Kidney shield? drug may protect young cancer patients from chemo harm
NCT ID NCT06196853
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether the drug aminophylline can protect the kidneys of children receiving cisplatin chemotherapy. Twenty-four children will be randomly assigned to receive either aminophylline or a placebo alongside their standard chemo hydration. Researchers will measure kidney function and damage markers over five days to see if aminophylline helps.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- aminophylline
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a way to reduce kidney damage in children undergoing cisplatin chemotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-phase trial with only 24 children, so results may not be conclusive. Aminophylline can cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, and heart rhythm changes.
