-weight peptides and free amino acids produced by enzymatic breakdown of purified porcine brain protein, which is why no formula, no molecular weight and no single chemical record appears for it anywhere on this page. Its composition is defined by its manufacturing process rather than by a structure.

Cerebrolysin has 39 registered human studies on ClinicalTrials.gov, reaching phase 4, covering 4,405 planned or enrolled participants across the 36 studies that published a figure. No FDA-approved product contains Cerebrolysin. 299 papers naming it were published in the last ten years.

Collected 2026-08-02 from ClinicalTrials.gov and Drugs@FDA. Counts include only trials whose registered intervention names Cerebrolysin; the registry search is fuzzy, so every match is re-checked. None of this says whether Cerebrolysin works or is safe.

42 loose registry matches were checked and 39 confirmed — 3 named something else and were discarded. We count a study only when Cerebrolysin is named as an intervention in it.

Registered means registered — not that the study finished, and not that it found anything. The grade is mechanical: it is computed from the registry and the FDA record alone, and it grades how much is known, never whether a compound is good or safe.

What Cerebrolysin is, and what it has been studied for

Cerebrolysin is tracked here. Its FDA substance identifier is 37KZM6S21G.

Across 39 registered trials, it has been studied in Stroke, Acute Ischemic Stroke, Ischemic Stroke and Hemorrhagic Stroke. A condition here is what a sponsor registered the trial under — it records what was investigated, not what was shown.

The trials were run by Ever Neuro Pharma GmbH and Ain Shams University among others. A named commercial sponsor means a compound is in formal development; its absence does not mean the opposite, only that no company has registered a trial under its own name.

Cerebrolysin reached Phase 4 across 39 registered trials.

No FDA-approved product contains Cerebrolysin. A compound can stop at any rung for commercial reasons as easily as scientific ones, and the registry does not record which.

299 papers and 21 registered trials between 2017 and 2026. A paper counts when “Cerebrolysin” appears in its title or abstract — phrase-matched, so a paper mentioning the words separately is not counted. The total is a single query over the whole window, which is why it does not equal the bars added together: PubMed files a paper under both its electronic and its print publication date, so one paper can appear in two years. Publication volume measures scientific attention, not whether a compound works: a well-studied compound can be well-studied and ineffective.
