First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests whether a low dose of everolimus, a drug that targets a key aging pathway, can safely improve how the body ages in people aged 55-80 with insulin resistance or prediabetes. Participants take the drug daily or weekly for 24 weeks, and researchers measure changes in metabolism, heart function, and brain health. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce age-related decline, not cure aging itself.
