Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether a supplement called nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) can protect the heart and kidneys of people undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers will give NMN or a placebo to 90 adults at higher risk of complications. The main goal is to see if NMN raises levels of a key cell chemical (NAD+) in heart tissue and reduces injury after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple supplement to reduce heart and kidney damage after bypass surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial. It only tests if NMN boosts certain cell chemicals, not whether it actually prevents complications. The results may not lead to a proven treatment.
