Assessment of Brain Cognitive Impairment in Breast Cancer

Study Purpose

To explore the cognitive impairment caused by chemotherapy and endocrine therapy in premenopausal breast cancer patients and to find biomarkers with early predictive effect on this cognitive impairment by using multimodal integrated PET/MRI technology combined with psychobehavioral technology.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Yes
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

  • - Sign the informed consent and voluntarily participate in this clinical observation.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Central nervous system (CNS) disease, history of malignancy, chronic loss of consciousness, head trauma, and any disease affecting cognitive function.
  • - Current or former epilepsy, dementia, or learning disabilities.
  • - Past psychiatric history.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05305092
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide, and cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) has become one of the most concerning clinical problems in breast cancer treatment. This project intends to use the combination of advanced PET/MRI technology and psycho-behavioral methods to observe the cognitive impairment and the changes in brain structure, function and glucose metabolism caused by chemotherapy and endocrine therapy in premenopausal breast cancer patients, then looking for possible predictors, through early identification of patients at risk of cognitive decline after chemotherapy or endocrine therapy, to provide a scientific basis for the rational selection of breast cancer treatment plans in the future.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

: chemotherapy

Premenopausal breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy (including preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy) and endocrine therapy after surgery

: Endocrine therapy

Premenopausal breast cancer patients receiving endocrine therapy alone after surgery

: Healthy control

Healthy non-cancer controls

Interventions

Device: - PET/MRI, psychobehavioral tests and questionnaires, serum biomarkers and stool sample

Neuroimaging data were collected by integrated PET/MRI machine, and collected the psychobehavioral data, the serum and stool samples of participants.
