About this study

Official title: Changes in Resting State Functional Connectivity in Patients With Central Nervous System Lymphoma Receiving High Dose Chemotherapy and Autologous Stem Cell Transplant

The purpose of this study is to test resting state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rsfMRI) scans to see if rsfMRI scans are better than the standard task based fMRI scans at diagnosing or monitoring central nervous system lymphoma.

Being tested
Resting State fMRI (rsfMRI), Auditory Attention and Executive Functions Test, Memory Test, Motor Speed Test, Self Reported Quality of Life Questionnaire
Keywords
resting state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, rsfMRI, 17-403

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Resting State fMRI (rsfMRI)Diagnostic test

    rsfMRI before receiving High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation/HDC-ASCT (pre-HDC-ASCT), at approximately 3 months (+/- 2 weeks) after HDC-ASCT (early post-HDC-ASCT) and approximately 6months (+/- 2 weeks) after HDC-ASCT (late post-HDC-ASCT).

  • Auditory Attention and Executive Functions TestOther

    • Trail Making Test (Parts A \& B): Part A is a timed test of visual scanning and graphomotor speed; AT: 3 minutes. Part B is a timed measure of set-shifting; Administration Time (AT): 5 minutes. Test-retest reliabilities=0.64-0.94.
    • Brief Test of Attention-BTA assesses auditory working memory; AT: 10 minutes. Test-re-test reliability=0.70.
    • Controlled Oral Word Association Test-COWAT is a timed measure of phonemic verbal fluency. It requires the subject to generate as many words as possible, beginning with a given letter of the alphabet (i.e., F, A, and S). The subject is allowed 60 seconds per letter, and the resultant score is the total number of words produced. Test-retest reliability=0.88. AT: 5 minutes.
  • Memory TestOther

    The Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R): The HVLT-R is a test of verbal learning and memory.

  • Motor Speed TestOther

    Grooved Pegboard Test (GPT)-Dominant Hand and Non-Dominant Hand. It is a timed test of manual dexterity, in which the time to completion is scored separately for each hand.

  • Self Reported Quality of Life QuestionnaireOther

    The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Brain Cancer (FACT-BR Version 4) consists of 46 questions with five domains assessing physical well-being, social/family well-being, emotional well-being, functional well being, additional concerns. The neuropsychological and QOL assessments will be performed by a neuropsychologist or by a trained RSA under the neuropsychologist's direct supervision.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Central Nervous System Lymphoma, 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 5 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 2022. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change in resting state brain networks over time in participants with central nervous system lymphoma before and after treatment with high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation through resting state fMRI results (time frame: 6 months). 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 8 Aug 2022.
