Can a simple infusion shield your kidneys during robotic cancer surgery?
NCT ID NCT06408597
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two drugs, mannitol and nitroglycerin, given during robotic prostate or bladder surgery to prevent acute kidney injury. The surgery can reduce blood flow to the kidneys, and these drugs may help protect them. 90 adults with normal or mildly reduced kidney function are taking part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mannitol or nitroglycerin
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple way to protect kidneys during robotic surgery, reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 90 participants. It may not show a clear benefit, and results may not apply to all patients.
