What to expect

No one can promise a trial will help you personally — that is what the research is trying to find out.

What participation involves

  • Time periods mentioned: 5 years
  • Procedures mentioned: Questionnaires, MRI scans

Only what the study's summary and detailed description on ClinicalTrials.gov say. Time periods may describe the whole study or a part of it — ask the study team what applies to you.

Show the study's own words
  • "Assess patients' quality-of-life after WBRT for hematologic malignancies, based on a validated questionnaire."
  • "Explore magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes in the brain after WBRT for hematologic malignancies, based on standard-of-care imaging studies."
  • "OUTLINE: Patients undergo neurocognitive function assessments, complete questionnaires over 8-10 minutes and undergo standard of care MRI at baseline (within 4 weeks before the first day of WBRT), 2, 6, 12 months after RT completion, then annually for 5 years."
Compensation
Not stated
  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

This study assesses neurocognitive outcomes after receiving radiation therapy to the brain (whole brain radiation therapy) in patients with blood cancers (hematologic malignancies). This may help researchers learn more about the effects of whole brain radiation therapy on memory and thinking in patients with blood cancer.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Official eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years or older * Treatment with radiation therapy to the brain for a hematologic malignancy (ex. primary central nervous system lymphoma \[PCNSL\], secondary central nervous system lymphoma \[SCNSL\], leukemia, myeloma) * Proficient and capable of completing tests in English * Patients with claustrophobia are eligible if the claustrophobia is managed with medication * Patients with cognitively-impairment are eligible if the impairment is managed with medication * Patients who are pregnant
