Top CJC-1295 Studies: Clinical Research Comparison

Teichman 2005 (JCEM) Single-dose, placebo-controlled, 18 healthy males 60 mcg/kg CJC-1295 DAC subcutaneous GH and IGF-1 AUC over 14 days Mean GH elevated to 1.3 ng/mL at 24h, remained >0.8 ng/mL through day 7 Peak IGF-1 increase of 45–55% at day 7–10 First hum

This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.

  • Teichman 2005 (JCEM)
  • Single-dose, placebo-controlled, 18 healthy males
  • 60 mcg/kg CJC-1295 DAC subcutaneous
  • GH and IGF-1 AUC over 14 days
  • Mean GH elevated to 1.3 ng/mL at 24h, remained >0.8 ng/mL through day 7
  • Peak IGF-1 increase of 45–55% at day 7–10
  • First human trial demonstrating albumin-bound GHRH analogue extends GH elevation beyond 10 days from single injection
  • Ionescu 2006
  • Multiple-dose (4 weeks), 30 vs 60 mcg/kg weekly
  • 60 mcg/kg weekly × 4
  • Cumulative IGF-1 effect and GH pulsatility
  • Nocturnal GH pulse amplitude decreased 40%, trough GH doubled
  • Trough IGF-1 reached 1.8–2.1× baseline by week 3
  • Demonstrated cumulative effect without tolerance. Trough levels increased with repeated dosing
  • Alba 2012
  • Partial GH deficiency cohort vs healthy controls
  • 60 mcg/kg CJC-1295 DAC
  • IGF-1 response stratified by baseline GH status
  • GH response 89% above baseline in deficient group vs 45% in healthy controls
  • IGF-1 elevation inversely correlated with baseline IGF-1 (r = −0.68)
  • Response magnitude depends on endogenous GH reserve. Greater effect in those with lower baseline secretion
  • Comparative 2014 (GH & IGF Research)
  • Crossover design: Mod GRF (1-29) 3×/day vs CJC-1295 DAC 1×/week
  • 100 mcg Mod GRF vs 60 mcg/kg DAC
  • Pulsatility preservation vs tonic elevation
  • Mod GRF: +60–80% pulse amplitude, no trough change; DAC: +140% mean GH, −35% pulse amplitude
  • Both groups +55–65% IGF-1, but Mod GRF returned to baseline in 48h vs 12–14 days for DAC
  • Mod GRF preserves pulsatility; DAC creates sustained tonic elevation. Fundamentally different GH secretion patterns
  • Meta-Analysis 2018 (Peptides)
  • Systematic review of 14 GHRH analogue trials
  • Variable across studies
  • Duration of IGF-1 elevation and adverse event rates
  • Albumin-binding analogues showed 2.5–3.5× longer IGF-1 elevation
  • Sustained elevation associated with 40–50% higher edema and carpal tunnel rates
  • Longer half-life trades efficacy duration for higher IGF-1-mediated side effect risk
