Isosorbide Mononitrate For Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Induced Kidney Injury

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that isosorbide mononitrate prevents deterioration of renal function in patients receiving anti-angiogenic therapies that target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
