Overview

About CJC-1295

Mechanism of action

GHRH analogue with Drug Affinity Complex that covalently binds albumin, dramatically extending half-life. Causes sustained GH release ('GH bleed') vs. pulsatile pattern.

Safety profile

Water retention, lethargy, joint pain, insulin resistance, potential blunting of natural GH pulsatility with prolonged use. · Human PK data available; one unexplained death in trials (possibly unrelated); longer half-life

Safety & Interactions

Contraindications & Drug Interactions

Research use only — not medical advice. Consult a licensed physician before using any peptide. Sources are cited where available.

⚠ CriticalContraindication

Active malignancy — sustained GH/IGF-1 elevation.

! CautionCaution

One unexplained death reported in Phase 1 trials (possibly unrelated). Long half-life (~1 week) complicates dose adjustments.

! CautionCaution

Type 2 diabetes — extended GH exposure worsens insulin sensitivity more than No-DAC variant.

Studies & key findings

  • CJC-1295 is a tetrasubstituted GHRH(1-29) analogue bearing a maleimido-propionyl group at its C-terminus that covalently binds to endogenous serum albumin after injection — extending its half-life to approximately 6–8 days compared to the minutes-long half-life of native GHRH, enabling once-weekly dosing.
  • The landmark Phase 1/2 human study (JCEM 2006, Teichman et al.) demonstrated that a single subcutaneous injection of CJC-1295 at 30–60 µg/kg produced sustained, dose-dependent increases in GH (2–10 fold) and IGF-1 (1.5–3 fold) lasting up to 14 days, with excellent tolerability and no serious adverse events in healthy adults.
