Trial Outcomes & Findings for Proton Beam Radiation Therapy in Treating Young Patients Who Have Undergone Biopsy or Surgery for Medulloblastoma or Pineoblastoma (NCT NCT00105560)

NCT ID: NCT00105560

Last Updated: 2021-12-28

Results Overview

Percentage participants who experienced ototoxicity as measured by Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0 after the completion of radiation therapy in the overall participant population and by baseline measure subgroups. Incidence is shown after follow-up of 3 years, 5 years, 7 years, and 10 years.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 1, 3, 5, 7 years

Population: The study participants that were evaluated for changes in neurocognitive outcomes

The mean change per-year in neurocognitive outcomes as assessed by Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children version 4 (WISC-IV). The test measures the Full Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ) of children with the use of four indices; the Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI), Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI), working memory test, and a processing speed test. FSIQ and the four indices are all assessed on a bell curve scale that has an average score of 100 and standard deviation of 15 points in the general population, meaning on average 68% of test takers would be within +/- 15 points of 100 and 95% within +/- 30 points. Higher scores represent higher intelligence and lower score represent reduced intelligence. Participants were assessed for changes in score with the use of repeated testing during a median follow-up time of 5.2 years. Repeated measures were taken at baseline, 1, 3, 5, and 7 years or until the participant was not available for evaluation (whichever comes first).
