Clinical Trial Summary

To explore the cognitive impairment caused by chemotherapy and endocrine therapy in premenopausal breast cancer patients and to find biomarkers with early predictive effect on this cognitive impairment by using multimodal integrated PET/MRI technology combined with psychobehavioral technology.

Description:

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide, and cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) has become one of the most concerning clinical problems in breast cancer treatment. This project intends to use the combination of advanced PET/MRI technology and psycho-behavioral methods to observe the cognitive impairment and the changes in brain structure, function and glucose metabolism caused by chemotherapy and endocrine therapy in premenopausal breast cancer patients, then looking for possible predictors, through early identification of patients at risk of cognitive decline after chemotherapy or endocrine therapy, to provide a scientific basis for the rational selection of breast cancer treatment plans in the future.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change of gray matter volume of whole brain	Gray matter volume will be measured with magnetic resonance imaging (high resolution T1-weighted image)	Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
Primary	Change of white matter integrity of whole brain.	Fractional anisotropy, axial diffusivity and radial diffusivity will be measured with magnetic resonance imaging (diffusion tensor imaging)	Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
Primary	Change of metabolism of glucose in the brain	Accumulation of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose(18F-FDG) will be analyzed by time-related Positron emission tomography	Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
Primary	Change of functional connectivity of whole brain	Functional connectivity will be measured with magnetic resonance imaging based on blood oxygen level dependence	Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
Primary	Change of verbal learning and memory	Verbal learning and memory scores will be assessed with Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised.The minimum value is 0, and the maximum value is 12. The higher scores mean a better outcome.	Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
Primary	Change of information processing speed	Information processing speed scores will be assessed with Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale(WAIS-III) Digit Symbol Coding score.The minimum value is 0, and the maximum value is 90. The higher scores mean a better outcome.	Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
Primary	Change of executive function	Executive function scores will be assessed with Stroop color-word test.The minimum value is 0, and the maximum value is 50. The higher scores mean a better outcome.	Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
Primary	Change of attention, verbal short term and working memory	Attention, verbal short term and working memory scores will be assessed with Digit span.The minimum value is 0, and the maximum value is 12. The higher scores mean a better outcome.	Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
Primary	Change of life quality.	Quality of life scores will be assessed with Quality-of-Life Questionnaire C30. The minimum value is 30, and the maximum value is 126. The higher scores mean a worse outcome.	Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
Primary	Change of anxiety	Anxiety scores will be assessed with Self-Rating Anxiety Scale.The minimum value is 20, and the maximum value is 80. The higher scores mean a worse outcome.	Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
Primary	Change of depression	Depression scores will be assessed with Self-rating depression scale.The minimum value is 20, and the maximum value is 80. The higher scores mean a worse outcome.	Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
Primary	Change of fatigue	Fatigue scores will be assessed with Fatigue Severity Scale. The minimum value is 9, and the maximum value is 63. The higher scores mean a worse outcome.	Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
Primary	Change of sleep	Sleep scores will be assessed with Pittsburgh sleep quality index.The minimum value is 9, and the maximum value is 36. The higher scores mean a worse outcome.	Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
