The Mito-Frail Trial: Effects of MitoQ on Vasodilation, Mobility and Cognitive Performance in Frail Older Adults

Conditions: Frailty, Mild Cognitive Impairment, Aging

Sex: All
Ages: 65 Years – 80 Years
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: PHASE2
Enrollment: 60
Sponsor: UConn Health

Location: UConn Health Farmington Connecticut

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of MitoQ supplementation in older adults and frail older adults with physical dysfunction and/or cognitive dysfunction. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * To compare vascular function, oxidative stress levels, and physical and cognitive function among older adults and frail older adults with physical and cognitive dysfunction * To determine whether MitoQ supplementation has the potential to improve vascular function in central and cerebral vessels * To determine whether MitoQ supplementation can enhance physical and cognitive capabilities.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * men and women aged 65-80 with a slow gait speed (0.4m/s based on a 4m walk) and/or mild cognitive impairment. * good cardiovascular health (not taking any blood pressure/flow/metabolism altering medications) Exclusion Criteria: * A vaccination in past two weeks * Recent acute infection three weeks prior to enrollment * Known immunodeficiency (including HIV infection, primary immunodeficiency, any history of chemotherapy or radiotherapy * Use of medicines during past 6 months known to alter immune response such as high- dose corticosteroids * Severe autoimmune disease requiring biological therapy * Major severe illness and/or Hospitalization in past 3 months * On warfarin or other medications that are considered a blood thinner * Recent fall or other conditions that will impair ability to complete and/or interpret mobility performance test * Known bleeding disorder * Any conditions that would impair the function to perform grip strength test * include advanced neurological disease, severe co-morbid disease, terminal illness with reduced life expectancy, severe disability, unintentional weight loss in last 12 months and participation in another study. * Diabetes patients requiring insulin (For reducing the risk that participants will have hypoglycemic episodes when fasting for study visits) * Baseline ECG QTc \>450 ms in men and QTc \>460 ms in women * Prior diagnosis of ventricular arrhythmia (e.g., ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsades de pointes)
