A national randomised multi-centre trial to assess the effect of oral magnesium supplementation on the kinetics of magnesium wasting induced by EGFR targeted antibody therapy for colorectal carcinoma (the MAGNET trial).
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Primary objectives: • To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of magnesium gluconate 3 g bid. given orally to modulate magnesium wasting in patients with colorectal cancer treated with EGFR targeted antibody therapy.• To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of magnesium gluconate 3 g six times per day compared to 3 g bid. given orally to modulate magnesium wasting in patients with colorectal cancer with grade 2 hypomagnesemia induced by EGFR targeted antibody therapy
Primary endpoints: After informed consent has been given, subjects meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomised to two different therapeutic approaches:
• Arm A: No intervention (part 1), until appearance hypomagnesemia grade 1, followed by magnesium gluconate 3 g bid. orally (part 2)• Arm B: Prophylactic treatment with magnesium gluconate 3 g bid orally (part 1) until appearance of hypomagnesemia grade 1, followed by magnesium gluconate 3 g 6X/day orally (part 2)The primary efficacy variables of the part 1 of the study will be:• The slope of the change in serum magnesium levels since baseline• The mean number of bowel movements per day.The secondary efficacy variables of this part of the study will be:• The mean number of missed doses• The mean grade of fatigue according to CTC version 3.0• The QoL score at two-weekly intervals recorded with the QLQ-C30 questionnaire from EORTC. • Patients will end part 1 of the study, as soon as the subjects have one serum magnesium level with grade 1 hypomagnesemia. They will then be entered in part 2.
The primary efficacy variables of part 2 of the study will be:• The slope of the change in serum magnesium levels since appearance of grade 1 hypomagnesaemia• The mean number of bowel movements per day.The secondary efficacy variables of this part of the study will be:• The mean number of missed doses • The mean grade of fatigue according to CTC version 3.0• The QOL score at two-weekly intervals recorded with the QLQ-C30 questionnaire from EORTC. •
