What this means
- 01
No product containing Landogrozumab is approved by FDA for any use in the United States. So nothing on sale is allowed for use in people.
- 02
"Research use only" is a label sellers put on. It is not a legal category that allows use in people, and it does not get a product out of medicines law.
- 03
Importing it, supplying it or promoting it for use in people can fall under medicines law in the United States. This page is general information, not legal advice.
What Landogrozumab is
The clearest test in the whole field. In 201 older adults who had fallen, it added 0.43 kg of lean mass, a very clear result. It moved only two of about seven tests of how well people could move.
Read this study if you want to know what blocking myostatin really delivers. It was run in exactly the people the idea is meant to help: older adults who were weak and had fallen.
How it works: Landogrozumab is an antibody that grabs and blocks myostatin, the body's brake on muscle growth. With the brake off, muscle builds more protein.
Approval history: Never approved. Eli Lilly did not take it past mid-stage studies.
How FDA treats this kind of product
Approves prescription drugs, each for a named use. It also acts against unapproved products, including peptides sold online. Compounding pharmacies, which mix drugs to order, may make some compounds with a prescription. That only applies when the FDA puts the compound in a category of bulk ingredients it allows.
The legal category above is how The Longevity Archive reads U.S. Food and Drug Administration listings for Landogrozumab on the reviewed date. It is not a legal opinion. Rules change. Bringing a compound into the country, prescribing it and owning it can each be treated differently. Check with the agency before you act on anything here.
Landogrozumab in sport and the military
Whether Landogrozumab is banned in sport is set by the World Anti-Doping Code and by military rules, not by its legal status in the United States. Before you compete or get tested, look up Landogrozumab by name on the Prohibited List, or look up a named product in Global DRO. Under the World Anti-Doping Code, category S0 bans, at all times, any drug-like substance that meets two tests. No other section of the List covers it. And no government health regulator anywhere has a current approval for it as a treatment in people. Many substances that are approved somewhere are banned by name in another section. So approval does not mean a substance is allowed in sport.
