bill_schubertJust got this from The Dog Aging Project people:
Thank you for the time and commitment you have already invested in determining eligibility for the Test of Rapamycin in Aging Dogs (TRIAD). We know this has been a long process, and we appreciate your dedication and Zoe’s patience!
After reviewing your dog’s lab results and initial cardiology screening, we have determined that Zoe is an ideal candidate for participation in TRIAD, and we would like to invite you to enroll Zoe in this clinical trial.
Rapamycin is, apparently, a drug used in humans also but this is a much lower level of it and the hypothesis is that it will extend the life and healthspan of dogs.
As you can see, she's super excited about it.
Don't know if she gets the placebo or the rapamycin but she does get an amazingly thorough physical twice a year at no cost to us.
