REaCT-Mg	Magnesium replacement strategies for patients receiving palliative-intent treatment with Cisplatin, Carboplatin, Panitumumab or Cetuximab  Principal Investigator(s): Dr. Michael Vickers
ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02690012
Hypomagnesemia is a common consequence of many anti-cancer therapies. However optimal replacement strategies are unknown. The trial assessed the feasibility of comparing the benefits of treating hypomagnesemia to magnesium oxide or magnesium citrate in patients receiving palliative treatment with cisplatin, carboplatin, Panitumumab or Cetuximab. This study has been completed.
