01

Scientific overview

AOD-9604 is a modified peptide derived from the C-terminal region of human growth hormone. It has been investigated in metabolic and adipose-tissue research, including earlier clinical development programs.

02

Mechanism under investigation

Designed to study metabolic signaling associated with a fragment of growth hormone without reproducing the full receptor profile of intact growth hormone. Proposed lipolytic pathways remain an area of investigation.

03

Research evidence summary

Limited human evidence with substantial uncertainty; additional preclinical literature exists.

Level III, Limited human evidence

04

Key research limitations

Earlier clinical development did not establish an approved therapeutic use. Findings are inconsistent across study types, and many commercial claims exceed the published evidence.

05

Safety & toxicology context

FDA has identified safety-information gaps and potential concerns for compounded use. Comprehensive modern human safety data are limited.

06

Regulatory & development status

No FDA-approved drug product; identified by FDA among substances requiring additional safety evaluation for compounding.

Supplied strictly for in-vitro and ex-vivo laboratory research. Not for human or veterinary administration, diagnostic, or therapeutic use. Import and regulatory compliance remain the responsibility of the receiving researcher.
