Study Summary

This study is to compare the safety and effects of donepezil (Aricept) for patients reporting cognitive or memory issues after receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. Patients will receive either donepezil or placebo for 24 weeks. The primary objective is to see if memory improves with the use of donepezil during the study.

Primary Outcome

Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R): The HVLT-R measures verbal learning and memory. It consists of a 12-item word list which is read to patients on three successive learning trials. Free recall scores are recorded for each learning trial. After a 20-minute interval during which patients complete other non-interfering tasks and questionnaires they are asked to recall the target words. Range is 0-36 with higher values representing better verbal learning and memory.
