What it does not prove

  • This is a protocol describing a planned trial, not a completed study with results—no efficacy or safety data are reported
  • The pilot phase sample size is very small (up to 18 total, with only 6 per dose group), limiting ability to detect effects or establish safe dosing
  • The decision to proceed to Phase 2 depends on unspecified criteria for 'favorable changes' in senescent markers, introducing bias into trial initiation

Recorded source passages

Abstract or registry material supplied for assessment; source version 1. This is not a claim of full-text review.

The investigators will do the study in two phases. The first phase will be a pilot study on up to 18 participants
up to 6 participants each will be given oral daily rapamycin (0.5, 1, and 2mg) dose for the duration of CR
In a prospective, randomized, clinical trial design, patients 60 years or older will be randomized at the time of CR to a standardized exercise protocol, or exercise protocol with the addition of low-dose rapamycin
