The Patients' Experience After Stem Cell Transplant

Stem Cell Transplant Complications Clinical Trial

Official title: Measuring Cognition, Physical Function, and Quality of Life After Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Adults >/= 60 Years: A Feasibility Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will examine how adults ≥ 60 years old thinking and memory abilities are affected by stem cell transplant; whether these changes affect day-to-day activities and quality of life and how thinking and memory abilities are affected by genetics, depression, anxiety and physical function. Genetics and other factors may affect the brain's chemicals or structure, and may increase risk for negative effects on thinking and memory.

Clinical Trial Description

In this study, the investigators are looking to understand: 1) how adults ≥ 60 years old thinking and memory abilities are affected by stem cell transplant; 2) whether these changes affect day-to-day activities and quality of life; and 3) how thinking and memory abilities are affected by genetics, depression, anxiety and physical function. Genetics and other factors may affect the brain's chemicals or structure, and may increase risk for negative effects on thinking and memory. Participants will undergo neurocognitive testing along with the collection of a saliva sample and completing a battery of questionnaires and assessments. ;
