Mega-Dose vitamin c trial offers hope for Tough-to-Treat blood cancer

NCT ID NCT03602235

Summary

This early-stage study tested whether adding very high doses of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to a low dose of chemotherapy (melphalan) is safe and might help control advanced multiple myeloma. It involved 6 patients whose cancer had returned or stopped responding to multiple prior treatments. The main goal was to check for side effects while looking for early signs that the combination could reduce cancer levels.
