C-SMART vs BE Well для пациентов с опухолями головного мозга

21 сентября 2026 г. обновлено: Virginia Commonwealth University

Фаза II рандомизированного контролируемого исследования C-SMART в сравнении с BE Well для пациентов с опухолями головного мозга по нейрокогнитивным и нейровизуализационным исходам

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the acceptability and feasibility of Cognitive Strategies, Mindfulness, and Rehabilitation Therapy (C-SMART) and Brain health Education and Wellness (BE Well) in adults with brain tumors and their caregivers.

Participants will be assigned to one of the two groups:

  • Cognitive Strategies, Mindfulness, and Rehabilitation Therapy (C-SMART) is a recently developed virtual intervention combining both cognitive rehabilitation with mindfulness meditation training. The manualized program consists of 8 weekly 1:1 tele intervention sessions, targeting cognitive weaknesses identified from baseline cognitive testing.
  • Brain health Education and Wellness (BE Well) intervention consists of 8 weekly videos focused on maximizing brain health in the context of brain tumor.

Participants will also be asked to:

  • participate in two in-person visits involving an MRI (if eligible for research MRIs) and neurocognitive tests
  • complete a survey the the beginning and end of the study
  • if in BE Well group, answer a few questions after watching each video

Patient Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient of Virginia Commonwealth University Neuro-Oncology clinic
  • Confirmed primary brain tumor diagnosis by histology or neuro-oncologist review of imaging
  • At least one domain of neurocognitive function >1.5 SD below the average or the individual's estimated premorbid functioning, using the expanded International Cognition and Cancer Task Force (ICCTF) clinical trials battery and Test of Premorbid Functioning (TOPF)62 for comparison; (3) >1 month post brain surgery and/or radiation therapy, if applicable;
  • Estimated premorbid intelligence using TOPF >75.
  • Patients must be age 18+ and
  • Primarily English speaking.

Patient Exclusion Criteria:

  • Presence of major neurocognitive impairment that would prevent participation in the intervention, and/or severe aphasia, and/or inability to understand and provide informed consent
  • Referred participants who are suspected to have major neurocognitive impairment will be administered the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (TICS) during the pre-screening phase. Scores of <20 indicate major neurocognitive impairment and will result in exclusion from study participation;
  • Inability to attend weekly telehealth appointments

Investigate effect of interventions on neurocognitive tests Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (verbal learning and memory)
Временное ограничение: Baseline to post-intervention assessment, up to 28 weeks

Changes in neurocognitive assessment scores (pre vs post intervention) between groups based on the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (verbal learning and memory) neurocognitive test. Participant performance on the verbal learning and memory task will consist of three learning trials and a delay. A high score on the learning trials but a very low score on the delayed recall would show that the person can learn but has difficulty retrieving previously learned information.

Baseline to post-intervention assessment, up to 28 weeks
Investigate effect of interventions on neurocognitive test Controlled Oral Word Association (verbal fluency)
Временное ограничение: Baseline to post-intervention assessment, up to 28 weeks

Changes in neurocognitive assessment scores (pre vs post intervention) between groups based on the Controlled Oral Word Association (verbal fluency) neurocognitive test. Participant performance on the verbal fluency task will consist of generating words in 60 seconds on phonemic trials (words that start with a specific letter) and semantic trials (words that fall into a specific category). Scores are the number of correctly retrieved words. A higher raw score indicates greater verbal fluency.

Baseline to post-intervention assessment, up to 28 weeks
Investigate effect of interventions on neurocognitive test Trail Making (attention and task switching)
Временное ограничение: Baseline to post-intervention assessment, up to 28 weeks

Changes in neurocognitive assessment scores (pre vs post intervention) between groups based on Trail Making (processing speed and task switching). Participant performance will consist of time (in seconds) to complete a processing speed and switching task in which participants are asked to draw lines in sequential order, and then switch between two overlearned sequences. A shorter time to completion would indicate greater processing speed and task switching.

Baseline to post-intervention assessment, up to 28 weeks
Investigate effect of interventions on subjective cognition
Временное ограничение: Baseline to post-intervention assessment, up to 20 weeks

Changes in subjective cognition (pre vs post intervention) between groups based on the Neuro-Qol Short Form the National Institutes of Health (NIH) toolbox. Participants rate their experience of cognitive slips on 4 questions from "never" to "very often", and 4 questions from "no difficulty" to "cannot do". Higher scores indicate greater subjective cognition. Scores range from 8-40. Raw scores can be converted into standardized scores (T-scores) with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. Thus, a person who has a T-score of 60 is one SD above the average of the US general population.

Baseline to post-intervention assessment, up to 20 weeks
Investigate effect of interventions on fatigue
Временное ограничение: Baseline to post-intervention assessment, up to 20 weeks

Changes in fatigue (pre vs post intervention) between groups based on the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Fatigue short form. Participants rate their experience of fatigue on 4 items from "not at all" to "very much". Higher scores indicate greater fatigue. Scores range from 4-20. Raw scores can be converted into standardized scores (T-scores) with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. Thus, a person who has a T-score of 60 is one SD above the average of the US general population.

Baseline to post-intervention assessment, up to 20 weeks
Structural brain changes
Временное ограничение: From baseline to post-outcome assessment, 28 weeks

Change in brain volume (pre vs. post intervention) between groups based on brain imaging (MRI) data. The volume of lateral ventricle in the hemisphere opposite to the tumor will be measured, using 3D Slicer (https://www.slicer.org) to calculate the ventricular volume at each time point which will serve as an index of diffuse cerebral volume loss.
