Abstract
This phase 2 trial assessed high-dose IV ascorbic acid in TET2 mutant clonal cytopenia. Eight of 10 patients were eligible for response assessment, with no responses at week 20 by International Working Group Myelodysplasia Syndromes/Neoplasms criteria. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03418038.
