Peptide Therapy Candidacy

Meaning

Peptide Therapy Candidacy is the clinical determination of whether an individual is an appropriate recipient for treatment utilizing exogenous signaling peptides, such as those modulating growth hormone or metabolic pathways. This assessment requires a thorough evaluation of the patient’s baseline endocrine profile, including receptor density and endogenous peptide levels, to ensure therapeutic efficacy and safety. We must confirm that the targeted physiological axis is responsive to exogenous peptide administration before initiating treatment. Determining candidacy is a critical step in maximizing the potential benefits while minimizing unnecessary intervention.
