About this study
Official title: Randomized Clinical Trial of Beta Nicotinamide Mononucleotide in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
The investigators will perform a phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery to investigate the effects of oral nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) administration on myocardial NAD+ concentrations and on postoperative markers of myocardial and kidney injury.
Read the detailed description
This is a phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled clinical trial in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. A total of 90 patients will be randomized 1:1:1 to placebo or to one of two dosing regimens of NMN seven days prior to surgery as follows:
Arm A: NMN 1,000 mg PO twice daily, administered for 7 days preoperatively, on the day of surgery, and for 3 days postoperatively
Arm B: NMN 1,000 mg PO twice daily, administered for 2 days preoperatively, on the day of surgery, and for 3 days postoperatively
Arm C: Placebo PO twice daily, administered for 7 days preoperatively, on the day of surgery, and for 3 days postoperatively
There are two major study aims:
Aim 1: Test the effect of oral NMN administration on myocardial NAD+ concentration.
Aim 2: Test the effect of oral NMN administration on postoperative myocardial and kidney injury parameters.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing MIB-626 in people with Cardiac Surgery, run by Brigham and Women's Hospital at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Shalender Bhasin, MB,BS (617-525-9150, sbhasin@bwh.harvard.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
NAD+ concentration in the myocardial tissue (time frame: Intraoperatively (single time point)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Sep 2026.
