Clinical Trial: Short Term Sirolimus Treatment and MRI of the Brain

Study Status: RECRUITING
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL




Official Title: Short Term Apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-Dependent Cerebral Blood Flow Response to Sirolimus in Cognitively Normal Adults

Brief Summary: Alzheimer's disease is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by accumulation of clumps (also called plaques) and bundles of fibers (also called tangles) in the brain, for which there is currently no cure.
Sirolimus is an FDA-approved medication which may improve the blood flow to the brain.
This study is designed to see if sirolimus treatment improves MRI blood flow to the brain in individuals with and without a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's disease.
