Could vitamin c tame anemia? early trial tests high doses in rare blood disorders
NCT ID NCT07612345
First seen May 31, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests whether high-dose Vitamin C is safe for people with two rare inherited blood disorders—Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PKD) and a form of G6PD deficiency. Both conditions cause red blood cells to break down too quickly, leading to anemia. The study will enroll 3 adults with PKD first, giving them Vitamin C up to three times daily for 3 weeks, while closely monitoring side effects and blood health. If safe, the trial may expand to include more patients and eventually children.
