Mortensen Medical Research Network · PPRN-001-2025
The national observational registry for peptide and regenerative therapy, under independent IRB oversight. Licensed clinicians join free, sign here in four minutes, and submit de-identified outcomes. Every record builds the evidence that keeps this medicine in the open.

Why this exists
The therapies are already in clinics. Clinicians across the country use peptides and regenerative treatments every day. Almost none of what they see is recorded in a form anyone can study.
Silence is the risk. Without real-world data on dose, source, outcome and safety, every decision about these therapies gets made without the people who use them.
The registry is the record. Validated instruments, lot-level traceability and adverse-event reporting, sealed in a ledger nobody can quietly edit. Evidence that holds up.
Three steps, all here
Everything happens on this site. No account with any company, no purchase, no fee.
Version 2.0. What the registry is, what your site agrees to, how participants are protected. Five minutes.
Read the consentPrincipal investigator, license, NPI and clinic. Type your name to sign. We verify licensure and issue your site code and access key within two business days.
Join the registryDe-identified, keyed to your site code and a registry subject number. Every record is sealed into your site's tamper-evident ledger.

Data
What we need
More patients in the dataset means more statistical power. Statistical power is what turns "my patients do well on this" into evidence that regulators, payers and courts have to reckon with. That is how proactive care gets legalized: efficacy and safety, counted.
Molecule, dose, unit, route. One line per molecule; a stack is three lines. Molecule, not brand.
Baseline, 4–8 weeks, 16 weeks, 6 months, 12 months. Study day since baseline, never a calendar date.
Pain at rest and with activity, 0–10. At follow-ups, global change 1–7.
Any adverse event since the last visit, No or Yes. If Yes: serious, severity, relatedness, outcome.
Plus a registry ID, age band and sex. Everything else is optional. Open the form or send a batch CSV.
FAQ
Four things per visit. Everything else is optional.
1. The protocol. What was given.
2. The visit. When.
3. The outcome. Did it work.
4. Safety. Did anything go wrong.
Plus a registry ID (PPRN001-<site>-0001), age band (50-59) and sex. That is the whole form.
Send it; every extra field sharpens the signal. None of it is required.
Names, dates of birth, calendar dates, phone, email, address, MRN or chart numbers, photos. The form blocks them. The key linking a registry ID to a patient stays at the clinic. We never see it and never want it.
A visit date plus a ZIP code plus an age re-identifies people. Study day (0, 42, 112, 180, 365) and year carry all the science with none of the exposure.
The participant informed consent at joinirb.com/forms/, in your office, kept in your chart. One signature covers every visit. Patients can withdraw any time; you send one "withdrew" record.
Once: the investigator agreement (PDF) or the online application at joinirb.com/apply/, which signs the site consent electronically. Two minutes. License and NPI are verified.
No. One protocol, one IRB (IRCM), one registry. Your clinic is listed as a site under it. This is how Regenative Labs runs 30+ clinics under the same IRB.
Not for de-identified data, which is the only kind we take. Networks that submit on behalf of many clinics sign a data coordinating agreement with the registry.
Visit data within 14 days. Serious adverse events within 7 calendar days. Other adverse events within 5 business days.
Yes. Submit a correction record that references the original record number. Originals are never edited or deleted; the ledger is append-only and hash-chained. That is what makes it evidence.
The registry, sponsored by Mortensen Medical, a 501(c)(3). Participating sites can request aggregate reports and are named as contributors on publications drawn from their data.
Your outcomes, measured against everyone else's. Published evidence with your name on it. A regulatory posture: you treat under an active IRB protocol with prospective safety reporting, which is the strongest position a peptide clinic can hold today.
"We participate in the PPRN-001-2025 registry under an active IRB protocol." Never "IRB approved" about any product, and never use the registry to sell anything.
Nothing. No fee, no purchase, no account with any company.

Forms and documents
The participant consent and the investigator agreement are the only two pieces of paper a clinic ever touches. Networks use the roster, the batch template and the onboarding guide.
Support the registry
Joining costs a clinic nothing, and it never will. Running the registry does: secure infrastructure, independent IRB oversight, safety review, analysis and publication. Mortensen Medical is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and pays for all of it with gifts and book sales.
The book
M. Scott Mortensen's field manual for proactive health: what to eat, what to take, what to measure, and how to stay alive long enough for the science to catch up. Every copy helps fund the research.

Separate from the registry. Nothing here is part of participation, participation never requires a purchase, and a site's choices here are never used in registry decisions. Clinical supply, white label, SHERPA and Killer Health are separate, for-profit companies.
The people
Oversight of participant protection belongs to the IRCM Institutional Review Board, which is independent of the sponsor. No IRB member is on this team.
