Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Identify the nature and long-term ramifications of CNS injury as a result of cancer treatment in patients with colon cancer.

Secondary

  • Analyze differences in cognitive measures and MRI data in these patients.
  • Correlate MRI measures with cognitive performance in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo cognitive performance assessment and MRI.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 42 patients will be accrued for this study.

Being tested
cognitive assessment, magnetic resonance imaging, management of therapy complications
Keywords
cognitive/functional effects, long-term effects secondary to cancer therapy in adults, recurrent colon cancer, stage I colon cancer, stage II colon cancer, stage III colon cancer, stage IV colon cancer
Medical subject headings

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cognitive/Functional Effects and Colorectal Cancer, run by University of Arizona at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jul 2018. 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?

Nature and long-term ramifications of CNS injury as a result of cancer treatment. 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 Jul 2018.
