This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.

  • Injection site reaction
  • 10–15%
  • 2–5%
  • Transient erythema or mild induration at subcutaneous injection site, typically resolving within 24–48 hours
  • Expected with any SC peptide. Not compound-specific
  • Headache
  • 6–8%
  • 7–9%
  • No dose-relationship observed; incidence overlaps placebo range entirely
  • Statistically indistinguishable from baseline
  • Gastrointestinal symptoms
  • 5–9%
  • 6–10%
  • Nausea, mild diarrhea, or bloating reported in fewer than 1 in 10 subjects across trials
  • No evidence of GI toxicity or chronic effect
  • Fatigue
  • 4–6%
  • 3–5%
  • Single trial (diabetes neuropathy) reported slightly elevated fatigue rates at 8mg dosing
  • Minimal clinical significance. Overlaps placebo
  • Liver enzyme elevation
  • <2%
  • <1%
  • Transient ALT elevation (1.5–2× ULN) in 1 subject, normalized without intervention
  • Isolated finding. No hepatotoxicity pattern
  • Serious adverse events
  • 0%
  • No SAEs attributable to ARA-290 across all controlled trials totaling 150+ subjects
  • Clean safety signal through 28 weeks
