AOD-9604
Also known as Anti-Obesity Drug 9604, hGH fragment 176-191 analogue
AOD-9604 is a 16-amino-acid peptide based on the tail end of human growth hormone, residues 176 to 191, with an added tyrosine. It was developed in Australia as an obesity drug. Its larger human trials did not show meaningful weight loss compared with placebo, and development for obesity stopped in 2007.

Did AOD-9604 work for weight loss in trials?
No. The phase 2b trial reported no significant difference in weight loss against placebo after 24 weeks. It was found to be well tolerated, but it did not do what it was designed to do.
