About this study

Official title: Chemotherapy-related Cognitive Impairment in Adults With Acute Leukemia

This is an ancillary study of an intervention study (NCT04570709). The parent study is a single institution, feasibility trial of 20 (10 control and 10 intervention) patients with the primary objective of assessing feasibility, acceptability, and change in pre and post measures of symptoms, function, and quality of life by administering the Palliative and Collaborative Care InTervention (PACT). We will further assess cognitive function in the patients who participate in the control of the parent study.

Read the detailed description

The study objective is to observe patient-reported and researcher-assessed cognitive function in adults with acute myeloid leukemia with chemotherapy treatment. We will assess cognitive function using a battery of neuropsychological assessments, patient-reported questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews among participants in control group only. The group assignment will be conducted through parent study (NCT04570709). Participating in this study will not affect participants' group assignment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cognitive function as assessed by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Cognitive Function

    The questionnaire consists of 4 domains, including perceived cognitive impairments, comments from others, perceived cognitive abilities, and impact of quality of life. The higher the score, the better the cognitive function.

    Measured: at the second cycle of treatment (about day 30)

  2. Processing speed and executive function as assessed by Trial Making Test

    Include both trails A and B.

    Measured: at the second cycle of treatment (about day 30)

  3. Memory and verbal learning as assessed by Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-revised (HVLT-R)

    Include total recall and delayed recall.

    Measured: at the second cycle of treatment (about day 30)

  4. Speeded lexical fluency as assessed by Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) letter fluency

    Include three initial alphabet letter for each assessment.

    Measured: at the second cycle of treatment (about day 30)

  5. Attention and working memory as assessed by Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)-digit span

    Include forward and backward assessment.

    Measured: at the second cycle of treatment (about day 30)

  6. Cognitive effort as assessed by Borg CR 10

    Range from 0-10, maximum. The higher the score, the much the cognitive effort.

    Measured: at the second cycle of treatment (about day 30)

Secondary outcomes (6)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive 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 8 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 6 May 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?

Cognitive function as assessed by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Cognitive Function (time frame: at the second cycle of treatment (about day 30)). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 May 2023.
