Gonadorelin

Synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone: the decapeptide pGlu-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-Gly-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-NH2, identical in sequence to the hormone released by the hypothalamus. It binds the GnRH receptor on the anterior pituitary. Unlike most entries here it is not an analogue of anything — it is the natural sequence.

Gonadorelin has 14 registered human studies on ClinicalTrials.gov, reaching phase 4, covering 581 planned or enrolled participants across the 14 studies that published a figure. An FDA-approved product contains GonadorelinLUTREPULSE KIT (NDA019687). 110 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 Gonadorelin; the registry search is fuzzy, so every match is re-checked. None of this says whether Gonadorelin works or is safe.

1,000 loose registry matches were checked and 14 confirmed — 986 named something else and were discarded. We count a study only when Gonadorelin 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 Gonadorelin is, and what it has been studied for

Gonadorelin is classified by ChEMBL as a protein. Its FDA substance identifier is 9O7312W37G.

Across 14 registered trials, it has been studied in Obesity, Infertility, Sleep Restriction and Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism. 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 University of Colorado, Denver and Nelly Pitteloud 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.

110 papers and 6 registered trials between 2017 and 2026. A paper counts when “Gonadorelin” 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.
