Identifying optimal magnesium replenishment points based on risk of severe hypomagnesemia in colorectal cancer patients treated with cetuximab or panitumumab Michio Kimura1   · Eiseki Usami1 · Hitomi Teramachi2 · Tomoaki Yoshimura1 Received: 15 June 2020 / Accepted: 8 August 2020 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2020

Abstract Purpose  Cetuximab and panitumumab are monoclonal antibodies that target the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Treatment with cetuximab and panitumumab commonly causes hypomagnesemia, and optimal management of this adverse effect remains unclear. Here, we evaluated the optimal magnesium replacement points based on the risk of severe hypomagnesemia in colorectal cancer patients who received cetuximab or panitumumab. Methods  We retrospectively evaluated 184 patients who received cetuximab or panitumumab for colorectal cancer at Ogaki Municipal Hospital (Ogaki, Japan) between January 2010 and December 2019. Univariate analyses were conducted to evaluate the relationship between patient baseline characteristics and development of hypomagnesemia following cetuximab or panitumumab treatment. Variables that were significantly associated with hypomagnesemia in the univariate analyses as well as previously reported risk factors were entered into a multivariate logistic regression model. Results  The incidence of hypomagnesemia was associated with panitumumab treatment, pre-replenishment serum magnesium concentration, treatment duration, and treatment line. Severe hypomagnesemia post-cetuximab or panitumumab treatment was significantly associated with low baseline magnesium concentrations ( 44.8 × 104/mm3
