Fisetin to Reduce Senescence and Mobility Impairment in PAD (NCT06399809)

Fisetin to Reduce Senescence and Mobility Impairment in Peripheral Artery Disease: the FIRST Pilot Randomized Trial

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Northwestern University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

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.
