US regulatory status & drug development

Registered clinical trials

Studies registered on ClinicalTrials.gov that list Phenibut as an intervention. Studies that only measure the molecule as a biomarker, or use it only as a comparator or background arm for another drug, are excluded. A registration describes a planned or completed protocol; it does not report a result. Active studies are listed first.

No registered study naming this compound was matched. This is a documented gap in registry coverage, not proof that no study exists.
