Strawberry compound could help breast cancer survivors walk farther
NCT ID NCT05595499
First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026
Summary
This phase II trial tests whether fisetin, a natural substance found in strawberries, can improve physical function in postmenopausal women who have had chemotherapy for stage I-III breast cancer. Chemotherapy can cause a buildup of aged, non-dividing cells called senescent cells, which release harmful substances and damage healthy tissue. Fisetin aims to clear these senescent cells, potentially helping survivors walk farther and regain strength.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a naturally occurring substance called fisetin, found in strawberries and other foods
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a way to improve physical function and reduce frailty in breast cancer survivors after chemotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial, so results may not be conclusive. Fisetin may not effectively clear senescent cells or improve physical function in this population.
