  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to the start of treatment. Also,women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. The investigator is requested to advise the patient how to achieve an adequate contraception.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have received oxaliplatin previously
  • Patients with known peripheral neuropathy ≥ grade 2 according to the WHO scale
  • Patients who have tested positive for HIV
  • Patients with other significant medical, psychiatric disorders tha, in the opinion of the investigator, will exclude the patient from the study for compliance of safety reasons.
  • Patients who cannot swallow
  • History of known allergy to oxaliplatin or other platinum compounds,to 5-FU, to LV, or to any ingredients in the formulations or the containers

  • Patient with concomitant treatment with drugs/ingredients reported to have a potential activity to prevent peripheral sensory neuropathy (PSN)
  • Patients who haven't successfully completed local therapy for previously treated CNS metastases \& who haven't been discontinued with corticosteroid for >4kws before starting chemotherapy. Patients with asymptomatic brain mets who have no evidence of midline shift on CT/MRI may be enrolled without initiation of local therapy for the CNS mets. Repeat scan must be performed < 4wks to ensure no progression.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • (supplement) Calcium and MagnesiumOther

    Also called oxaliplatin= eloxatin, Capecitabine=Xeloda

    FOLFOX 6: Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin®): 100mg/m2 x 2hrs IV with 250ml of dextrose 5%; leucovorin 200mg/m2 with oxaliplatin; then IV bolus of 5FU 400mg/m2 and 5FU 2400mg/m2 in a 46 hr continuous IV. Each cycle is 14 days, approximately 8-12 cycles planned.

    XELOX: Oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 x 2hrs IV in 250ml of dextrose 5% on day 1; plus oral capecitabine 1000mg/m2 bid on days 1-15 3 wk cycles.

    Ca2+/Mg2: Ca++gluconate 1gr \& Mg++sulfate 1g given IV pre \& post cycle 1 (Arm A) or cycle 2 (Arm B)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing (supplement) Calcium and Magnesium in people with Neoplasms, Colorectal and Colorectal Cancer, run by AHS Cancer Control Alberta at 1 site in Canada.

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 9 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Michael Sawyer, MD (780-432-8248, Michael.Sawyer@albertahealthservices.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary objective of this study is to determine potential pharmacokinetic interactions between oxaliplatin and calcium and magnesium. (time frame: Post cycle 2 and 3). 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 1 Oct 2014.
