Can a weekly pill and weight lifting rebuild aging bones?
NCT ID NCT07191353
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a weekly dose of everolimus (a drug similar to rapamycin), resistance training three times a week, or both together can improve bone formation in women aged 60-75 with low bone mass. Researchers will measure bone markers, density, and muscle function over 24 weeks. The goal is to find a safe way to prevent osteoporosis without long-term medication.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Everolimus (a rapamycin analog) and resistance training
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a drug-exercise combination to strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk in older women.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with 148 participants. The drug may cause side effects, and results may not apply to all women. The combination might not work better than exercise alone.
