Questionnaires
Will follow patients for 26 weeks from baseline and collect assessments at baseline and Weeks 0, 10, and 26. Average time to complete the surveys is 30 minutes, which has been judged to be acceptable with minimal missing data; 20 minutes of these 30 minutes will be completed during the neurocognitive battery. Patients will complete PROs online using Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) or over the phone with the CRC. Biospecimens will be collected in person at assessment visits. The neurocognitive battery will be administered remotely.
