Relaxin Agonist to Protect Kidneys During Heart Surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a drug called R2R01 can help protect your kidneys during major heart surgery. Heart surgery can sometimes damage the kidneys, and this trial is looking to see if this new medication reduces that risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for planned (non-emergency) heart surgery involving a heart-lung machine, such as bypass surgery, valve repair/replacement, or aorta surgery
- You have at least two risk factors for kidney injury during surgery (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or reduced kidney function)
- Your kidneys are working relatively normally right now, with no current kidney injury
- You weigh between 110 and 265 pounds
- You are not currently on dialysis, have not had a kidney transplant, and do not have advanced kidney disease (stage 4 or worse)
- You are able to understand the study, sign consent, and commit to not becoming pregnant (if applicable) for 90 days after the study drug

This study looks at a protein in the blood that may help predict kidney damage after heart surgery. It aims to find ways to protect kidney function during and after the operation.
This trial tests a new way of giving fluids during heart surgery that may help protect your kidneys. It looks at early signs of kidney stress to guide fluid management.
This trial tests a new device that helps support kidney function during heart surgery. It is for people with mild to moderate kidney problems who are having bypass or valve surgery.
This trial looks at whether a specific heart-surgery technique (called CLCVP) can help protect kidney function soon after surgery. It is mainly for adults with otherwise normal kidney tests before certain types of heart operations.
This trial tests whether personalized care can prevent acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) after heart or major blood vessel surgery. If you are having planned heart valve repair, bypass, or aortic surgery, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether giving amino acids (protein building blocks) during heart surgery can help protect your kidneys from damage. If you are having heart surgery and are at high risk, this treatment might reduce the chance of kidney problems afterward.
