Trial Outcomes & Findings for Hippocampal Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation for Small Cell Lung Cancer (NCT NCT01797159)

NCT ID: NCT01797159

Last Updated: 2021-10-18

Results Overview

The primary endpoint of this study is cognitive function or memory. Memory is measured by participant performance on the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised for delayed recall (HVLT-R-Delayed Recall) at 6 months following hippocampal-sparing PCI. The HVLT-Delayed minimum and Maximum scores are 0-12. A higher score means a better outcome.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 months and 12 months post radiation treatment

Population: At the 6 month timepoint, only 17 participants completed the test, and at the 12 month time point only 14 participants took the test.

Population: Data is presented for Hippocampal-sparing PCI (from this study). No data from standard PCI for comparison to be done.

Evaluate quality of life following hippocampal-sparing PCI relative to historical control receiving standard PCI. Difference between 6 months and baseline. Questions on the Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) assessment are on a four-point scale from "not at all" to "very much". Raw scores are linearly converted to a 0-100 scale with higher scores reflecting higher levels of function and higher levels of symptom burden. Questions on the QLQ-C30 cover the following: * Dyspnoea * Insomnia * Appetite * Constipation * Diarrhoea * Finances * Fatigue * Nausea/Vomiting * Pain * Physical Function * Role Function * Emotional Function * Cognitive Function * Social Function * Global QoL

Evaluate quality of life following hippocampal-sparing PCI relative to historical control receiving standard PCI. Difference between 6 months and baseline. Questions on the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Brain Cancer (QLQ-BN20) are rated on a four-point scale ('not at all', 'a little', 'quite a bit' and 'very much'), and are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale. Higher scores represent more severe symptoms. Questions on the QLQ-BN20 cover the following: * Headaches * Seizures * Drowsy * Hair loss * Itching * Weakness * Bladder * Future Uncertainty * Visual Disorder * Motor Dysfunction * Communication Deficit
