Brief summary
This open-label pilot study includes adults aged 45 to 79 residing in the United States. The study will last 7 days. Participants will provide blood samples via an at-home finger-prick kit at baseline and day 7 and complete electronic surveys on health indicators at baseline, and days 3 and 7. All procedures are conducted remotely, with no in-person visits, to collect real-world evidence.
Detailed description
Objectives Within-group changes in outcomes will be compared from baseline to the end of the study period. Primary Outcome Measures: Biomarkers in blood, measured using the Olink Target 48 Cytokine panel: Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Interleukin-1 Beta (IL1B) Interleukin-8 (CXCL8) Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGFA) Secondary Outcome Measures: Remaining biomarkers in the Olink Target 48 Cytokine panel 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) Frailty Index for Elders (FIFE) Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) Side effect profile including: Number, type, severity, causality, and outcome of adverse events or unanticipated problems Symptoms of aging, assessed by: Aging Male Symptom scale Aging Female Symptom scale Participant Details: Study Duration per Participant: 7 days Total Number of Participants: 40
