Status:
Enrolling by invitation

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to test whether Fisetin, a senolytic drug, can assist in preventing an increase in the disease's progression and alleviate complications of coronavirus due to an excessive inflammatory reaction.
Description:
To determine if Fisetin treatment can prevent deterioration of oxygenation status as measured by S/F ratio: SpO2/ FiO2, as well as prevent deterioration in physical function (frailty) and hyper-inflammation, other measures of oxygenation status (progression to supplemental oxygen requirement, assisted breathing/ ventilation), and progression from mild/ moderate to severe/ critical proven COVID-19 (CoV) infection (WHO/NIH Baseline Severity Classification) in non-ICU hospitalized patients and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Fisetin in this patient population.

Eligibility Criteria:

Sexes Eligible for Study:All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:Yes
Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Currently hospitalized in a Mayo Clinic hospital.

- Age ≥ 60 years admitted for CoV infection to non-ICU beds at Mayo Clinic.

- Willing and able to provide written informed consent, or with a LAR who provides informed consent, or enrolled under ICH E6(R2) 4.8.15 emergency use provisions as deemed necessary by the investigator (participants ≥ 60 years of age) prior to performing study procedures.

- SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by PCR test before randomization.

- Men or post-menopausal women.

General Exclusion Criteria:

- Patient or LAR unable or unwilling to give informed consent.

- Presence of any condition that the Investigator or the subject's attending physician believes would put the subject at risk or would preclude the patient from successfully completing the trial.

- Mechanically ventilated (including V-V ECMO or V-A ECMO).

Laboratory Exclusion Criteria:

- Total bilirubin > 3 x upper limit of normal.

- Serum aspartate transaminase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 4 x the upper limits of normal.

- Hemoglobin < 7 g/dL; white blood cell count ≤ 2,000/mm^3 (≤ 2.0 x 10^9/L) or ≥ 20,000/mm^3 (≥ 20 x 10^9/L); platelet count ≤ 60,000/μL (≤ 60 x 10^9/L); absolute neutrophil count ≤ 1 x 10^9/L; lymphocyte count < 0.5 x 10^9/L at screening.

- Unstable major cardiovascular, renal, endocrine, immunological, or hepatic disorder.

eGFR < 25 ml/ min/ 1.73 m^2.

- Plasma glucose > 300.

- Cystatin C > 3 x upper limit of normal.

Clinical History Exclusion Criteria:

- Human immunodeficiency virus infection.

- Known active hepatitis B or C infection.

- Invasive fungal infection.

- Uncontrolled pleural/pericardial effusions or ascites.

- New/active invasive cancer except non-melanoma skin cancers.

Medication Exclusion Criteria:

- Known hypersensitivity or allergy to Fisetin.

- Subjects taking medications 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). If antifungals are absolutely necessary from an infectious disease perspective, then they will be allowed only if the levels are therapeutic.

- Strong inhibitors of CYP3A4.

- Subjects taking proton pump inhibitors who are unable or unwilling to reduce or hold therapy 2 days prior to and during the Fisetin dosing.

Outcome:
Primary Outcome Measures
1. Serious Adverse Events [6 months]
Number of participants to experience serious adverse events and hypersensitivity reactions.
2. Change in oxygenation status [baseline, Day 3, 7, 10, 14, 17 and 30; Months 3 and 6]
change in oxygenation levels as measured by S/F ratio (SPO2/FiO2)
Secondary Outcome Measures
1. COVID-19 Severity Category [6 months]
Number of participants to progress to severe or critical classification measure by the WHO/ NIH Baseline Severity Classification criteria descriptions of SARS-CoV-2 infection without symptoms, Mild COVID-19 (CoV), Moderate CoV, Severe CoV and Critical CoV
