ARA-290 (cibinetide) activates the innate repair receptor to drive small nerve fiber regeneration without affecting red blood cell production. Phase 2b trials in sarcoidosis neuropathy showed a 23% increase in corneal nerve fiber area at the 4 mg dose. Research-only; no Phase 3 registered.

Summary: Add 2mL BAC water to your 5mg vial. Draw to 40.0 units on a U-100 syringe for a 1mg dose. This vial will last 5 doses.

Reconstitution math first. A 10 mg vial with 2 mL bacteriostatic water gives you 5 mg/mL. At the clinical dose of 4 mg, that's 0.8 mL, or 80 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. One vial lasts 2.5 days at 4 mg/day. You'll need 11 to 12 vials for a full 28-day course. A 5 mg vial with 2 mL BAC water gives 2.5 mg/mL. At 4 mg, that's 1.6 mL per injection, which is too much volume for a comfortable single SC shot. Stick with 10 mg vials if you're running the full clinical dose. Starting at the conservative 1 mg dose? That's 0.2 mL (20 units), and a single 10 mg vial covers 10 days. The 20-minute plasma half-life sounds short, but it's the wrong thing to focus on. ARA-290 clears fast from blood, but the downstream gene expression changes through JAK2/STAT5 persist for hours. Once-daily dosing is sufficient; don't split the dose. Store reconstituted vials at 2 to 8 degrees C. Use within 2 to 3 weeks. Budget before you start. Mid-cycle supply interruption is common and kills the protocol. A clinical-equivalent course at 4 mg/day costs $672 to $1,008 at current research-grade pricing.
