Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with a histo-molecular diagnosis of grade 2 or 3 diffuse glioma and cognitive complaints.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are not fluent in French or those who have not undergone neurosurgical excision may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the efficacy of a mixed distance neuropsychological rehabilitation program specifically designed for patients diagnosed with grade 2 or 3 diffuse glioma. The program aims to address cognitive impairments such as memory, attention, and executive function disorders that significantly affect the quality of life of these patients. Participants will receive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) from a neuropsychologist, combining digital tools with human support to enhance adherence and therapeutic outcomes. The study includes patients who have undergone neurosurgical excision and have completed any oncological treatments at least six months prior.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve cognitive function and overall quality of life for patients with diffuse glioma.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results for cognitive rehabilitation in similar neurological conditions, although this specific approach is relatively novel.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years old, no age limit; * Histo-molecular diagnosis of grade 2 or 3 diffuse glioma according to World Health Organization (WHO) Classification 2016, regardless of oncological treatments previously received; * Patient in satisfactory general condition for the study, defined by a WHO performance index ≤ 2 (ECOG-Performance Status (PS) ≤ 2); * Neurosurgical excision (excluding biopsy) performed ≥ 12 months previously; * In the case of oncological treatment, patient who has completed his sessions (radiotherapy, chemotherapy) for ≥ 6 months; * Patient presenting a cognitive complaint defined as a response rated at least "Fairly" to at least one of the 2 items (n°20 and 25) assessing cognitive complaint in the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire (i.e., defined as a score on the "Cognitive Functioning" scale ≤ 66.67); * Fluent in French; * Affiliation to the French Social Security System; * Possible regular use of a digital tool with Internet access; * Signature of informed consent prior to any study procedure. Exclusion Criteria: * Visual or auditory deficit not corrected to normal and/or preventing use of computer tools (i.e., homonymous lateral hemianopia is not a criterion for non-inclusion) ; * Concurrent participation in a study with cognition as primary endpoint (e.g., "POLCA", " POLO " clinical trials) ; * Legal incapacity or physical, psychological, social or geographical conditions preventing the patient from signing the consent form or completing the study ; * Unstable or uncontrolled psychiatric syndrome (i.e., psychotropic treatments are not a criterion for non-inclusion if doses are stable) ; * Known severe cognitive impairment (e.g., neurodegenerative disease, sequelae of head trauma, etc.) or defined by a score ≤ 20 on the MoCA test or impacting the ability to use digital tools at home ; * Oncological treatment (radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy and/or surgery) planned within 4 months of inclusion. Targeted anti-Isocitrate DeHydrogenase (IDH) therapies are authorized.
