How to read this shelf

Every quantitative claim across this CJC-1295 scroll — every half-life value, every dose figure, every adverse-event frequency, every mechanism statement — is keyed to a numbered citation in this index. The two load-bearing peer-reviewed papers are Teichman 2006 (the human Phase 1 PK/PD paper) and Jetté 2005 (the preclinical pharmacology paper that identified CJC-1295 from a set of maleimido bioconjugates). The analytical literature (Henninge 2010, Timms 2019, Memdouh 2021) underwrites the modern WADA detection capability. Regulatory sources (the 2024 PCAC briefing, the WADA Prohibited List) frame the compound's current legal and approval status.
