Pharmacological dose ascorbic acid administration in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma patients

Objective: High-dose ascorbic acid leads to the formation of highly reactive oxygen species due to the pro-oxidant effect, resulting in cell death; therefore, used as an additive treatment in several malignancies. We present the results obtained by administration of pharmacological dose of ascorbic...

Results: The total of 4 patients who had previously received 6–9 lines of myeloma treatment were included. After 4 cycles of chemotherapy + ascorbic acid combination, 1 patient had a complete response whereas other patients had a very good partial response. Conclusion: The addition of pharmacological dose ascorbic acid to conventional chemotherapy can be an effective approach in relapsed refractory patients.
