Ongoing Lung Decline With Age Intensified Response
Sponsor: Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
Summary
This Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study will evaluate the effects of fisetin, a senolytic flavonoid compound, on lung function and biomarkers of cellular senescence in older adults aged 60 years and older. Participants will include individuals with a history of at least 10 pack-years of smoking as well as age-matched never-smokers. Forty participants will be randomized to receive either fisetin or placebo using a short-course "hit-and-run" dosing strategy (approximately 20 mg/kg/day orally for 2 consecutive days on Days 1-2 and Days 8-9).

Interventions
Fisetin
Participants randomized to the experimental arm will receive oral fisetin capsules administered at a target dose of approximately 20 mg/kg/day for 2 consecutive days on Days 1-2 and again on Days 8-9. Fisetin will be supplied as 100 mg capsules and dosed according to body weight using a senolytic "hit-and-run" treatment approach.
Placebo
Participants randomized to the control arm will receive matching placebo capsules administered orally on the same schedule as the fisetin arm (Days 1-2 and Days 8-9). Placebo will be used to maintain blinding and permit comparison of efficacy and safety outcomes between treatment groups.
