This trial tests if adding creatine supplements to a virtual exercise program helps breast cancer survivors recover after chemotherapy. Participants will attend online exercise sessions three times a week and take creatine by mouth.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can help protect or improve thinking and memory in people with breast cancer while they are starting chemotherapy after surgery. It may help with “chemo brain” by targeting brain function during treatment.
This trial tests whether taking a special blend of prebiotics and synbiotics (friendly bacteria and food for them) can help prevent or reduce memory and thinking problems that sometimes happen during chemotherapy for breast cancer.
This pilot study tests whether the drug riluzole can help prevent the thinking and memory problems (often called 'chemobrain') that some people experience during chemotherapy. If you are about to start a chemo regimen containing an anthracycline or platinum drug, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a medicine called memantine combined with a structured exercise program can help protect your thinking and memory during chemotherapy for breast cancer. It may also help understand how these treatments work in the body.
This study looks at how chemotherapy may affect memory and thinking, using thinking tests and possibly brain imaging. It compares older breast cancer patients who do and do not get chemotherapy, plus a group of healthy older adults.
