ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "MTOR Inhibitors in Older Adults," is exploring the use of certain medications called mTOR inhibitors, which may help slow down the aging process and prevent age-related diseases. The main goal is to gather important information about how these drugs work in older adults, as there is currently not enough data on their effects in this age group. This study aims to lay the groundwork for future research on mTOR inhibitors and their potential benefits for aging-related health issues.

To participate in this trial, individuals need to be 65 years or older and living independently in the community. They should also be able to understand and follow the study procedures. However, certain health conditions, such as severe kidney or liver problems, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or recent serious health events like heart issues, may exclude someone from participating. If eligible, participants can expect to engage in a study that will help improve our understanding of how to support healthy aging in older adults. It’s also important to note that this trial is not yet recruiting participants, so there will be more information available in the future.
