Randomized pilot trial of rapamycin for ovarian aging in women; results not reported

A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study was proposed to assess whether low-dose rapamycin could delay ovarian aging in women. Animal studies had suggested rapamycin might slow or reverse age-associated pathways. No results, sample size, or effect sizes were reported in the abstract.
