amiodarone,
ascorbic acid
NCT00953212 Completed
4 ACTS trial Interventional study 205 participants Vitamin C, vitamin B1, hydrocortisone NCT03389555 Completed The combination did not show significant reduction in the SOFA score
5 Intravenous vitamin C in the treatment of viral infection especially in the treatment of shingles Interventional study 68 participants IV vitamin C NCT00921934 Completed The results showed that there was decline in the pain score which provide evidence that IV vitamin C is beneficial in treatment of viral infection

versus
vitamin C
versus
placebo

10 Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) infusion in human sepsis Interventional study 24 participants Ascorbic acid NCT01434121 Completed Ascorbic acid significantly reduced the proinflammatory biomarkers C-reactive protein and procalcitonin
11 Vit C-AF Interventional study 20 participants Vitamin C NCT03148236 Completed High dose of vitamin C is safe and well tolerated at the time of AF ablation and is associated with a blunted rise in C-reactive protein
12 CITRIS-ALI Interventional study 170 participants Infusion: vitamin C NCT02106975 Completed The infusion of ascorbic acid did not significantly improve the organ dysfunction scores
13 Study of high-dose vitamin C on outcome in cardiac surgery patients Interventional study 57 participants Drug: ascorbic acid
Placebo: 5% Dextrose water or normal saline
NCT01167569 Completed
14 VCSIP of infant lung infection Interventional study 252 participants Vitamin C NCT01723696 Completed
