A Phase III Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study of Intravenous Calcium/Magnesium in Two Different Versions to Prevent Oxaliplatin-Induced Sensory Neurotoxicity
RATIONALE: Chemoprotective drugs, such as calcium gluconate and magnesium sulfate, may
prevent neurotoxicity caused by oxaliplatin. It is not yet known which administration
schedule of calcium gluconate and magnesium sulfate is more effective in preventing
neurotoxicity.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying different administration schedules of
calcium gluconate and magnesium sulfate and comparing how well they work in neurotoxicity in
patients with colon cancer or rectal cancer receiving oxaliplatin-based combination
chemotherapy.
prevent neurotoxicity caused by oxaliplatin. It is not yet known which administration
schedule of calcium gluconate and magnesium sulfate is more effective in preventing
neurotoxicity.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying different administration schedules of
calcium gluconate and magnesium sulfate and comparing how well they work in neurotoxicity in
patients with colon cancer or rectal cancer receiving oxaliplatin-based combination
chemotherapy.
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To determine whether 2 schedules of calcium gluconate and magnesium sulfate infusions
(given before and after chemotherapy or just before chemotherapy) can prevent or
ameliorate chronic, cumulative oxaliplatin-induced sensory neurotoxicity in patients
with colon or rectal cancer receiving adjuvant FOLFOX chemotherapy comprising leucovorin
calcium, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin.
Secondary
- To determine whether these 2 infusion schedules can increase the cumulative oxaliplatin
doses that can be delivered without dose-limiting chronic neurotoxicity.
- To determine whether these 2 infusion schedules can ameliorate acute neuropathy
associated with oxaliplatin.
- To determine whether these 2 infusion schedules cause adverse events.
- To investigate whether these 2 infusions schedules influence patient quality of life.
- To describe baseline and post-treatment neurological quantitative sensory testing
abnormalities in the study participants.
Tertiary
- To explore if polymorphisms in the GSTP1, GSTM1, ERCC2, and XRCC1 genes are associated
with early onset of oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to age (< 65 years vs
≥ 65 years), gender, regimen (FOLFOX4 vs modified FOLFOX6 vs other), and stage of disease (II
vs III vs IV). Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive calcium gluconate IV and magnesium sulfate IV over 30 minutes
immediately before and after oxaliplatin administration (part of FOLFOX chemotherapy
comprising leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin).
- Arm II: Patients receive placebo IV over 30 minutes immediately before and after
oxaliplatin administration (part of FOLFOX chemotherapy).
- Arm III: Patients receive calcium gluconate and magnesium sulfate IV over 30 minutes
immediately before and placebo IV over 30 minutes immediately after oxaliplatin
administration (part of FOLFOX chemotherapy).
In all arms, courses repeat every 14 days for 6 months in the absence of disease progression
or unacceptable toxicity.
Blood samples are collected before the second course of treatment for translational research.
Patients complete questionnaires on side effects, quality of life, and chemotherapy-induced
peripheral neuropathy periodically.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3, 6, 12, and 18 months.
