Kidney protection with vitamin C and rutin during vancomycin treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking vitamin C and rutin (a plant compound) together can help protect the kidneys from damage caused by the antibiotic vancomycin. It compares this combination to vitamin C alone and to no extra supplement.

This trial tests whether taking vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 can help protect your kidneys while you receive chemotherapy with cisplatin and gemcitabine. It may reduce the risk of kidney damage from these treatments.
This trial tests whether taking alpha lipoic acid (an antioxidant) alongside the antibiotic colistin can help protect the kidneys from damage. It may be helpful for patients who need colistin to fight a serious bacterial infection.
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 compares two common antibiotic combinations to see which one is safer for your kidneys. It uses a special blood test (cystatin-C) alongside standard tests to get a clearer picture of kidney function.
This Phase 3 study tests whether melatonin can help protect the kidneys in people who are starting or continuing vancomycin, an antibiotic that can sometimes affect kidney function. If you qualify, you would take melatonin as an added prevention step while you’re on vancomycin.
This trial compares two common antibiotic combinations to see which one is less likely to cause kidney injury in hospitalized patients. You may be eligible if you need treatment with vancomycin plus either piperacillin-tazobactam or cefepime.
