Brain Function in Children Previously Treated on Clinical Trials POG-9605 and POG-9201

Completed

• Conditions: Long-term Effects Secondary to Cancer Therapy in Children; Neurotoxicity

• Registration Number: NCT00028509
• Lead Sponsor: Children's Oncology Group

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Assessing the effects of methotrexate on brain function in children may improve the ability to plan treatment and decrease side effects.

PURPOSE: Clinical trial to compare brain function of children who have been previously treated with methotrexate.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Compare the incidence of neuropsychological abnormalities and leukoencephalopathy in children previously treated with methotrexate on protocols POG-9605 versus POG-9201.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

More than 3 years after completion of therapy, patients undergo 9 different tests to assess intelligence, memory, learning, attention, concentration, processing of information, functioning, and visual-motor integration. Patients also undergo MRI of the head.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30-54 patients previously treated on protocol POG-9201 will be accrued for this study. A total of 60-108 patients previously treated on protocol POG-9605 will be accrued for this study.
