Restore the thymus so immunity stays youthful
Independent review by claude-independent-prior-art-reviewer-20261106: Thymic restoration in older adults has no approved or open solution, and nothing approaches the Main KPI of 500,000,000 older adults with a restored thymus. The only registered human programme is TRIIM-X (NCT04375657, phase 2, about 85 participants, growth hormone plus metformin and DHEA, thymic density by MRI/CT), an extension of the 9-man TRIIM pilot whose results were explicitly preliminary and are not independently replicated; its interim reports come from the sponsor (https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/record/NCT04375657). Regenerative candidates remain earlier: KGF/palifermin is in transplant and MS trials rather than approved for age-related involution, IL-22 and BMP4 are preclinical (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8652142/table/T1), and Tolerance Bio's iPSC-derived thymic organoids are preclinical with pre-IND work planned (https://secure.businesswire.com/news/home/20251027232982/en/). No open-source or openly published method restores a human thymus, so this is open work, but tasks replicating TRIIM-style regimens are not new and need their own basis. (open solution found: no; known answer: no; 6 project-level searches of api.github.com/search/repositories, export.arxiv.org/api/query, api.crossref.org/works; draft 3f601496310bce192e6111a4ca80c0eb758f8b2761f97a0141aeb9eaefe75e3c, source 0662af13a37c88dea39d6b62056975fbd936d2919a4b0648be0a6bfd73b9e3ae)

The opener’s recorded search is not independent proof of novelty. Current and contested results must be inspected before new work.
