Trial summary

Cancer-related cognitive dysfunction (CRCD) affects up to 75% of patients receiving chemotherapy and older adults are at greater risk of developing CRCD, which can negatively affect their functional independence and quality of life. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 65 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Be age 65 or older
  • Able to provide informed consent. All patients will be assessed using the University of California, San Diego Brief Assessment of Capacity to Consent (UBACC)56 - a score >14.5 will define ability to independently provide informed consent. For patients scoring <14.5, or if investigators have additional concerns, we will require that their health care proxy participate in the consenting process and sign an informed consent and patients will required to provide assent.
  • Able to read and understand English
  • Have a prior diagnosis of cancer and completed curative intent chemotherapy. Patients are permitted to be receiving maintenance therapy (e.g. endocrine therapy) in the adjuvant setting.
  • Have a clinical diagnosis of MCI, a score <26 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA), or a score <18 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-BLIND (MOCA-BLIND). If the patient had a MOCA evaluation completed as a part of routine clinical care in the preceding 3 months prior to consent date, this may be used for eligibility purposes.
  • Be independent in Activities of Daily Living (ADL)

Who cannot join

None listed.

About this study

Official title: Mitigating Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment in Older Adults With Cancer: Memory and Attention Adaptation Training-Geriatrics (MAAT-G) Phase I

Cancer-related cognitive dysfunction (CRCD) affects up to 75% of patients receiving chemotherapy and older adults are at greater risk of developing CRCD, which can negatively affect their functional independence and quality of life. Memory and Attention Adaptation Training-Geriatrics (MAAT-G) is a cognitive behavioral therapy-based intervention tailored specifically for older adults and the feasibility of MAAT-G in older cancer survivors with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is being evaluated.

Read the detailed description

Cancer-related cognitive dysfunction (CRCD) affects up to 75% of patients receiving chemotherapy and older adults are at greater risk of developing CRCD, which can negatively affect their functional independence and quality of life. Memory and Attention Adaptation Training-Geriatrics (MAAT-G) is a cognitive behavioral therapy-based intervention tailored specifically for older adults. MAAT-G is a series of 10 workshops delivered by a trained health profession via videoconferencing technology. The feasibility of MAAT-G in older cancer survivors with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is being evaluated.

    Also called MAAT-G

    MAAT-G is a cognitive behavioral therapy-based intervention comprised of 10 workshop sessions as well as a participant workbook. The workshop sessions are delivered one on one by a health professional via videoconferencing technology.

What is being measured

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

  1. MAAT-G Feasibility Completion Rate

    Evaluate the feasibility of MAAT-G in older cancer survivors with mild cognitive impairment by determining study completion rate of this population.

    Measured: 10 Weeks

  2. MAAT-G Intervention Adherence Rate

    Evaluate the feasibility of MAAT-G in older cancer survivors with mild cognitive impairment by determining the study intervention adherence rate of this population (proportion of MAAT-G workshops completed).

    Measured: 10 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Proportion of Patients Who Described at Least One MAAT-G Skill

    To obtain descriptive feedback on the usability of the intervention and guide further adaptation, qualitative interviews with patients and their caregivers (if available) will be conducted at completion of the intervention.

    Measured: 10 Weeks

  2. Change in Cognitive Function (Pre-Post Changes Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognition [FACT-Cog])

    Examine the pre-post change in perceived and objective cognitive function in older cancer survivors with MCI using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognition (FACT-Cog version 2): a 37 item scale assessing perceived cognitive impairment (Total score range 0-185, higher score indicates better cognitive function). Mean change from baseline score is reported.

    Measured: 10 Weeks

  3. Mean Usability

    Enhance our understanding of the usability of a telehealth CRCD intervention (including barriers and facilitators) for older cancer survivors with MCI and the perceived MAAT-G intervention effect using the System Usability Scale (SUS) (a score on a 10-item scale, with a total score ranging from 0-100; a higher score corresponds to greater usability).

    Measured: 10 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Memory and Adaptation Training-Geriatrics in people with Cognitive Dysfunction, run by Allison Magnuson 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 0 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 10 Jul 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Jul 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

MAAT-G Feasibility Completion Rate (time frame: 10 Weeks). The study lists 2 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 10 Jul 2024.
