If there’s no change to the current Federal Register notice, the July 23-24 advisory committee meeting will cover BPC-157, KPV, TB-500, MOTS-c, emideltide (DSIP), semax, and epitalon.
Other substances mentioned today by the HHS Secretary (e.g., GHK-Cu, Dihexa, ibutamoren, melanotan II, LL-37, thymosin beta-4 fragment) are currently not on that agenda and will presumably be taken up separately.
