Cognitive Function After Treatment of Primary CNS Malignancy

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate cognitive function and to determine neurocognitive assessment using a select CogState test battery in patients with primary intracranial malignancies receiving photon- or proton-based cranial irradiation with curative intent.

 

 

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥ 4 years.
  • Able to use computer for assessment battery.
  • Receiving cranial photon- or proton-based radiation for primary central nervous system malignancy.
  • Histological or radiologic confirmation of intracranial disease.
  • ECOG Performance Status (PS) 0-2, Karnofsky PS 60-100, or Lansky/Play PS for Children 60-100.
  • Ability to complete clinical quality of life questionnaire(s) by themselves or with assistance.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with WHO Grade IV astrocytoma or glioblastoma tumors.
    • Note: A patient with Grade IV tumors of other histology can participate in the study if they meet all other criteria.
    • Note: Diffuse Astrocytomas with molecular  features of glioblastoma are acceptable on study
  • Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection,  symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Any prior intracranial radiation.
  • Patients receiving Gamma Knife radiosurgery.
