Breast Cancer Clinical Trial
Official title:
Nicotinic Treatment of Post-Chemotherapy Subjective Cognitive Impairment: A Pilot Study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a nicotine patch as a treatment for problems with attention, learning and memory in breast cancer patients who are 1-5 years post chemotherapy.
Studies have suggested that chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer may change the way the
brain functions. As a result, patients who receive chemotherapy for breast cancer may
experience problems with their attention, learning, and memory that they did not have before
receiving chemotherapy. The investigators have found that nicotine treatment can help other
types of patients with similar difficulties with attention, learning, and memory. Nicotine is
a naturally occurring substance found in tobacco and is known to interact with nerve cells in
the brain that are important for functions like learning and memory, and has been studied in
a number of disorders. This study is designed to test whether nicotine treatment is helpful
for learning and memory problems after chemotherapy for breast cancer.
This study will be a randomized, placebo-controlled pilot study to evaluate the effect of
transdermal nicotine to 1) reduce subjective complaints and 2) enhance cognitive performance
on laboratory measures of cognitive performance in breast cancer patients with persistent
chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment (CRCI), a condition also known as "chemo brain."
Participants will be randomized to either placebo or active compound (50/50) for the 6-week
treatment portion of the study. Participants will be assessed before, during, and at the end
of treatment. At the end of the 8-week study, participants will have the option to take part
in the open-label portion of the study for an additional 6 weeks.
