What is ARA-290?
ARA-290, also known as cibinetide, is a synthetic 11-amino-acid peptide modelled on part of the helix B region of erythropoietin (EPO). It was designed to act on the innate repair receptor without stimulating red blood cell production, which is EPO’s main effect. It has been developed by Araim Pharmaceuticals and studied in clinical trials of small fibre neuropathy, including in people with sarcoidosis.

Available sizes: 10mg and 16mg
ARA-290 is offered in two vial sizes: 10mg and 16mg. Both contain the same peptide. The figure is the total amount of peptide in the vial, supplied as a dry (lyophilised) powder; it is not a concentration, so a larger vial is not “stronger”, it simply holds more material.
