| Purpose: |
|
RATIONALE: Learning about neurobehavioral function and quality of life over time in patients
with cancer or other chronic disease may help doctors learn about the long-term effects of
treatment and plan the best treatment.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is collecting and storing information over time from patients
with cancer or other chronic disease who have undergone neurobehavioral assessments on
another clinical trial.

| Study Summary: |
|
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the neurobehavioral function of patients with chronic illness by analyzing
stored data collected from IRB-approved protocols comprising retrospective data
collected on protocols that are now closed and prospective data from current and future
protocols.
Secondary
- Determine the relationship between neurobehavioral functioning and medical,
neuroimaging, neurologic, and psychiatric variables in these patients.
- Determine the association of neurobehavioral functioning and medication adherence, life
events, and family functioning in these patients.
- Compare neurobehavioral measures between different subgroups within an illness group.
- Determine the effects of treatment (e.g., antiretroviral therapy, radiation therapy) on
neurobehavioral functioning over time in these patients.
- Compare the responses of patients and caregivers on behavioral, adherence, and quality
of life questionnaires.
- Compare various aspects of neurobehavioral functioning between patients with different
chronic medical conditions.
- Validate novel assessment tools developed to better measure specific domains of
functioning, such as quality of life and neurologic function in children with chronic
illnesses with possible CNS involvement.
OUTLINE: This is a longitudinal, retrospective, and prospective study.
Retrospective data previously collected from patients enrolled on IRB-approved protocols is
identified from the secure NCI/Medical Illness Counseling Center (MICC) neuropsychological
database.
Prospective data is collected from patients as specified in current or future IRB-approved
protocols and entered in the secure NCI/MICC neuropsychological database within 1 month of
assessment.
Retrospective and prospective data collected from multisite IRB-approved protocols, that
have a CCR investigator and the neurobehavioral data managed by NCI, may be included in
analyses when appropriate.
Various cross-sectional and/or longitudinal analyses are conducted on the selected data in
the NCI/MICC neuropsychological database when appropriate.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 300 patients will be accrued for this study.
