Simple vitamins may shield kidneys from chemo damage, new study suggests
NCT ID NCT07476443
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 can prevent kidney damage in cancer patients receiving cisplatin chemotherapy. About 75 adults with various cancers who have not had chemo before will take these supplements alongside their treatment. The goal is to see if these safe, low-cost antioxidants reduce the risk of kidney injury.
