Tavenier et al. published a study protocol for a triple-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of low-dose fisetin (100 mg orally once daily for 7 weeks) in middle-aged and older adults. The primary outcome is the between-group difference in change of plasma soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), a marker of chronic inflammation, from baseline to week 7. This is a protocol paper only — no results have been reported. Fisetin remains under clinical investigation as a senolytic and anti-inflammatory agent; the trial will add to the limited human evidence base once completed.

Critic notes

Protocol only — no data, no effect size, no safety results. Pending trial completion. Does not change fisetin evidence grade (already C).
