The study medication will be provided at each investigational site. Upon randomisation of part 1, patients will either receive no medication or 28 sachets of magnesium gluconate 3g every two weeks. Stratification for combination therapy with oxaliplatin will be performed. In part 2, patients will be provided with 28 or 84 sachets of magnesium gluconate 3 every two weeks. If anti-EGFR treatment has to be postponed, for any reason, patients will be asked to continue their study drug at the same dosage. |
