Overview
To determine the efficacy, as measured by the slope of change of the Cogstate composite Z score from baseline to 12 months, of oral memantine administered for a period of 6 months, when compared to placebo, in children ages 4-18 receiving cranial or craniospinal radiotherapy for primary central nervous system tumors.
Description
This study is a Phase 3, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial inc hildren receiving focal, cranial, or craniospinal RT for primary brain tumors to evaluate whether memantine protects against cognitive decline assessed at 12 months.
