Acute hamstring strains are common in running- and field-based sports and often lead to prolonged time away from sport and a risk of recurrence. Preclinical research suggests that BPC 157 may influence pathways involved in tissue protection, angiogenesis, and repair. Human clinical evidence remains limited, so a controlled trial is needed to evaluate potential benefits and characterize safety in a musculoskeletal injury population. After screening and baseline assessments (including MRI confirmation of an acute grade II hamstring strain), eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive subcutaneous BPC 157 or matching placebo once daily for 14 days. All participants will follow the same evidence-based rehabilitation protocol supervised by study physiotherapists. Clinical assessments will occur at Days 3, 7, 14, 28, and 56, with additional follow-up at 3 months after return-to-play for recurrence monitoring. Safety will be assessed through adverse event monitoring, vital signs, and standard laboratory tests. An independent Data and Safety Monitoring Committee will review unblinded safety data at predefined intervals.
