About this study

Official title: The Effects of Ganglioside-Monosialic Acid in Post-chemotherapy Cognitive Impairment in Patients With Early Operable Breast Cancer: A Randomized Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prophylactic effects of Ganglioside-Monosialic Acid in post-chemotherapy cognitive impairment in patients with early operable breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, single-blind, phase III clinical trial. The primary endpoint is the changes of cognitive function from baseline to 4 weeks after the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy in the experimental group and the control group, which were evaluated by HVLT-R scale. This study is designed to recruit up to 306 subjects.

Being tested
Ganglioside-Monosialic Acid, 250ml normal saline (NS)
Keywords
Ganglioside-Monosialic Acid, post-chemotherapy cognitive impairment, breast cancer
Medical subject headings

    Standard (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy (Taxanes combined with cyclophosphamide or doxorubicin combined with cyclophosphamide followed by taxanes) plus Ganglioside-Monosialic Acid 100mg+250ml normal saline (NS)

  • 250ml normal saline (NS)Drug

    Also called placebo

    Standard (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy (Taxanes combined with cyclophosphamide or doxorubicin combined with cyclophosphamide followed by taxanes) plus 250ml normal saline (NS)

What is being measured

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

  1. HVLT R-DR

    The change of score for Hopkins verbal learning test -revised,delayed recall,from baseline to 4 weeks after the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy.

    Measured: 4 weeks after the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. HVLT R-DR

    The change of score for Hopkins verbal learning test -revised,delayed recall,from baseline to 12 weeks,24 weeks and 36 weeks after the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy.

    Measured: 36 weeks after the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy

  2. ADAS-Cog

    The change of score for Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive,from baseline to 12 weeks,24 weeks and 36 weeks after the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy.

    Measured: 36 weeks after the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ganglioside-Monosialic Acid and 250ml normal saline (NS) in people with Chemotherapy-Related Cognitive Impairment and Breast Cancer, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 9 inclusion and 7 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 1 Aug 2024. 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 China. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Difficulty accruing subjects the study accrual was closed). 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?

HVLT R-DR (time frame: 4 weeks after the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy). 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 1 Aug 2024.
