Brief Summary:
Over the past decades, healthcare systems face significant challenges to meet the needs of an aging population due to progressive debility, functional decline and chronic diseases development. While there is a growing appreciation of the potential impact of mTOR inhibitors on slowing aging processes, preventing chronic disease and prolonging healthy lifespan, a major challenge in developing clinical trials to establish the clinical efficacy of mTOR inhibitors is the absence of pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) data in older adults. The proposed study will provide the foundation for future clinical trials assessing the role of mTOR inhibitors on aging related indications
Detailed Description:
Study Objectives To characterize Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of mTOR Inhibitors and determine whether mTOR Inhibitors will improve phenotypic biomarkers of aging as measured by SASP (senescence-associated secretory phenotype) index score at 3 months follow-up in older adults.
Specific Aims:
Aim 1: To characterize Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of mTOR Inhibitors (sirolimus and everolimus) in older adults.
Aim 2: To determine whether mTOR Inhibitors will improve phenotypic biomarkers of aging as measured by SASP (senescence-associated secretory phenotype) index score at 3 months follow-up.
Exploratory Aim 3: We will also assess the feasibility of collecting the laboratory biomarkers (ESR, CRP, S6K activity, mitochondrial function, metabolomics) and data regarding the functional biomarkers of aging measured by walking speed, chair stand, standing balance, grip strength
