E.1.2 | Level | LLT |
E.1.2 | Classification code | 10006634 |
E.1.2 | Term | Burn |

E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The objective of this pilot trial is to demonstrate feasibility and safety of a high-dose intravenous vitamin C administration in 180 severely burned patients.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
a) to gain first information about the safety and pharmacokinetics of highdose intravenous vitamin C in this patient population b) determine possible endpoints for a definitive study, and c) to evaluate the oxidation-reduction potential as a new biomarker for oxidative stress. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
18 years of age or older with deep 2nd and/or 3rd degree burns, who are assessed as requiring skin grafting, and a minimum burn size ≥ 20% Total Body Surface Area (TBSA). Patients with smaller burns are less likely to require fluid resuscitation and their risk of morbidity and mortality is lower. Burn size will be determined by the attending physician (and confirmed by the attending surgeon if it is not the same person). |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. >24 hours from admission to ICU or burn unit to assessment. 2. Patients admitted to burn unit >24 hours from injury or accident. 3. Patients who are moribund (not expected to survive the next 72 hours). 4. Pregnancy (pregnancy will be ruled out as part of standard of care) or lactating. 5. Enrolment in another industry sponsored ICU interventional study 6. Receiving high-dose IV vitamin C already (enteral or oral vitamin C is allowed). 7. Known glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. 8. Recent history of kidney stones (within the last year).

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Feasibility metrics including compliance with the study protocol: >90% compliance with study investigational product (IP) <5% Lost-to-Follow up [LTFU]) low rate of consent failures (<30%) adequate enrollment rates to support the larger confirmatory phase II/III trial. Assessment of the pharmacokinetics and safety of the proposed dosing strategy in this patient population and the distribution of the oxidative reduction potential (ORP) as a marker of oxidative stress within treated and untreated burn patients. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
- Dose finding - Hospital and ICU mortality - Hospital and ICU length of stay - ICU and hospital readmission rates - Duration of mechanical ventilation - Time-to-discharge alive from the hospital - Time-to-95% graft closure (wound healing) - In hospital bacteremia with gram-negative bacilli - 6-month mortality - 6 month quality of life - Serious adverse events - Frequency of operative procedures for burn care, antibiotic utilization, blood transfusions, and other major cost drivers (to be used for the economic evaluation) |
