Ascorbic Acid and Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Lymphoma, CCUS, and Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (NCT03418038)

Phase2 Trial of High Dose Intravenous Ascorbic Acid as an Adjunct to Salvage Chemotherapy in Relapsed/ Refractory Lymphoma, Patients With Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance, and Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Mayo Clinic

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase II trial studies the effect of ascorbic acid and combination chemotherapy in treating patients with lymphoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to therapy (refractory), clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). Ascorbic acid may make cancer cells more sensitive to chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ascorbic acid and combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. Arms A, B, C, and D are closed to enrollment.
