About this study

Official title: Lifestyle Factors, Inflammation, and Cognition in Breast Cancer Survivors

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between nutrition, physical activity and brain function in breast cancer survivors.

Read the detailed description

The current study will examine the potential relationships between physical activity, dietary intake, body composition and cognition in breast cancer cancer survivors and age-matched women without a previous cancer diagnosis. Additionally, we will measure blood inflammatory markers to explore the relationship between lifestyle factors and inflammation.

The study involves two, 1hr appointments at Texas State University. The first visit will include cognitive testing and body composition assessment. Participants will be given an activity monitor to wear for one week and a packet of questionnaires to complete at home. At the second visit, a fasted blood sample will be collected, and participants will complete a food frequency questionnaire.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cognition

    A series of computer-based cognitive tasks will be administered via the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Physical Activity

    Physical activity will be measured by a waist-worn accelerometer

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Diet Quality

    Diet will be assessed by completion of the online-administered 2005 Block Food Frequency Questionnaire

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Body Composition (objectively measured)

    Body composition will be evaluated by BOD POD assessment

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Inflammatory Markers

    A fasted blood sample will be collected for measurement of inflammatory markers

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Cognitive Impairment, run by Texas State University, San Marcos 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 8 inclusion and 5 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 19 Jul 2016. 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?

Cognition (time frame: Baseline). 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 19 Jul 2016.
