Summary
This trial will study if two drugs can slow aging in people with depression or schizophrenia.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 50+ with schizophrenia or 60+ with treatment-resistant major depression. Participants must have three aging-related conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or arthritis, and be on stable medication for their mental disorder. They can't join if they have dementia, recent severe illnesses (like heart attacks), uncontrolled health issues (high blood pressure/diabetes), certain drug interactions, or are at risk of harming themselves.
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination of dasatinib plus quercetin in older adults with depression or schizophrenia to see if it slows down aging. It's an open-label pilot study where everyone knows what treatment they're getting.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from dasatinib include fluid retention, bleeding problems, and immune system effects; quercetin may cause headaches and tingling in the arms/legs. The combination could potentially amplify these effects.
