Study Summary

Previous research has shown that high dose intravenous vitamin C (HDIVC) may benefit patients with sepsis, acute lung injury (ALI), and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, it is not known if early administration of HDIVC could prevent progression to ARDS. We hypothesize that HDIVC is safe and tolerable in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) subjects given early or late in the disease course and may reduce the risk of respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation and development of ARDS along with reductions in supplemental oxygen demand and inflammatory markers.

Primary Outcome

Occurrence of adverse events during study drug infusion as defined in the Ascor package insert ie acute kidney injury (increase in serum creatinine 3x baseline prior to initial HDIVC dose, hemolysis, iatrogenic hypoglycemia, pain at swelling site of infusion, crystalluria on urinalysis (UA) after last HDIVC dose
