  • Female
  • Baseline diminished 6-minute walk distance (< 400m). Must be able to ambulate without assistance from another individual. Supportive devices such as a cane or walker are allowed
  • History of resected stage I-III breast cancer treated with neo/adjuvant chemotherapy
  • Must have completed chemotherapy within at least 3 months but no more than 6 months
  • Must have been postmenopausal at the time of cancer diagnosis
  • Platelets > 60,000/mm^3
  • White blood cell count > 2,000/mm^3
  • Absolute neutrophil count > 500/mm^3
  • Hemoglobin >= 7.0 g/dL
  • Total bilirubin =< 3.0 X upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =< 4.0 x ULN
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 4.0 x ULN
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of >= 30mL/min/1.73m^2 per the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) calculation

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Chemotherapy, biological therapy, or immunotherapy within 3 months prior to the start of study treatment. Exceptions include: trastuzumab, pertuzumab, pembrolizumab, tamoxifen, and aromatase inhibitors
  • Surgery and/or radiation within the last 30 days (Exception: invasive non- major procedures such as an outpatient biopsy)
  • Subjects taking medications that cannot be stopped 2 days prior to the start of study that are sensitive to substrates or substrates with a narrow therapeutic range for CYP3A4, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, or CYP2D6 or strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 (e.g., cyclosporine, tacrolimus or sirolimus) within 14 days prior to the start of study treatment. If antifungals are absolutely necessary from an infectious disease perspective, then they will be allowed only if the levels are therapeutic. Azole antifungals are not allowed (fluconazole, miconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, isavuconazole)
  • On herbal and natural medications (Exception: cannabidiol (CBD) and unable or unwilling to hold its administration 2 days prior to and during study treatment dosing
  • On proton pump inhibitors and unable or unwilling to hold therapy 2 days prior to the start of study treatment and during study treatment dosing
  • Subjects taking potentially senolytic agents within the last year: fisetin, quercetin, luteolin, dasatinib or imatinib (or other tyrosine kinase inhibitors), piperlongumine, or navitoclax
  • Subjects on therapeutic doses of anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, heparin, low molecular weight heparin, factor Xa inhibitors, etc.)
  • Subjects taking the following antimicrobial agents within 2 days prior to the start of study: aminoglycosides, macrolides (clarithromycin, erythromycin), antivirals (nelfinavir, indinavir, saquinavir, ritonavir, elbasvir/grazoprevir), rifampin
  • Issues with tolerating oral medication (such as but not limited to, inability to swallow pills (g-tubes not allowed), malabsorption issues, ongoing nausea or vomiting during screening, history of Crohn's, gastric bypass/reduction, or celiac disease)
  • Untreated endocrine disorder such as hypoparathyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, acromegaly, Cushing's syndrome, hypopituitarism. Treated conditions are allowed
  • Active infection requiring antibiotics
  • Any other condition that would, in the Investigator's judgment, contraindicate the patient's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns with clinical study procedures
  • Currently participating in another intervention research study seeking to improve functional status, alleviate frailty, muscle strength, exhaustion/fatigue, or cognitive function
  • Prospective participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with all study procedures (including compliance issues related to feasibility/logistics)

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Placebo Comparator

Arm Label

Arm A (fisetin)

Arm B (placebo)

Arm Description

Patients receive fisetin PO on the trial. Patients also undergo collection of blood throughout the trial.

Patients receive placebo PO on the trial. Patients also undergo collection of blood throughout the trial.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in 6-minute walk distance (6MWD)
The 6MWD is a validated measure of physical function. Participants walk at their own pace for 6 minutes and distance (in meters) is measured at the end. Will be treated as a continuous variable. Its distribution will be transformed to normality as appropriate, Initially, a simple t-test will be used to compare the means of 6MWD at Day 60 by treatment groups.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in grip strength
Generalized estimating equation (GEE) models will be fitted. The variables also will be dichotomized (e.g., < median, >= median) and GEE models for binary data used to test treatment effects over time.
Change in short physical performance battery (SPPB) score
GEE models will be fitted. The variables also will be dichotomized (e.g., < median, >= median) and GEE models for binary data used to test treatment effects over time.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This phase II trial tests whether fisetin works to improve physical function in older women who have received chemotherapy for stage I-III breast cancer treatment. Fisetin is a naturally occurring substance that is found in strawberries and other foods. Fisetin eliminates cells that have undergone a process called senescence. Senescence is when a cell ages and permanently stops dividing but does not die. Over time, large numbers of these cells build up in tissues throughout the body and can release harmful substances that causes inflammation and damages nearby healthy cells. Studies have shown that chemotherapy causes a build-up of these senescent cells. Giving fisetin may eliminate senescent cells and improve physical function in postmenopausal women who have received chemotherapy for breast cancer.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the effect of fisetin on physical function, as assessed using the 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the effect of fisetin on other measures of physical function (grip strength, short physical performance battery [SPPB].
