Human-limitedLong-acting GHRH analog for GH elevation

CJC-1295

Also indexed as CJC-1295 DAC, Drug Affinity Complex-1295, Modified GRF(1-29)

A long-acting GHRH analog that extends the half-life of endogenous growth hormone releasing hormone, producing sustained elevation of GH and IGF-1.

Overview

Binds to GHRH receptors on pituitary somatotrophs to stimulate GH synthesis and release.

Proposed mechanism

Binds to albumin in the bloodstream via a Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) technology, extending the active half-life from minutes to days while continuously stimulating pituitary GH release.

What the evidence supports

Human data exists but the trials are small, short-term, or not yet replicated.

Graded Human-limited

Human data that exists but is thin: open-label work, single-arm studies, small cohorts, or observational follow-up without randomisation.
