CJC

CJC-1295

A synthetic analogue of the first 29 residues of growth-hormone-releasing hormone, carrying four substitutions — D-alanine at 2, glutamine at 8, alanine at 15 and leucine at 27 — each of which blocks a known site of enzymatic cleavage. It binds the GHRH receptor. A separate version carrying a maleimidopropionic acid group that binds albumin is a different substance, and the two are frequently sold under the same name.

CJC-1295 has 1 registered human study on ClinicalTrials.gov, reaching phase 2, covering 120 planned or enrolled participants across the 1 study that published a figure. No FDA-approved product contains CJC-1295. 18 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 CJC-1295; the registry search is fuzzy, so every match is re-checked. None of this says whether CJC-1295 works or is safe.

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. Collected 2026-08-02 from ClinicalTrials.gov and Drugs@FDA. Check the query.

What CJC-1295 is, and what it has been studied for

CJC-1295 is tracked here. Its FDA substance identifier is 62RC32V9N7.

Across 1 registered trial, it has been studied in Obesity and HIV Infections. 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 ConjuChem. 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.

CJC-1295 reached Phase 2 across 1 registered trial.

No FDA-approved product contains CJC-1295. A compound can stop at any rung for commercial reasons as easily as scientific ones, and the registry does not record which.

18 papers between 2017 and 2026. A paper counts when “CJC-1295” 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. Sources: PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov · collected 2026-08-02.
