Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Other

  • Life expectancy of \<8 weeks
  • Known brain metastases
  • Claustrophobia
  • Both patient and care partner refuse to participate in fMRI scan (ie., either patient or care partner must agree to an fMRI scan in order for either to participate)
  • Contraindications to MRI (e.g.: implanted or embedded metal/metal fragments. Metals in the body make the participant unable to undergo an MRI which makes them ineligible for study participation).

Who the study is looking for

  • 18 years or older
  • Patient: has received a diagnosis of advanced lung or gastrointestinal cancer within the last 24 weeks (note: advanced GI cancer will likely be pancreatic or colorectal)
  • Care partner: care partner of a patient who has received a diagnosis of metastatic lung or gastrointestinal cancer who has provided consent for study (either with our without functional MRI study visits)
  • Be able to understand study requirements and make an informed decision to participate
  • Be able to speak and read English
