About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of the Effects of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Inhibitors on Magnesium Homeostasis

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and urine in the laboratory from patients with cancer receiving epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors may help doctors understand the effect of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors on magnesium levels in the body.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at the effect of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors on magnesium homeostasis in patients with cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the effects of EGFR inhibitors on magnesium homeostasis in patients with cancer.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot study.

Patients undergo blood and urine sample collection at baseline and at 2, 4, and 8 weeks during treatment.

After finishing treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 10 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Solid Tumor, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: slow accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effects of EGFR inhibitors on magnesium homeostasis (time frame: 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jan 2013.
