Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Magnesium oxide may help relieve hot flashes in women with cancer.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well magnesium oxide works in treating hot flashes in menopausal women with cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* To determine if magnesium oxide supplement will decrease the frequency and severity of hot flashes by 50% in menopausal women with cancer.

Secondary

* To evaluate the effect of magnesium oxide on overall quality of life.
* To evaluate the toxicities of magnesium oxide when administered at commonly used supplement doses.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral magnesium oxide once daily in weeks 2-5. Patients whose hot flashes are not satisfactorily controlled after 2 weeks of treatment may receive magnesium oxide twice daily in weeks 4 and 5.

Patients complete a daily hot flash diary for 5 weeks beginning 1 week before treatment. Patients also complete quality-of-life, symptom, and self-assessment questionnaires at baseline, once weekly during treatment, and at the completion of treatment.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for at least 30 days.
