Brief summary

A Randomized, Double-blind, placebo-controlled Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Oral Nam for the Prevention of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing On-Pump Cardiac Surgery

Detailed description

This trial is a single-center, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled Trial of Nam versus placebo in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery. After screening and enrollment, patients will be stratified according to CKD status (eGFR\<45 ml/min/m2) and surgical site and randomized in a 1:1 manner to receive either Nam 3 grams or placebo on the day of surgery and post-surgical days one and two. The overall trial duration is planned for 42 months, consisting of 39 months of active recruitment and treatment period and three months of follow-up from the last patient enrolled.

Interventions

Niacinamide 3 grams on the day of surgery and post-surgical days one and two

DRUGPlacebo

Matched placebo on the day of surgery and post-surgical days one and two
