Study Purpose

The purpose of this prospectively enrolling trial is to assess long-term cognitive outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for resection of a meningioma associated with the frontal and temporal lobes.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04635657
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Meningioma, Skull Base Meningioma, Frontal Meningioma, Temporal Meningioma, Cognitive Impairment, Cognitive Decline, Post-Surgical Cognition
Additional Details

This study will look at patients who are undergoing resection of a skull based meningioma, located in the frontal or temporal lobe, via craniotomy or via endoscopic endonasal approach. The study will compare cognitive function at baseline, at six weeks postoperatively and at one year postoperatively. The cognitive testing being done at baseline will be a clinical care set of assessments done by the speech language pathology team and will include the RBANS tests, the MoCA, PROMIS-29, and NeuroQOL-Cognitive Functions.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

: Meningioma Group

This group will include all patients in the study, regardless of location (frontal or temporal lobe) or surgical approach (endoscopic endonasal or craniotomy). Fifty patients will be included in the cohort

Interventions

Other: - Long-term Cognitive testing

These patients will undergo their standard of care cognitive testing at baseline, six weeks post-operatively and one year post-operatively.
