NCT03508765

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn about possible changes in thinking (cognitive) abilities, such as memory skills, and in brain anatomy and function, in adults with multiple myeloma who are treated with high-dose chemotherapy followed by ASCT.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Changes in neurocognitive functions in older participants with Multiple Myeloma following high-dose (HD) chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) assessed by initial and follow-up neurocognitive evaluation

    up to 4 months following chemotherapy and ASCT

  • Changes in regional brain volume and functional connectivity when baseline and follow-up MRIs are compared.

    up to 4 months following chemotherapy and ASCT

Study Arms (1)

rsfMRI + Neurocognitive Tests

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants diagnosed with multiple myeloma in complete, partial or very good partial remission per standard International Myeloma Working Group Criteria will complete neurocognitive tests and structural and functional rsfMRI (brain MRIs).

Interventions

Structural ImageDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Patients will undergo structural and functional (rsfMRI) brain MRIs (total time= \~15 minutes) at enrollment (prior to HD-Chemo/ASCT) and approximately 3-4 months after ASCT.

Also known as: Brain MRI

Assesses attention and susceptibility to interference

rsfMRI + Neurocognitive Tests

A timed test of verbal fluency.

Also known as: COWAT

assesses perceived depression

Also known as: CES-D
rsfMRI + Neurocognitive Tests

A 13-item questionnaire designed to assess symptoms and concerns specific to the QOL of patients with fatigue

Also known as: FACIT-FS
rsfMRI + Neurocognitive Tests

Blood samples will be collected at each time point (pre-ASCT; 3-4 months and post-ASCT) to assess serum levels of inflammatory cytokines.

Eligibility Criteria

Age60 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosed with multiple myeloma and in complete, partial or very good partial remission at enrollment as per standard International Myeloma Working Group Criteria
  • Scheduled to have high-dose chemotherapy and ASCT
  • Age 60 - 75 years at study entry
  • In the judgment of the consenting professional, fluent and able to communicate well enough in English to complete the study assessments and provide informed consent.
  • Patients who report that English is not their primary language will be asked the US Census English proficiency question "How well do you speak English" and the answer "very well" will be required

You may not qualify if:

  • With signs and/or symptoms of central nervous system cancers (e.g., tumors, metastases, leptomeningial disease) as determined by their physician, medical records, or by a brain MRI, either at the time of enrollment or during the study period
  • With current diagnosis of major Axis I psychiatric disorder (DSM-IV), major depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, as per medical records or patient report
  • As per patient report or as confirmed by the medical record, if the patient is taking anti-depression or anti-anxiety medication, \< 2 months on these medications or a change in the prescribed dose in the past 2 months
  • With history of a neurological disorder, neurodegenerative disease, or traumatic brain injury with loss of consciousness (\>60 minutes), as per medical records or patient report
  • With a history of another cancer, except for non-melanoma skin cancer, as per medical records or patient report
  • With current substance abuse and/or history of substance abuse, as per medical records or patient report
  • With evidence of visual or auditory impairment that would preclude completion of the assessments, as per medical records or patient report
  • With contraindications to MRI examinations as per standard screening guidelines used in the Department of Radiology (i.e., ferromagnetic material or implants, pacemakers or defibrillators, stents, claustrophobia)
