Terbinafine to prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether the antifungal drug terbinafine can help prevent kidney injury after heart surgery. It is for adults who are scheduled for elective heart surgery with a heart-lung machine and are at high risk for kidney problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 medication called nesiritide (a heart-supportive drug) can prevent kidney damage that sometimes occurs after heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. Patients at higher risk for this kidney injury are being enrolled to see if the medication helps protect their kidneys.
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 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 if giving amino acids during heart surgery can protect the kidneys. If you are having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine and have reasonably good kidney function, you may be able to join.
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.
