About:
An 11-amino-acid peptide derived from erythropoietin's helix B, studied in trials for neuropathic pain in sarcoidosis.
What does this peptide do?
Backed by human trial data, narrower than the strongest evidence. Research focuses on neuropathic pain.

Neuropathic pain
Randomised trials in sarcoidosis patients with small-fibre neuropathy.
Evidence grade
BHighest evidence grade among the graded claims: B. Grades reflect study strength, not benefit.
What are the benefits and side effects of this peptide
What research says it may help with
- ARA-290 has genuine randomized human trials, all in sarcoidosis patients with small fibre neuropathy, where it improved symptom scores and corneal nerve measures.
Who should avoid it
- People who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Children and adolescents
- People with a history of blood clots, given the erythropoietin lineage of the molecule
- Known hypersensitivity to peptide preparations
See the safety section. Absence of a flag is not evidence of safety.
A grade reflects evidence strength, not a recommendation to use this compound; a strong grade can attach to a harmful effect.

How to store this peptide
