Older adult participation in cancer clinical trials: A systematic review of barriers and interventions

Mina S. Sedrak, Rachel A. Freedman, Harvey J. Cohen, Hyman B. Muss, Aminah Jatoi, Heidi D. Klepin, Tanya M. Wildes, Jennifer G. Le-Rademacher, Gretchen G. Kimmick, William P. Tew, Kevin George, Simran Padam, Jennifer Liu, Andrew R. Wong, Andrea Lynch, Benjamin Djulbegovic, Supriya G. Mohile, William Dale

Summary: Cancer is a disease of aging, and the number of older patients with cancer is increasing. However, older patients are underrepresented in cancer research and effective strategies to improve their participation in clinical trials are sparse. Studies on barriers and interventions for older adults in cancer trials are limited, highlighting a need for more evidence-based solutions to address this issue.

The Effects of Time to Treatment Initiation for Patients With Non-small-cell Lung Cancer in the United States

Taylor R. Cushman, Bernard Jones, David Akhavan, Chad G. Rusthoven, Vivek Verma, Ravi Salgia, Mina Sedrak, Erminia Massarelli, James W. Welsh, Arya Amini

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the impact of time from diagnosis to initial treatment on survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Delayed treatment was associated with poorer survival outcomes and disparities based on race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status in non-metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

Summary: The study identified 8 independent predictors and developed a scoring model to predict chemotherapy toxicity in older adults with early-stage breast cancer. Patients were classified into low, intermediate, and high-risk groups, aiding in the early prediction of toxic reactions.

Effect of chemotherapy on default mode network connectivity in older women with breast cancer

Summary: Chemotherapy in older women with breast cancer can lead to alterations in the connectivity of the default mode network, with a pattern of stronger anterior connectivity and weaker posterior connectivity observed post-chemotherapy. These changes may serve as potential neuroimaging biomarkers for cancer-related cognitive impairment and accelerated aging.

Improving Care for Spanish-Speaking Older Adults with Breast Cancer: Feasibility, Reliability, and Validity of a Self-Administered Spanish Language Geriatric Assessment

Enrique Soto-Perez-de-Celis, Jessica Vazquez, Heeyoung Kim, Can-Lan Sun, Kemeberly Charles, Ashley Celis, Vani Katheria, Daneng Li, William Dale, Mina S. Sedrak

Summary: The study evaluated the feasibility, reliability, and validity of a Spanish-language self-administered geriatric assessment in older Spanish-speaking women with breast cancer in the United States. Participants with lower educational levels required more assistance and took longer to complete the assessment. Tailoring assessment tools to the educational level of patients is crucial in multicultural environments.

Multimodality Treatment with Radiotherapy and Immunotherapy in Older Adults: Rationale, Evolving Data, and Current Recommendations

Elizabeth A. A. Germino, Ameish Govindarajan, Mina S. S. Sedrak, Daneng Li, Arya Amini

Summary: The combination of immunotherapy and radiotherapy/chemoradiation has shown promising results in certain cancer patients. However, there are challenges in translating this combination therapy into real-world practice, as clinical trials often do not include a representative sample of older adults with comorbidities who make up a significant proportion of patients in clinical settings. This review aims to provide an overview of the current evidence for multimodality treatment in older adults, including extrapolation from single-modality therapies, and to highlight ongoing trials targeting older cancer patients. The review identifies current gaps in the field and provides recommendations for considering these gaps in both preclinical settings and when designing clinical trials, in order to improve the use of multimodality therapy in clinical practice as more data becomes available.

Signal Variability and Cognitive Function in Older Long-Term Survivors of Breast Cancer with Exposure to Chemotherapy: A Prospective Longitudinal Resting-State fMRI Study

Bihong T. Chen, Zikuan Chen, Frank Deng, Sunita K. Patel, Mina S. Sedrak, James C. Root, Tim A. Ahles, Marianne Razavi, Heeyoung Kim, Can-Lan Sun, William Dale

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of chemotherapy on brain functional resting-state signal variability and cognitive function in older long-term survivors of breast cancer. The findings revealed a significant decrease in SDBOLD in the CH group, indicating potential alterations in brain function in breast cancer survivors exposed to chemotherapy.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate alterations in cortical thickness and cognition in older long-term survivors of breast cancer who had been treated with chemotherapy. The results showed that long-term chemotherapy could lead to cortical thinning and cognitive decline in older cancer survivors.

Hyperglycemia and Glycemic Variability Associated with Glucocorticoids in Women without Pre-Existing Diabetes Undergoing Neoadjuvant or Adjuvant Taxane Chemotherapy for Early-Stage Breast Cancer

Dana Mahin, Sayeh Moazami Lavasani, Leon Cristobal, Niki Tank Patel, Mina Sedrak, Daphne Stewart, James Waisman, Yuan Yuan, Wai Yu, Raynald Samoa, Nora Ruel, Susan E. E. Yost, Hayley Lee, Sung Hee Kil, Joanne E. E. Mortimer

Summary: Glucocorticoids administered with chemotherapy cause hyperglycemia in breast cancer patients. A retrospective study analyzed random blood glucose levels in early-stage breast cancer patients who received dexamethasone prior to chemotherapy. The incidence of steroid-induced hyperglycemia (SIH) was 67%, and it was highest in patients with glucose levels of >200 mg/dL. Non-Hispanic White patients had a higher risk of developing SIH, but over 90% of the patients had transient hyperglycemia.

Feasibility and Satisfaction of Using NET VITALS Self-assessment Tool Among Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumors

Daneng Li, Giovanna J. Imbesi, Lisa Yen, Heeyoung Kim, Can-Lan Sun, Christiana J. Crook, Richard Ballena, Ya-Han Zhang, Rebecca Allen, Mina Sedrak, Gagandeep Singh

Summary: There is a lack of effective patient education about the diagnosis and treatment of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), possibly due to their rare occurrence. In this study, a self-assessment tool called NET VITALS was used to evaluate patients' perception and awareness of their NET diagnosis and treatment. The results revealed a lack of knowledge among patients regarding tumor characteristics, symptoms duration, and liver-directed therapies. Additionally, a significant proportion of patients felt that they did not receive sufficient information about NETs at the time of diagnosis. However, most patients found NET VITALS helpful in discussing topics with healthcare providers and would recommend it to others.

Electronic Geriatric Assessment: Is It Feasible in a Multi-Institutional Study That Included a Notable Proportion of Older African American Patients? (Alliance A171603)

Summary: The study found that an electronic geriatric assessment is feasible in a multi-institutional setting, including a notable proportion of African American or Black patients. Most patients were able to complete the assessment independently, with reasons for non-completion including missed clinic visits and internet connectivity issues. Patients who needed assistance tended to have practical or personal reasons, such as language barriers or lack of familiarity with the device.
