The decision path

Three stages. The first two are complete.

This tracker separates the stages that headlines often collapse together.

FDA staff review
Against inclusion

Published in FDA’s meeting briefing packet.

PCAC recommendation
Recommend inclusion

MOTS-c (free base): Yes 7, No 5, Abstain 2. MOTS-c acetate: Yes 7, No 5, Abstain 2. Advisory and non-binding.

Final FDA determination
Pending

FDA says it will consider committee input and complete its review.

What staff says

FDA staff says the evaluation criteria weigh against placing MOTS-c free base or MOTS-c acetate on the 503A Bulks List.

FDA says neither form is a component of an FDA-approved drug. The briefing also flags inconsistent naming and uncertainty about substance identity.

Uses on the agenda
  • Obesity
  • Osteoporosis

The meeting agenda lists obesity and osteoporosis. FDA’s briefing says the nomination did not contain enough information for the agency to evaluate proposed uses and that FDA did not identify clinical studies evaluating them.

Keep the categories straight

What this committee recommendation does not change

It does not place a substance on the list. The advisory vote supplies non-binding advice for FDA’s later action.
It is not FDA’s final determination. FDA says the committee’s advice is non-binding and is one part of its review.
It is not drug approval. FDA’s briefing says neither form is a component of an FDA-approved drug.
It is not a product-quality finding. It does not verify the identity, purity, sterility, or safety of anything sold online.
14-vote package · independently verifiedJuly 23, 2026
