Summary: This phase III trial evaluates whether patient care can be done remotely for patients having cranial (skull) radiation or who have previously had cranial radiation. In addition, this trial compares study outcomes between patients who get metformin and those who do not. Cranial radiation, an essential component of brain tumor treatment, can result in significant negative effects on cognitive (the ability to clearly think, learn, and remember) function. Wearable devices have been used in the field of neurology for seizure detection and assessment of patients with movement disorders. Wearable device technology has also been implemented for remote monitoring of cancer patients and for cancer clinical trials. Metformin is the active ingredient in a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (a condition in which the body cannot control the level of sugar in the blood). It is also being studied in the treatment of cancer. Use of metformin may reduce risk of cognitive decline following radiation therapy within the skull (intracranial). These effects may be further strengthen by addition of device-based physical activity promotion. Mayo Test Drive is a web-based platform for remote self-administered cognitive assessment. Using Mayo Test Drive may help determine whether patient care can be done remotely, while simultaneously evaluating benefits of health promotion through use of a wearable watch device and metformin in preventing radiation-related cognitive decline.

Detailed description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Determine the feasibility of completing serial remote cognitive, activity/sleep, and self-report assessments in clinical trial participants who have previously received cranial radiation. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the acceptance or satisfaction of patients with the remote monitoring in this trial and how these may differ between those who receive metformin versus (vs.) not. II. Evaluate compliance and feasibility in terms of the adherence to study drug in those randomized to receive metformin. III. Assess and compare neurocognitive function scores and the impact of receiving metformin + health promotion with wearable device vs. wearable device only. IV. Assess the safety and tolerability of metformin in patients who have previously received cranial radiation. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Investigate the relationship of metformin and other health outcomes such as activity and sleep data and how these compare to the results for patients who are randomized to the control group, who do not receive metformin. II. Explore potential differences in these compliance and satisfaction measures and how they may correspond to health disparities and social determinants of health. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups. GROUP A: Patients receive metformin orally (PO) twice day (BID) for 12 months. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also wear a wearable device to monitor health and undergo neurocognitive test throughout the study. GROUP B: Patients receive standard of care (SOC) treatment for 12 months. Patients also wear a wearable device to monitor health and undergo neurocognitive test throughout the study. Upon completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days then every 3 months for up to 2 years.
