Overview

FOXO4-DRI is a D-retro-inverso peptide designed to block the FOXO4-p53 interaction, inducing apoptosis in senescent cells. The concept has been validated preclinically but there is no standard human therapeutic framework. Mouse studies use 5 mg/kg IP on every-other-day schedules. Safety in humans is unknown; this is a high-risk category from a platform standpoint.
