Abstract
Hypomagnesemia commonly occurs as a side effect of panitumumab treatment. In severe cases, temporary discontinuation or dose reduction of panitumumab may be necessary. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are reportedly potential risk factors for hypomagnesemia. We conducted a multicenter study to assess the impact of PPIs on the risk of grade 3-4 hypomagnesemia in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) receiving panitumumab. We adjusted for potential bias using a propensity score-matched analysis and retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients. Hypomagnesemia severity was graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0. A total of 165 patients were enrolled in this study. The incidence of grade 3-4 hypomagnesemia was significantly higher in the PPI group than in the non-PPI group, both before (20.0% [30/60] vs. 8.0% [8/105], p = 0.026) and after propensity score matching (16.2% [6/37] vs. 0% [0/37], p = 0.025). In the propensity score-matched cohort, the risk of grade 3-4 hypomagnesemia was significantly higher in the PPI group (odds ratio, 2.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.69-2.84; p = 0.025). These findings suggest that concomitant use of PPIs significantly increases the risk of grade 3-4 hypomagnesemia in patients with mCRC receiving panitumumab. Therefore, close monitoring of these patients is imperative.
