Peptides · Growth-hormone axis (under FDA review)
AOD-9604
Growth-hormone fragment with research in fat metabolism.
What it does
What AOD-9604 is and why doctors prescribe it.
AOD-9604 is a 16-amino-acid fragment derived from the C-terminus of human growth hormone. It was designed to retain the lipolytic (fat-metabolism) effects of GH without the metabolic and growth-promoting effects of the full molecule. Under FDA review.
How it works
Mechanism in plain English.
Mechanistic work suggests AOD-9604 stimulates lipolysis and inhibits lipogenesis in adipose tissue without acting on the GH receptor or producing IGF-1 elevation. Effects appear to involve beta-3 adrenergic receptor pathways at the adipocyte.
How long it's been studied
Research history.
AOD-9604 was studied clinically in the early 2000s, including a Phase 2b trial in obesity that did not reach its primary endpoint. Cannot currently be compounded under 503A.
Dosing
Clinical context for the prescribing doctor.
Pending regulatory clarity.
This page is informational, not a dispensing aid. AOD-9604 is dispensed only on a patient-specific prescription written by a licensed doctor for an identified patient. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and should not be evaluated using branded-drug trial data. Availability varies by state and prescribed medication.
How to access AOD-9604 through RonanRx
Three paths.
AOD-9604 is currently in Category 2 and not available for 503A compounding. RonanRx is tracking the FDA review and will notify partner clinics when the decision allows compounding access.
