About this study
Official title: Magnesium Supplementation in Addition to Standard Chemo-immunotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Unresectable Stage III or Metastatic Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). A Double-blind Randomized Multicenter Phase II/III Study.
This study investigates whether adding magnesium to the standard chemo-immunotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can improve treatment outcomes. Magnesium is important for immune function, and low levels during chemotherapy are common. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either magnesium or a placebo, both as infusions and tablets. Neither the participants nor the doctors know who receives which treatment. The study compares the two groups to see if magnesium helps and how well it is tolerated.
Read the detailed description
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter phase II/III trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of intravenous and oral magnesium supplementation in addition to standard first-line chemo-immunotherapy in patients with unresectable stage III or metastatic stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Platinum-based chemotherapy frequently induces hypomagnesemia, which may impair T-cell mediated anti-tumor immunity and reduce the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors. This trial investigates whether correcting magnesium deficiency can enhance immune response and improve clinical outcomes.
The primary objective of the phase II portion is to assess the safety and feasibility of magnesium supplementation and its impact on PFS. If interim analysis confirms tolerability without significant additional toxicity, the trial will seamlessly expand into a phase III component with overall survival (OS) as the primary endpoint.
Secondary objectives include objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), health-related quality of life (HRQoL), immune-related biomarkers and magnesium levels.
Patients are randomized to receive either:
- Magnesium Arm: Standard chemo-immunotherapy + oral magnesium aspartate hydrochloride (3x/day) + intravenous magnesium sulfate on chemo days
- Placebo Arm: Standard chemo-immunotherapy + matching placebo Magnesium levels are centrally monitored via plasma and urine samples. Anti-cancer therapy follows standard of care. 230 patients will be enrolled (70 in phase II, 160 in phase III). Eligible patients have stage IIIB/IV NSCLC, ECOG 0-1, and are scheduled for first-line chemo-immunotherapy. Key exclusions include eligibility for monotherapy, severe hypomagnesemia, or ongoing magnesium supplementation for other indications.
Statistical and Quality Considerations
The adaptive design includes an interim analysis for safety and a futility analysis for OS. Time-to-event and binary outcomes will be analyzed using standard statistical methods. Quality assurance includes eCRFs with validation checks, source data verification, SOPs, and risk-based monitoring.
Although not formally a registry, the trial employs registry-like quality control elements:
- Data validation: Real-time data entry into electronic case report forms (eCRFs) with predefined logic and range checks.
- Source Data Verification (SDV): Conducted to ensure data accuracy and completeness via comparison with medical records and source documents.
- Standard Operating Procedures: SOPs are implemented, which cover all trial operations-site initiation, data collection, patient assessments, safety reporting, and amendment handling.
- Monitoring and auditing: Central and on-site monitoring according to a risk-based monitoring plan. Sites may be audited for compliance with ICH-GCP.
This trial addresses a novel and biologically plausible mechanism of resistance to immunotherapy in NSCLC. By targeting chemotherapy-induced hypomagnesemia, the study explores a low-cost, scalable intervention with the potential to enhance immune-mediated tumor control. If successful, magnesium supplementation could represent a paradigm shift in the supportive care of patients receiving chemo-immunotherapy for advanced NSCLC.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Primary endpoint of Phase II part: Progression-free survival (PFS)
PFS defined as time from randomization to progression according to RECIST 1.1 criteria or death. Patients not experiencing an event will be censored at the date of the last available assessment before initiation of a new anti-cancer treatment, if any.
Measured: From randomization to PD or death, up to 10 years
Primary endpoint of Phase III part: Overall survival (OS)
OS defined as the time from randomization until death due to any cause. Patients not experiencing an event will be censored at the last date they were known to be alive.
Measured: From randomization to PD or death, up to 10 years
Secondary outcomes (3)
Toxicity - Intermediate endpoint for the adaptive decision to expand, or not, into a Phase III
Immune related adverse events (irAEs) ≥ Grade 3 according to NCI CTCAE v5.0
Measured: All adverse events: from baseline until end of treatment, deaths: until end of follow-up, up to 10 years
Number of participants discontinued any treatment component.
Tolerability - Intermediate endpoint for the adaptive decision to expand, or not, into a Phase III. Discontinuation of any treatment component (chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy) within the first 4 cycles of treatment
Measured: from baseline until end of treatment, deaths: until end of follow-up, up to 10 years
Event-free survival (EFS)
EFS is defined as time from registration to one of the following events, whichever occurs first:
- Relapse or progression according to RECIST 1.1 criteria
- Second tumor
- Death due to any cause Patients not experiencing an event will be censored at the date of the last available assessment before initiation of a new anti-cancer treatment, if any.
Measured: From randomization to PD, 2nd tumor or death, up to 10 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing Magnesiocard, Magnesium Diasporal and Microcrystalline cellulose in people with Metastatic NSCLC - Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Swiss Cancer Institute at 9 sites in Switzerland.
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 23 inclusion and 20 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 9 sites in Switzerland. 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 combined phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Gisela Müller, PhD (+41 31 389 91 91, trials@swisscancerinstitute.ch), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Primary endpoint of Phase II part: Progression-free survival (PFS) (time frame: From randomization to PD or death, up to 10 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Oct 2026.
