Natural supplement to protect kidneys during platinum chemotherapy
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether a natural supplement made from citrus plant compounds (diosmin and hesperidin) can protect your kidneys from damage caused by platinum-based chemotherapy drugs. Platinum chemotherapy is effective against many cancers but can harm kidney function over time.

This trial tests if a supplement called L-carnitine can help prevent kidney damage caused by the chemotherapy drug cisplatin. It may be an option for newly diagnosed cancer patients who need cisplatin treatment.
This study tests whether a supplement called alpha-lipoic acid can help protect your kidneys from damage caused by cisplatin, a common chemotherapy drug. If it works, it could reduce side effects and help you tolerate your cancer treatment better.
This trial tests whether pantoprazole can help prevent kidney damage caused by a chemotherapy drug called cisplatin. It may help protect kidney function in people with head and neck cancer receiving cisplatin.
This trial tests a way to protect your kidneys while you receive platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin) for a solid tumor. It may help reduce the risk of kidney damage so you can complete your treatment more safely.
This study tests whether a supplement called N-acetylcysteine (a type of antioxidant) can help protect the kidneys during cisplatin chemotherapy. Cisplatin is a common cancer drug but can sometimes harm the kidneys, so this trial aims to see if adding this supplement reduces that risk.
