Terbinafine to prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if terbinafine, a common antifungal medicine, can protect the kidneys during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It may help prevent acute kidney injury, a serious complication that can prolong recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.

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 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 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.
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 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 study tests whether giving a vitamin B3 supplement (nicotinamide) before, during, and after heart surgery can help protect the kidneys from injury. If you are having heart surgery and have a higher risk of kidney damage, this treatment might reduce that risk.
