RAD140 (Testolone)
A selective androgen receptor modulator with preclinical promise but limited human data and reported serious adverse effects.
Evidence category: Preclinical. This describes the source category, not approval or certainty.
Regulatory statement in source: Not separately recorded; do not infer approval from the evidence category.
RAD140 (Testolone) is a selective androgen receptor modulator showing potent anabolic activity in preclinical studies. Limited human research exists: six micro-dose excretion studies on five volunteers each, and a Phase I trial on metastatic breast cancer efficacy. Three published cases reported drug-induced liver damage in male users; another reported acute myocarditis.
Benefits reported in the imported source
- Selective AR binding in preclinical models; minimal prostate activation
- Neuroprotection shown in cultured neurons
Risks and limits
- Not FDA-approved; minimal human clinical data
- Three published cases of serious drug-induced liver damage
- One case of acute myocarditis and congestive heart failure
- No long-term human safety studies
Source bottom line: Preclinical promise but very limited human data; serious hepatic and cardiac adverse events reported in case studies.
Uncertainty: Reference information only. Not medical advice.

Community and practice descriptions
Accounts of a practice are not evidence of safety or effectiveness. Words such as “standard”, “safe” or “recommended” describe the source account, not verified consensus or this wiki’s advice. Commercial and self-published citations are retained for traceability, not vendor endorsement or independent clinical corroboration.
No community description recorded. This entry has no final B-82 outcome record; it is not a researched-empty finding.
