Blog Post Graphic for the Scientific Results: Test of Rapamycin in Aging Dogs (TRIAD): study design and rationale for a prospective, parallel-group, double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial of rapamycin in healthy middle-aged dogs from the Dog Aging Project with a picture of a laboratory setup with test tubes, pipette tips, pipettes, and a Dog Aging Project box with a dog image, all arranged on a white surface with a tiled wall in the background. This paper describes the TRIAD clinical trial, which is part of our ongoing work to understand healthy aging in dogs. The TRIAD study is still in progress, and this paper explains how the study is designed. Read the full blog post at: dogagingproject.org/blog
