Study Description

Brief 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.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
AKI	Drug: Nicotinamide Riboside + Pterostilbene; Drug: Placebo	Phase 2

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
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; 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.; Other Name: Basis
Placebo Comparator: Placebo; Correspondent placebo, a capsule not containing the active component.	Drug: Placebo; 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. AKI [ Time Frame: 6 months ]

   The secondary endpoint will be change in the incidence of myocardial infarction
2. Bowel ischemia [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
   The secondary endpoint will be change in the incidence of bowel ischemia
3. Spinal cord injury [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
   The secondary endpoint will be change in the incidence of spinal cord injury
4. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD), Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN), and Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
   NAD, NMN, NR levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)
5. Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP2), Kidney Injury Molecule 1 (KIM-1), Insulin-like Growth Factor-binding Protein 7 (IGFBP7) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
   TIMP2, KIM-1, IGFBP7 levels in urine
6. Quinolinate and Tryptophan [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
   Quinolinate and Tryptophan levels in urine
