Parenteral Ascorbic Acid Repletion in TransplantatIon (PARTI)
Parenteral Ascorbic Acid Repletion in TransplantatIon (PARTI): A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial
Study Overview

Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
HYPOTHESIS: Administration of supraphysiologic doses of parenteral AA in the perioperative period for patients undergoing liver transplantation will improve Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores, vasopressor usage and biochemical, cellular and clinical end-organ damage.
Specific Aim: Determine the clinical response to parenteral AA supplementation in patients undergoing liver transplantation by a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
Study Design: This study is a prospective, single-center, randomized trial in which 90 participants will be enrolled at the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics (UWHC). Participants must meet study eligibility criteria and be scheduled to undergo primary deceased donor solitary liver transplantation. Participants will be randomized to receive 8 doses of 1500 mg AA IV or volume-equivalent placebo every 6 hours for 48 hours, in addition to standard medical management.

Experimental: Ascorbic Acid (AA)
The first intravenous dosage of 1500mg of AA in 100mL of normal saline (NS) will be administered after induction of general anesthesia and invasive line placement prior to surgical incision.
An identical dosage will be delivered approximately every 6 hours for the first 48 hours, for a total of 8 doses

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Score
Time Frame: baseline to 3 days after first dose
|
SOFA scores are a widely used composite measure of multiorgan dysfunction, validated as an accurate predictor of short- and long-term mortality in the general ICU and liver transplant populations. Change in SOFA from baseline (delta SOFA or dSOFA) has been shown to be more predictive of mortality than other derivatives such as absolute interval SOFA scores and has been recommended as the preferred endpoint in critical care settings The total possible range of scores is 0-24, higher scores are indicative of a higher degree of dysfunction. |
