Study population: A total of 465 breast and colorectal cancer patients will be recruited for this study. Breast and colorectal cancer survivors. The eligibility checklist is a self-report questionnaire. Participants will be asked to self-identify that they are 21 years of age or older, had been diagnosed with breast or colorectal cancer excluding Stage IV (those without distant metastasis) and have completed treatment (adjuvant or neo-adjuvant) at least 6 months prior to completing the survey. In addition, as part of the eligibility checklist, participants will need to self-rate that they have cognitive concerns (select yes).

  • ≥6 months post-adjuvant therapy and neo-adjuvant therapy for early stage (Stage I-IIIA) breast cancer.
  • Current Aromatase Inhibitors or Tamoxifen treatment at time of enrollment is allowed.
  • Identify cognitive concerns (select yes)

About this study

This descriptive, cross-sectional study will evaulate and fully characterize factors associated with cognitive dysfunction in Breast Cancer (BCS) and Colorectal Cancer (CRC) survivors that have cognitive concerns, and factors associated with psychoneurological symptom cluster in BCS and CRC survivors.

Read the detailed description

Primary Aim: To identify demographic factors (age and education), medical and cancer treatment-related factors (comorbidities and treatment type), psychosocial factors (perceived stress, affect, optimism, coping, emotional support), cancer-related symptoms (pain, depression, anxiety, fatigue and sleep disturbance), and genetic factors (APOE, COMT, BDNF) associated with the level of subjective or the level of objective cognitive dysfunction in breast cancer and colorectal cancer survivors.

Secondary Aim: To identify demographic factors (age and education), medical and cancer treatment-related factors (comorbidities and treatment type), psychosocial factors (perceived stress, affect, optimism, coping, emotional support), and genetic factors (APOE, COMT, BDNF) associated with psychoneurological symptom cluster using either subjective or objective cognitive dysfunction in breast cancer and colorectal cancer survivors.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Survivorship and Cognitive Dysfunction, run by Indiana University 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 11 inclusion and 2 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 22 Feb 2023. 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?

Subjective Cognitive Dysfunction (time frame: greater than or equal to 6 months post cancer treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04611620, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 22 Feb 2023.
