Study Arms (2)

Thiamine

EXPERIMENTAL

200mg parenterally administered thiamine hydrochloride given twice daily for a 3 days (6 doses)

Drug: Thiamine Hydrochloride

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Matching placebo (50ml 0.9%NACL) given twice daily for 3 days (6 administrations)

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

Thiamine hydrochloride is a water soluble vitamin (vitamin B1). 200mg of thiamine hydrochloride in 50ml 0.9%NACL will be administered twice daily for 3 days.

Also known as: Thiamine, Vitamin B1
Thiamine

50ml of 0.9% NACL will serve as the placebo

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Adult ≥18 years of age

Masking Details
A randomization list will be prepared by an independent statistician using 1:1 randomization in blocks of two and four. This list will be provided to the research pharmacy, and the research pharmacy will be the only unblinded people involved with the study, and will have no patient contact or role in the analysis or other aspects of the study. Thiamine is colorless and odorless, and the 200mg dose is mixed in 5mL of normal saline. Placebo will be 50mL of normal saline and is indistinguishable in appearance from thiamine. Study team, clinical team and patient and family will all be blind to the allocation.
