First seen Apr 09, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tests whether a drug called nandrolone decanoate, combined with physical therapy and a special diet, can help older adults with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) regain strength and mobility. About 168 people aged 60 to 99 will receive either the drug or a placebo, plus the same exercise and diet program, for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if the drug boosts the benefits of exercise and diet alone.
