Official Title: Assessment of Clinical and Neuroradiologic Evidence of Methotrexate Leukoencephalopathy in Children Treated on POG 9605 and 9201
Study ID: NCT00028509
Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Assessing the effects of methotrexate on brain function in children may improve the ability to plan treatment and decrease side effects. PURPOSE: Clinical trial to compare brain function of children who have been previously treated with methotrexate.
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: * Compare the incidence of neuropsychological abnormalities and leukoencephalopathy in children previously treated with methotrexate on protocols POG-9605 versus POG-9201. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. More than 3 years after completion of therapy, patients undergo 9 different tests to assess intelligence, memory, learning, attention, concentration, processing of information, functioning, and visual-motor integration. Patients also undergo MRI of the head. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30-54 patients previously treated on protocol POG-9201 will be accrued for this study. A total of 60-108 patients previously treated on protocol POG-9605 will be accrued for this study.
