The Verdict

It failed its Phase 3 obesity trial. The company dissolved. The bro science did not.

The Evidence

AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone that showed fat-burning effects in obese mice. Metabolic Pharmaceuticals ran it through Phase 2 and Phase 3 human trials for obesity — and it didn't beat placebo. The program was discontinued. The compound is currently marketed as a "lipolytic peptide" on gray-market research chemical sites, citing the same rodent data that preceded the failed human trials. Injecting something that couldn't pass Phase 3 is a remarkable act of faith.
