Brain effects of ALK/ROS1 lung cancer drugs and quality of life
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how certain targeted therapy drugs for ALK/ROS1-positive lung cancer may affect thinking, memory, mood, and mental health. It aims to build a special care and research path where patients and researchers work together to understand and manage these side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are currently taking a targeted therapy drug for ALK/ROS1-positive lung cancer.
- Your doctor has noted you have some problems with thinking, memory, mood, or other brain-related symptoms that might be linked to your treatment.

This real-world study looks at how often lorlatinib causes side effects in the brain and nervous system in people with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to better understand these risks so doctors can help patients manage them.
This study looks at how lung cancer and its treatments may affect thinking and memory. You will fill out questionnaires on your phone, tablet, or computer at home.
This study looks at how well ALK-positive advanced lung cancer patients feel during normal treatment with ALK inhibitors. Researchers want to learn about your symptoms and quality of life so they can improve care for other patients like you.
This trial tests whether a medication called vortioxetine can help improve memory, focus, and thinking problems caused by lorlatinib, a drug used to treat ALK-positive lung cancer. You would take vortioxetine alongside your current cancer treatment to see if it helps your brain function.
This trial tests whether it is better to delay brain radiation or give it right away in people with ALK-positive lung cancer that has spread to the brain and is causing few or no symptoms. If you are starting alectinib, you may be able to join and help find the best timing for radiation.
This trial studies how radiotherapy affects memory and thinking in adults with certain brain or skull-base tumors. It may help doctors understand who is most likely to have thinking changes and how to monitor or support patients.
