Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of cancer treatment on the brain. Some cancer patients report changes in their memory or thinking after treatment. These changes could be a result of changes in brain structure, such as a change in size or thickness of different parts of the brain. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of cancer treatment on the brain. Some cancer patients report changes in their memory or thinking after treatment. These changes could be a result of changes in brain structure, such as a change in size or thickness of different parts of the brain. The investigators will look to see if these changes in brain structure happen through the results of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The investigators will do this by looking at the brain structure of lung cancer patients who have surgery and chemotherapy versus those who have surgery only.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. longitudinal structural changes in the brain

    Using MRI in patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer in either the induction chemotherapy exposed or surgery-only group in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex or bilateral hippocampus

    Measured: 1 month following completion of a 6 month course of induction chemotherapy or 7 months following surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. longitudinal structural changes in the brain

    Using MRI in patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer in the induction chemotherapy exposed group in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex or bilateral hippocampus.

    Measured: 1 month following completion of a 6 month course of induction chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of Accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

longitudinal structural changes in the brain (time frame: 1 month following completion of a 6 month course of induction chemotherapy or 7 months following surgery). 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 16 Jan 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
