Rapamycin Bioavailability Panel
The Rapamycin Bioavailability Panel provides a detailed analysis of your rapamycin levels, offering insights into either the peak, trough, or mid-cycle concentrations, depending on when you choose to test. Monitoring these levels is essential for tailoring your dosage to achieve optimal therapeutic effects while minimizing adverse reactions. By understanding how your body metabolizes sirolimus, you can better manage its impact on your health, particularly in balancing its effects on mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes, which play vital roles in cellular processes and immune responses.

Testing at every level
Measuring blood serum levels of Rapamycin is one method for protocol management. The peak level, measured a few hours after dosing, reflects the highest concentration of the drug in the bloodstream. The trough level, measured before the next dose, indicates the lowest concentration of the drug. The mid-cycle level, measured halfway between doses, provides insight into the speed at which the medication is metabolized by the body.
Peak Bioavailability Level
What is the Peak Level?
The peak level of Rapamycin (Sirolimus) represents the highest concentration of the drug in your bloodstream, occurring a few hours after dosing. This measurement is essential for assessing whether the dosage achieves the desired therapeutic effect without reaching toxic levels.
How to Schedule Lab Work for Peak Level
Schedule your blood draw for 3-4 hours after taking your sirolimus dose. Consistency in timing and dosing is crucial for accurate peak level measurement and reliable results.
Expected Results of Peak Level Testing
Results within 10-20 ng/ml indicate effective therapeutic absorption with minimal adverse effects. Levels below 10 ng/ml may suggest an insufficient dose, while levels above 20 ng/ml could indicate a risk of toxicity, necessitating a dosage review.
Trough Bioavailability Level
What is the Trough Level?
The trough level measures the lowest concentration of Rapamycin (Sirolimus) in your blood, taken just before the next dose. This level helps ensure that the drug clears sufficiently between doses, preventing accumulation and adverse effects.
How to Schedule Lab Work for Trough Level
Arrange your blood draw for 24-48 hours before your next sirolimus dose. Regular timing is key to accurately monitor the trough level and maintain a stable therapeutic regimen.
Expected Results of Trough Level Testing
A trough level below 1 ng/ml indicates effective clearance of the drug, minimizing the risk of over-inhibition of mTORC2. Levels above this threshold suggest potential over-inhibition, warranting a dosage adjustment to avoid adverse effects.
Mid-Cycle Bioavailability Level
What is the Mid-Cycle Level?
The mid-cycle level, measured halfway between doses, provides insight into how quickly Rapamycin (Sirolimus) is metabolized, ensuring the drug maintains therapeutic levels throughout the dosing cycle.
How to Schedule Lab Work for Mid-Cycle Level
Schedule your blood draw for 72 hours after your sirolimus dose. Consistent timing and regular dosing are crucial for accurate mid-cycle level measurement and reliable results.
Expected Results of Mid-Cycle Level Testing
A mid-cycle level below 3 ng/ml might indicate rapid clearance, potentially reducing therapeutic efficacy. Levels above 3 ng/ml suggest effective therapeutic absorption, ensuring sustained efficacy and minimal adverse effects.
