About this trial
This Phase II clinical study investigates the safety and effectiveness of a new drug, Isomyosamine, in patients with sarcopenia or frailty, conditions associated with aging and muscle weakness. Isomyosamine is a promising oral medication that reduces inflammation by targeting cytokines like TNF-α and IL-6, which are linked to these conditions. Previous studies have shown it is well-tolerated and may help improve muscle strength, mobility, and healing after hip fractures. This trial aims to determine its potential benefits in reducing inflammation and improving recovery in elderly patients.
