Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Cohort 1: To track the onset and progression of a condition called chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).

Cohort 2: To track the onset and progression of a condition called chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and to test a certain type of experimental neuromodulation (stimulation of the brain) with a device called a closed-loop brain-computer interface (clBCI) to see if can help to prevent pain due to CIPN.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary Objectives:

Objective 1 (Primary Objective): to examine preliminary baseline and serial electrophysiological markers associated with the onset and development of CIPN by tracking brain activity and CIPN symptoms throughout chemotherapy treatment.

Secondary Objectives:

Objective 2 (Secondary Objective): To preliminarily evaluate whether a clBCI program can regulate changes in EEG that are associated with CIPN while participants are undergoing chemotherapy.

Exploratory Objective: Explore whether there are associations between change in brain function and subjective report of CIPN.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cohort 1

Participants in Group 1, you will have an EEG and complete one questionnaire prior to your first dose of chemotherapy and once monthly until the end of your chemotherapy (for a maximum of 6 measurements).

Electroencephalogram (EEG)

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Measure the electrical activity of your brain before you receive chemotherapy treatment and once monthly for a maximum of 6 measurements.

Cohort 2

Participants in Group 2, you will have an EEG, and complete a questionnaire before and after your chemotherapy regimen. Participants will also have a treatment called closed-loop brain-computer interface (clBCI) training twice a week for the 2 weeks leading up to starting chemotherapy, and then twice a week during chemotherapy, for a maximum of 32 sessions, which you will be able to do at home.

Electroencephalogram (EEG)

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Measure the electrical activity of your brain before you receive chemotherapy treatment and once monthly for a maximum of 6 measurements.
