Brief Summary   Chemotherapy is an integral part of cancer treatment. Cisplatin is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents, widely used for the treatment of several malignant solid tumors. However, its clinical use is limited due to the severe side effects, including nephrotoxicity and acute kidney injury. This study will help to determine whether the addition of renogrit to cisplatin-based chemotherapy will reduce the nephrotoxicity and improve quality of life. The study will be done in 2 cancer types namely head and neck cancer and lung cancer, as these are commonly treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The study is based on the clinical experience of several ayurvedic practitioners all over India who have used Renogrit for renal disorders, chronic kidney disease, and it also supports and maintains renal health. A total of 220 participants will be enrolled for this study for a period of 2 years which aims to compare the nephroprotective effect in the presence and absence of renogrit. It is an interventional study with 50% patients on standard arm receiving cisplatin based chemotherapy and another 50% patients on interventionl arm receiving cisplatin based chemotherapy with renogrit tablets. This study involved PK bloos sampling at specified time points. FACT-G quality of life questionnaire will be administered to patients on both arms.
