简要总结
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well avoiding the hippocampus during whole-brain radiation therapy works in treating patients with brain metastases.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Evaluate delayed recall as assessed by the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R) at 4 months after hippocampal avoidance during whole-brain radiotherapy (HA-WBRT) in patients with brain metastasis.
Secondary
- Evaluate auditory and visual learning and memory, as assessed by two CogState tests (International Shopping List Test and One Card Learning Test), after HA-WBRT in these patients.
- Compare psychometric properties of the 2 CogState tests to the HVLT-R for the assessment of memory decline after HA-WBRT in these patients.
- Evaluate health-related quality of life [as assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy with Brain Subscale (FACT-BR) and the Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)] after HA-WBRT in these patients.
- Evaluate time to radiographic progression after HA-WBRT in these patients.
- Evaluate overall survival of these patients after HA-WBR.
- Evaluate the adverse events of HA-WBR.
- Evaluate predictive biomarkers of cognitive function.

结局指标
主要结局
Percent Change in Delayed Recall at 4 Months as Measured by the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R)
时间窗: Baseline and 4 months from start of treatment
Change in Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised delayed recall (HVLT_R DR) score from baseline to 4 months after the start of treatment calculated as (baseline score - 4 month score)/ baseline score. A positive change indicates a decline in function. The HVLT-R assesses verbal learning and memory. It incorporates 6 different forms, helping to mitigate practice effects of repeated administrations. Each form includes 12 nouns (targets) with 4 words drawn from 3 semantic categories, which differ across the 6 forms. Delayed recall involves recalling a list of 12 targets after a 20-minute delay. The score is the sum of the number of targets correctly recalled. Percent change calculated as 100\*\[(baseline score - 4 month score)/ baseline score\]
次要结局
- Quality of Life as Measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Brain (FACT-Br)(Baseline and 4 months from start of treatment)
- ApoE4 Genotype and Other Potentially Predictive Biomarkers of Cognitive Function(Baseline and 4 months from start of treatment)

- Percent Change at 4 Months in Auditory Learning Measured by Cogstate's International Shopping List Test (ISLT)(Baseline and 4 months from start of treatment)
- Progression-free Survival(Analysis occurs after all patients have been on study for at least 4 months. (Patients are followed from registration to death or study termination whichever occurs first.))
- Quality of Life as Measured by the Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living (ADL)(Baseline and 4 months from start of treatment)
- Overall Survival(Analysis occurs after all patients have been on study for at least 4 months. (Patients are followed from registration to death or study termination whichever occurs first.))
- The Frequency of Patients With Grade 3 and Higher Adverse Events (AE) Related to Treatment(From start of treatment to 12 months from start of treatment)
