Calcium Gluconate and Magnesium Sulfate in Preventing Neurotoxicity in Patients With Colon Cancer or Rectal Cancer Receiving Oxaliplatin-Based Combination Chemotherapy

Objectives: This placebo-controlled, randomized, phase III trial is comparing two different infusion schedules for administering calcium gluconate and magnesium sulfate with FOLFOX chemotherapy to determine which is more effective in reducing neurotoxicity in patients receiving the oxaliplatin-based regimen for colon cancer or rectal cancer.

Key entry or exclusion criteria: Patient must have undergone curative resection and is considered to have stage II or III disease or completely resected stage IV disease with no evidence of residual tumor.

Locations: 396 sites .

Goal: 354 patients.

Study sponsor: North Central Cancer Treatment Group in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute.
