The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot-test a modified version of telehealth-delivered Memory and Attention Adaption Training (MAAT) that is tailored to young adult childhood cancer survivors (ages 18-39; MAAT-YS) with cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). MAAT-YS consists of 8 weekly visits (45-minutes in duration) and participants use a survivor workbook and complete homework between visits. Participants in this single-group pilot trial (N=9) will complete online self-report measures of cognitive symptoms, quality of life, treatment satisfaction and a brief online neuropsychological test battery at baseline and post-MAAT-YS timepoints.
The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot-test a modified version of telehealth-delivered Memory and Attention Adaption Training (MAAT) that is tailored to young adult childhood cancer survivors (ages 18-39; MAAT-YS) with cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). MAAT-YS consists of 8 weekly visits (45-minutes in duration) and participants use a survivor workbook and complete homework between visits.
This pilot trial will determine MAAT-YS feasibility, treatment satisfaction and size of effect in self-report and objective measures of neurocognitive function.
Eligible participants will be 9 individuals who were diagnosed with non-central-nervous system (CNS) cancer (including leukemia/lymphoma without known CNS involvement) prior to the age of 18, are at least 1-year from completion of cancer treatment, including chemotherapy.
Participants will complete online self-report measures of cognitive symptoms, quality of life, treatment satisfaction and a brief online neuropsychological test battery at baseline and post-MAAT-YS timepoints.
If successful, further research is planned with a larger, multi-site randomized controlled trial of MAAT-YS.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive (FACT-Cog) v.3. Impact on Quality-of-Life Scale (IQOL) | The IQOL assesses perceived quality of life impact of cognitive symptoms participants experience within a timeframe of the previous 7 days. It consists of 4 items with a 5-point Likert-type rating of 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very Much) with a scoring range of 0-16. Scoring instructions indicate items are reverse scored, such that higher scores denote better quality of life, lower scores, poorer quality of life. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| MAAT-YS Fidelity Checklists | The MAAT-YS Fidelity Checklists assess the degree to which the MAAT-YS study clinician adheres to specific therapeutic behaviors of the MAAT-YS Clinician Manual. The checklists are administered to 2 independent treatment adherence raters who review randomly selected audio recordings of each of the 8 telehealth-delivered MAAT-YS visits. Behaviors in checklists per each visit are independently rated 0 (no or poor fidelity) to 10 (highest fidelity possible). Rating means are computed for each visit for a score of 0-10 with higher scores denoting higher treatment fidelity. |

| CNS Vital Signs (CNSVS) Online Neuropsychological Test Battery (4) 4-Part Continuous Performance Test (FPCPT) (sustained attention and working memory) | CNSVS 4-Part Continuous Performance Test (FPCPT) is a computer-based neuropsychological test of sustained attention and working memory. The test is measured in standard score units (Mean of 100; SD 15). Higher scores denote better cognitive function. | Baseline to Post-Treatment (after 8 weekly telehealth MAAT visits) |
| Baseline to Post-Treatment (after 8 weekly telehealth MAAT-YS visits) |
| Cognitive-Symptom-Checklist-Work-21 (CSC-W-21) | The CSC-W-21 is a 21-tem self-report measure of perceived impact of cognitive symptoms on work (occupational)-related tasks. Respondents are asked to indicate "yes" (1 point) or "no" (0 points) to each item. Higher scores, ranging from 0-21, denote more work-related cognitive symptoms. | Baseline to Post-Treatment (after 8 weekly telehealth MAAT-YS visits) |
