What it does not prove

  • The clinical efficacy of senolytics for cognitive outcomes—this was a Phase II feasibility study, not a pivotal trial powered for efficacy. The generalizability to broader populations with Alzheimer's disease or cognitive decline, as the study enrolled only tau PET-positive individuals with specific disease stages. Whether senolytic effects on cellular aging markers translate to clinical benefit in neurodegenerative disease.
