What it does not prove

  • The abstract does not report actual results, outcomes, or whether the intervention was safe or effective—only the study design and planned protocol
  • No effect sizes or sample sizes are provided, making it impossible to assess statistical power or the magnitude of any effects
  • Comparison to the younger non-treated group does not constitute a control arm for the primary intervention question

Abstract or registry material supplied for assessment; source version 2. This is not a claim of full-text review.

The objective of this project is to determine if mTORC1 inhibition by 24 weeks of daily (0.5 mg/day) or weekly (5 mg/week) everolimus can safely improve physiological and molecular hallmarks of aging in humans.
Participants who are 55-80 years old and insulin resistant or prediabetic will be randomized to treatment and can expect to be on study for up to approximately 38 weeks.
Participants aged 18-35 will not receive the intervention and can expect to be on study for up to approximately 8 weeks.
