RECRUITING

Parenteral Ascorbic Acid Repletion in TransplantatIon

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

A single-center, randomized, double-blinded placebo-controlled trial is proposed to investigate administration of supraphysiologic doses of ascorbic acid (vitamin C, AA) to patients undergoing liver transplantation. Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive intravenous (IV) AA 1500 mg every 6 hours for 48 hours. Participants randomized to the control group will receive a saline placebo. The primary study outcome will be a change in the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score from baseline to three days after the first dose of drug (dSOFA3). Secondary outcomes will include total vasopressor dose in norepinephrine equivalents, 30-day and 1-year mortality, and serum AA levels.
