Preclinical Research

As of 2026, no completed randomised controlled trial has evaluated BPC-157 specifically in human rotator cuff tears. The evidence base consists of one direct rat rotator cuff model, multiple preclinical tendon-healing studies, and two recent narrative reviews. A Phase 2 RCT in a related musculoskeletal indication (hamstring strain, NCT07437547) is registered but unpublished.
