Brief summary
The investigators will perform a phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in adult patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery to investigate the effects of oral nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) administration on myocardial NAD+ concentrations and on postoperative markers of myocardial and kidney injury.
Detailed description
This is a phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled clinical trial in adult patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. A total of 90 patients will be randomized 1:1:1 to placebo or to one of two dosing regimens of NMN seven days prior to surgery as follows: Arm A: NMN 1,000 mg PO twice daily, administered for 7 days preoperatively, on the day of surgery, and for 4 days postoperatively Arm B: NMN 1,000 mg PO twice daily, administered for 2 days preoperatively, on the day of surgery, and for 4 days postoperatively Arm C: Placebo PO twice daily, administered for 7 days preoperatively, on the day of surgery, and for 4 days postoperatively There are two major study aims: Aim 1: Test the effect of oral NMN administration on myocardial NAD+ concentration. Aim 2: Test the effect of oral NMN administration on postoperative myocardial and kidney injury parameters.
