Longitudinal Prospective Study of Neurocognition & Neuroimaging in Primary BT Patients

Longitudinal Prospective Study of Neurocognitive Outcomes and Multimodal Quantitative Neuroimaging Outcomes in Primary Brain Tumor Patients Receiving Brain Radiotherapy


Sponsor

Enrollment

250 participants

Start Date

Jan 1, 2015

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

In this proposal, the investigators introduce a novel, translational study to prospectively examine primary brain tumor patients undergoing fractionated radiation therapy to the brain. Quantitative neuroimaging, radiation dose information, and directed neurocognitive testing will be acquired through this study to improve understanding of cognitive changes associated with radiation dosage to non-targeted tissue, and will provide the basis for evidence-based cognitive- sparing brain radiotherapy.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is tracking changes in memory, thinking, and brain structure over time in people with primary brain tumors who are receiving radiation therapy. Researchers want to understand how radiation affects the brain and identify early warning signs of cognitive decline. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have a primary brain tumor and are about to receive partial-brain radiation therapy - You have a life expectancy of at least 1 year - You are well enough to complete cognitive (thinking and memory) tests (Karnofsky score of 70 or higher) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You cannot undergo an MRI with contrast dye - You have had prior radiation to the brain Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
