CITATION INDEX
CJC-1295 References
The indexed primary literature, the regulatory file, and the anti-doping list — every citation referenced across the platform overview.
Every numbered citation marker across the CJC-1295 specification on this site resolves to one of the entries below. The list combines the published phase-1 pharmacokinetic trials of CJC-1295 with DAC [1][2][16], the GHRH-knockout preclinical work [3], the proteomic follow-on [4], the analytical-chemistry characterization of a seized doping-market preparation [5], the GHRH-biochemistry and GHRP-pharmacology papers that frame the mechanism [6][7][8][9][10], the comparator-class tesamorelin pivotal trial [11], the WADA Prohibited List [12], the FDA 503A Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee briefing document [13], and the public-record account of the phase-2 cardiovascular event [14].
Primary phase-1 human pharmacokinetic trials
References [1] (Teichman 2006 single-ascending-dose), [2] (Ionescu 2006 pulsatility companion), and [16] (Teichman 2006 multi-dose arm) constitute the published phase-1 human evidence base for CJC-1295 with DAC.
Preclinical and biochemistry
References [3] (Alba 2006 GHRH-knockout mouse), [4] (Sackmann-Sala 2009 serum proteomics), [5] (Henninge 2010 analytical-chemistry identification), and [6] (Frohman 1989 DPP-IV inactivation of GHRH 1-29) establish the structural, proteomic, and protease-resistance basis of the GHRH-analog class.
Class comparators and GHRP pairing
References [7] (Raun 1998 ipamorelin selectivity), [8] (Bowers 1990 GHRH + GHRP-6 synergy), [10] (Frohman 1984 sermorelin pharmacokinetics), [11] (Falutz 2010 tesamorelin pivotal), and [15] (Gobburu 1999 ipamorelin healthy-volunteer dose-finding) frame CJC-1295 within the broader GHRH and GHRP pharmacology literature.
Sleep architecture
Reference [9] (Steiger 1992 intranasal GHRH) is the upstream mechanism paper that informs interpretation of GHRH-axis effects on slow-wave sleep.
Regulatory and anti-doping record
References [12] (WADA 2025 Prohibited List), [13] (FDA 2023 Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee briefing), and [14] (aidsmap 2006 public-record account of the ConjuChem CL-2002 cardiovascular event) form the regulatory and safety-signal record.
