Fisetin to Reduce Senescence and Mobility Impairment in PAD
Fisetin to Reduce Senescence and Mobility Impairment in Peripheral Artery Disease: the FIRST Pilot Randomized Trial
Northwestern University
34 participants
Sep 30, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The investigators propose a pilot randomized trial to gather preliminary data to test the hypothesis that Fisetin will reduce abundance of senescent cells in blood, skeletal muscle, and both subcutaneous and inter muscular adipose tissue and improve 6-minute walk distance in 34 people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). the investigators will determine whether greater declines in abundance of cells with senescent markers are associated with greater improvement in 6-minute walk distance in people with peripheral artery disease. In exploratory analyses, the investigators will assess whether Fisetin reduces interleukin-6 (IL-6) and novel senescent markers in adipose tissue, muscle, and/or blood.

Interventions
Fisetin is a flavanol, present in strawberries, apples, and persimmons, that destroys senescent cells (i.e. a senolytic therapy). Of three senolytic therapies being tested in clinical trials, fisetin has the best safety profile.
The placebo will be matched to the Fisetin intervention
