About this study

Cancer is a frequent disease considering that one person out of three will be confronted with it in their lifetime. Cancer patients often express complaints related to cognitive impairment as an outcome of their oncological treatment. These cognitive disorders have a significant impact on the patient's and their carer's quality of life. Therefore, it appears necessary to have a reliable, quick and simple tool in order to detect cognitive impairment.

The rationale of this study relies on 3 main points :

Read more
  • The cognitive complaint frequently reported by cancer patients
  • The difficulty in reliably demonstrating the cause of this complaint through conventional neuropsychological tests
  • The interest of cognitive processing speed as an indicator of cognitive dysfunction

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate a potential variation of cognitive processing speed at the Saint-Louis Lille Battery (SSLIB) between the beginning and during (4 months after the beginning) the oncological treatment of adults with breast cancer or colon cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients for which there is a variation of reaction time between the beginning and during the oncological treatment at M4

    The variation will be defined as follows :

    • Mild if the reaction times vary for only one of the Saint-Louis Lille Battery (SLLIB) tests
    • Moderate if the variation appears on two of the SLLIB tests
    • Severe if the variation appears on three of the SLLIB tests

    Measured: At 4 months

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Proportion of patients for which there is a variation of reaction time between the beginning and after the end of the oncological treatment (M12)

    The variation will be defined as follows :

    • Mild if the reaction times vary for only one of the Saint-Louis Lille Battery (SLLIB) tests
    • Moderate if the variation appears on two of the SLLIB tests
    • Severe if the variation appears on three of the SLLIB tests

    Measured: At 12 months

  2. Proportion of patients for which there is a variation of reaction time between M4 and M12

    The variation will be defined as follows :

    • Mild if the reaction times vary for only one of the Saint-Louis Lille Battery (SLLIB) tests
    • Moderate if the variation appears on two of the SLLIB tests
    • Severe if the variation appears on three of the SLLIB tests

    Measured: At 12 months

  3. Anxiety and depression levels

    Anxiety and depression levels will be assessed using the Hamilton Anxiety Depression scale : The HAD scale is a self-assessment scale for detecting states of depression and anxiety in the setting of an hospital medical outpatient clinic.

    HADS is a self-administered scale of 14 items which assessed levels of depression and anxiety, divided into 2 subscales of 7 items (Anxiety or HADS-A, Depression or HADS-D). Each item is scored on a scale of 0 to 3. A score is generated for each of the two sub-scales (sum of the 7 items, ranging from 0 to 21). Limit scores, for each of the scores, distinguish: non-cases or asymptomatic ones (score ≤ 7); probable or borderline cases (score 8-10); clearly or clinically symptomatic cases (score ≥ 11).

    Measured: At inclusion

  6. Cognitive complaint

    Cognitive complaint will be assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Cognitive Function (FACT-Cog) questionnaire v3.

    It is made up 37 items divided in four subscales: perceived cognitive impairments (PCI); perceived cognitive abilities ; impact of perceived cognitive impairment on Quality Of Life; and comments from others on cognitive function. It ranges from 0 to 148. The higher the score, the better the cognitive function.

  9. Quality of life assessed with the QLQ-C30 questionnaire

    Quality of life evaluated using questionnaire "European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire" (EORTC QLQ-C30- v3). The QLQ-C30 is composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures. These include five functional scales, three symptom scales, a global health status / QoL scale, and six single items. Each of the multi-item scales includes a different set of items - no item occurs in more than one scale. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. A high scale score represents a higher response level. A high score for a functional scale represents a high/healthy level of functioning. A high score for the global health status/ QoL represents a high QoL and a high score for a symptom scale/item represents a high level of symptomatology/problems.

    Measured: At inclusion

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Catherine Belin, Dr (+33171207466, catherine.belin@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of patients for which there is a variation of reaction time between the beginning and during the oncological treatment at M4 (time frame: At 4 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 Mar 2023.
