NCT ID NCT03564678
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tested whether levocarnitine and vitamin B complex could help lower high liver enzyme levels caused by chemotherapy drugs in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The study planned to enroll 10 participants but was terminated early. The goal was to see if these supplements could normalize or significantly reduce bilirubin levels within 11 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Levocarnitine and vitamin B complex
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a way to manage liver side effects from certain leukemia treatments, helping patients stay on their cancer therapy.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, early-phase trial that was terminated, so results are limited. The supplements may not effectively lower liver enzyme levels for everyone.
