Study Summary

The VItamin C, Thiamine And Steroids in Sepsis (VICTAS) Study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, adaptive randomized clinical trial designed to investigate the efficacy of the combined use of vitamin C, thiamine and corticosteroids versus indistinguishable placebos for patients with sepsis. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of combination therapy using vitamin C, thiamine and corticosteroids in reducing mortality and improving organ function in critically ill patients with sepsis.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome measure is VVFD in the first 30 days after the start of treatment. The endpoint was recorded to the nearest day. Participants who died are scored zero days, even if there was a period during which the participant was alive and free of vasopressors and mechanical ventilation. Participants who must return to ventilation and/or vasopressors had their counters reset at zero days.
