Study summary

This study is a single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of "NAD+ supplementation" with Basis™ (Nicotinamide Riboside and Pterostilbene) in preventing acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing complex aortic aneurysm repair and open aortic arch reconstruction.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Basis

    The investigational product, Basis™, contains a synthetic NR that is nature-identical to naturally-occurring NR, does not induce flushing or pruritus and has no effect on lipid levels. Also contains Pterostilbene (Ptero) that is a stilbenoid compound, characterized by two aromatic rings connected by a methylene bridge backbone, and it has two methoxy groups and one hydroxyl group extending from the aromatic rings.

    Drug: Nicotinamide Riboside + Pterostilbene

  • Placebo comparator
    Placebo

    Correspondent placebo, a capsule not containing the active component.

    Drug: Placebo

Interventions

  • DrugNicotinamide Riboside + Pterostilbene

    It will be administered a total of 1000 mg/day of NR and 200 mg/day of Ptero in a regimen of 2 capsules of Basis™ (each capsule 250 mg of NR and 50 mg of Ptero) 2 times a day by mouth for 2 weeks before surgery and 6 weeks after surgery. Each intake has to be apart from each other by, at least, 6 hours of interval.

    Also known as: Basis

  • DrugPlacebo

    The correspondent placebo will be administered in a regimen of 2 capsules 2 times a day by mouth for 2 weeks before surgery and 6 weeks after surgery. Each intake has to be apart from each other by, at least, 6 hours of interval.
