How it works, simply

It was designed from part of erythropoietin to explore tissue-protective signaling without its red-blood-cell-producing effect.

What the evidence tells us

A small randomized trial in people with sarcoidosis-associated small-fiber nerve loss reported changes in nerve-fiber measures. The population, endpoints and short follow-up limit what can be inferred about other neuropathies or long-term benefit.

Small studies in sarcoidosis-related nerve damage found signals worth further study; they do not establish broad nerve-repair benefits.
