Finding all clinical trials for peptides in one place can be a challenge since they are studied under many different names, conditions, and institutions — but here are the top resources to efficiently search for clinical trials involving peptides, along with tips on how to use them:


🧪 1. ClinicalTrials.gov

  • Best overall source for registered trials (U.S. and international).

  • Run by the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

How to use:

  • Go to https://clinicaltrials.gov

  • Search by peptide name (e.g., “BPC-157”, “GHK-Cu”, “Semax”, “Tesamorelin”).

  • Use filters like:

    • Recruitment Status (e.g., “Completed” or “Recruiting”)

    • Study Type → Interventional

    • Phase → Phase 1, 2, 3


🌐 2. PubMed

  • Database of published medical and clinical research papers.

  • Not just trials, but results and systematic reviews.

How to use:

  • Search “peptide name + clinical trial”

  • Example: “BPC-157 clinical trial” or "GHK-Cu skin regeneration trial"


🌍 3. WHO ICTRP (International Clinical Trials Registry Platform)

  • Consolidates trial data from global registries, including EU, Asia, and others.

How to use:


🇪🇺 4. EU Clinical Trials Register


🇨🇦 5. Health Canada’s Clinical Trials Database


⚗️ 6. Google Scholar

  • Use to find peer-reviewed papers or trial results not always listed in clinical trial databases.

    🔗 https://scholar.google.com/

  • Use advanced search or put the peptide name in quotes for best results (e.g., "BPC-157" clinical trial).

  • You can filter by year to find the most recent research.

    Tips For Searching

  • Use scientific names (e.g., “Thymosin Beta-4” vs “TB-500”).
  • Check brand names vs generic (e.g., “Ozempic” vs “Semaglutide”).

  • Search by mechanism if unsure of the name (e.g., “GLP-1 agonist”).

  • Combine with terms like “clinical trial,” “phase 2,” “double blind,” etc.
