Reference table


The CJC-1295 references and citations on this page constitute the full source set for the dossier. Nineteen entries: the foundational Phase I human dose-escalation trial (Teichman 2006), the GHRH-receptor mechanism papers (Jetté 2005, Alba 2006, Frohman 1995, Zhou 2020, the 2025 GHRHR review), the ipamorelin and GH-secretagogue characterization (Raun 1998, Ishida 2020), the tesamorelin class comparator (Falutz 2007, Stanley 2014), the modified GRF (1-29) chemistry reference, the ConjuChem Phase II halt reporting, the FDA Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee briefing, the FDA 503A bulks-list action coverage, the WADA Prohibited List 2026, the long-term GH-treatment safety analysis (Johannsson 2022), and the historical sermorelin pharmacology reference (Frohman 1995). DOIs and PubMed identifiers are listed where available; URLs link to the canonical archive.

All citations are organized by section below in canonical order — peer-reviewed primary research, peer-reviewed reviews, regulatory documentation, and historical / class-context references. Citations marked with PMID or DOI are direct links to the public PubMed or publisher archive.
