      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Other design features: Since patient safety is the priority of this research, after the number of patients reaches 28, an interim analysis will be performed and a decision will be made regarding the continuation of the study, Randomization description: For randomization, the Balance Blocked Randomization method will be used Stata software. Random allocation will be done using blocks of sizes 6 and 8. The total sample size will be estimated as 260 patients. In this way, random samples will be determined using the ralloc module (Random allocation of treatments in controlled trials) in Stata software, Blinding description: Regarding the preparation of placebo:
Injectable form: the treatment group will receive daily vitamin C in 5% dextrose and the control group will receive an equivalent volume of distilled water in 5% dextrose instead of vitamin C. Due to the blinding of the nursing staff, the preparation of the above solutions will be done by the pharmacist, who is not involved in the research but has the randomization list, in the clean room of the pharmacy of Shariati Hospital.
Oral form: It is in the form of effervescent tablets of 500 mg, which drug and placebo with a completely similar appearance are prepared by a pharmaceutical company.
The randomization sequence is prepared by a statistician who has no connection with the patients. The researchers and participants will be unaware of the study sequence. After confirming the entry of a new patient into the study and registering the patient's code, the coordinator who is stationed at the patient registration site places the patient in the treatment groups based on the specified randomization sequence.</study_design>

    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Cumulative incidence and severity of acute GVHD. Timepoint: 0 - 100 days after HSCT. Method of measurement: Patients will be monitored for acute GVHD at least daily until discharge and then at each outpatient visit until day 100+. The nature and extent of skin involvement will be determined by examination. Staging will be also based on the extent and type of skin involvement. Gastrointestinal GVHD requires 24-hour stool volume for staging. In addition, a history will be taken to document the presence or absence of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Patients will also be examined for the presence of ileus. The staging of liver involvement is also determined by the increase in total serum bilirubin. The grade of acute GVHD used to evaluate treatment will be the highest grade developed during the entire evaluation period.</prim_outcome>
