Peripheral Arterial Disease study: Fisetin
Official title Fisetin to Reduce Senescence and Mobility Impairment in PAD
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06399809
What this study is testing
What is Fisetin?
An investigational oral flavanol being studied as a potential treatment for peripheral arterial disease. It is designed to act as a senolytic agent that helps remove senescent cells from tissues.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether Fisetin reduces old, damaged cells in the body. It also checks if this helps people walk farther.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you have peripheral artery disease (narrowed leg arteries).
- What's involved
- You would take Fisetin or a pretend pill. The team will check your blood and muscle samples. You will also walk on a treadmill to see how far you can go.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts a set time with visits for tests and blood draws.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance.
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
