Resumo
This randomized, placebo-controlled trial aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of memantine and the University of Carolina (UNC)'s Get Real & Heel cancer exercise program (MEM+EX) in addressing cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) and underlying CRCI biomarkers. Ninety stage I-III breast cancer patients with mild cognitive difficulties during chemotherapy will be randomized into three groups: MEM+EX, memantine, or placebo. The study will evaluate recruitment, retention, adherence, acceptability, cognitive function, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), inflammatory markers, and frailty at multiple time points.
Descrição detalhada
There are 4 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. and an estimated 1.4 million suffer from long-term cognitive deficits from cancer treatment. Compared to other cancers and treatments, cognitive decline has been most robustly described in breast cancer and following chemotherapy with up to 75% self-reporting and ~50% objectively demonstrating at least mild cognitive deficits after chemotherapy. Memantine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, is a promising medication to address underlying mechanisms of CRCI, including inflammation and pathways involving brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Exercise, a promising intervention for frailty which intervenes on multiple mechanisms of aging, is an ideal strategy to augment the targeted effects of memantine.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of MEM+EX during breast cancer chemotherapy. Secondarily, the preliminary efficacy of MEM+EX and memantine on putative biomarkers of CRCI and cognitive function will be evaluated. Furthermore, the impact of frailty on the preliminary efficacy of MEM+EX and memantine will be explored.

The proposed study has the potential to produce significant public health benefit by filling a major gap in effective CRCI treatments. It will provide important pilot data for future, definitive randomized controlled studies. Finally, this study will advance understanding of potential targets to pursue in future cognitive interventions, including pathways involving BDNF and inflammation, during treatment for cancer.

Desfecho primário

Rates of recruitment
Rates of recruitment will be measured as a number of subjects joined the study.
Baseline
Rates of retention
Rates of retention will be measured as the proportion of subjects who remained in the study at post-intervention (up to 6 months) and after 6 months among those who started the intervention
Up to a year
Rates of adherence
Rates of adherence will be measured as a number of subjects who joined the study completed 80 percent of planned study activities.
Up to a year
The acceptability of memantine + Get Real and Heel (MEM+EX)
The acceptability of memantine + Get Real and Heel (MEM+EX) will be assessed using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-3). CSQ-3 is a three-item measure of treatment acceptability that has demonstrated excellent reliability and validity across a range of patient care settings. Each item is scored on a Likert-type scale from 1 (low satisfaction) to 4 (high satisfaction). CSQ-3 will be completed at post-intervention only (or at the time of withdrawal from the study, if applicable).
Up to 6 months

Attention and Executive Function Composite Score
The attention and executive function score is a composite of the following neuropsychological assessment measures: Digit Span, Trail Making Test Parts A\&B, Controlled Oral Word Association Test, and Animal Naming Test. It will be calculated as the sum of Z-scores (standardized based on available age-, sex-, education-, and race/ethnicity-matched normative data) of the individual subtests and range from a Z-score of -3 to +3.
Baseline and up to 1 year
Learning and Memory Composite Score
The learning and memory score is a composite of the following neuropsychological assessment measures: Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised and Brief Visual Memory Test-Revised. It will be calculated as the sum of Z-scores (standardized based on available age-, sex-, education-, and race/ethnicity-matched normative data) of the individual subtests and range from a Z-score of -3 to +3.
Baseline and up to 1 year
Changes in patient-reported cognition
The impact of MEM+EX and memantine on cognitive function will be determined by examining changes in patient-reported cognition, as measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Cognitive Function (FACT-Cog PCI) version 3, compared to placebo. FACT-Cog PCI is a self-report measure designed to assess perceived cognitive functioning in cancer patients, particularly those experiencing chemotherapy-induced cognitive problems. It consists of 18 items and each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (Never) to 4 (Several times a day). The total score is obtained by summing the subscale scores. Higher scores indicate better perceived cognitive functioning.
Baseline and up to 1 year
The impact of MEM+EX and memantine on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)
The impact of MEM+EX and memantine on putative biomarkers of CRCI will be determined by examining changes in BDNF compared to placebo.
Baseline and up to 6 months
The impact of MEM+EX and memantine on inflammatory markers
The impact of MEM+EX and memantine on putative biomarkers of CRCI will be determined by examining changes in inflammatory composite measure (TNF-alpha, IL-6, CRP) compared to placebo.
Baseline and up to 6 months
