ENCL

Enclomiphene

Not a peptide. The trans (E) stereoisomer of clomifene, a triphenylethylene. Clomifene as normally supplied is a mixture of two stereoisomers with opposing activity at the estrogen receptor; enclomiphene is the antagonist isomer isolated from that mixture.

Enclomiphene has 19 registered human studies on ClinicalTrials.gov, reaching phase 3, covering 2,189 planned or enrolled participants across the 19 studies that published a figure. No FDA-approved product contains Enclomiphene. 19 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 Enclomiphene; the registry search is fuzzy, so every match is re-checked. None of this says whether Enclomiphene works or is safe.

258 loose registry matches were checked and 19 confirmed — 239 named something else and were discarded. We count a study only when Enclomiphene 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 Enclomiphene is, and what it has been studied for

Enclomiphene is classified by ChEMBL as a small molecule, and appears in trial registrations under ICI-46476 and RMI 16,289. Its FDA substance identifier is R6D2UI4FLS.

Across 19 registered trials, it has been studied in Secondary Hypogonadism, Infertility, Drug-drug Interaction and Effect of Treatment on Bone Mineral Density. 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 Repros Therapeutics Inc. and Baylor College of Medicine. 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.

Enclomiphene reached Phase 3 across 19 registered trials.

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

19 papers between 2017 and 2026. A paper counts when “Enclomiphene” 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.
