Brief Summary: RATIONALE Donepezil may help lessen confusion and fatigue and improve mood and quality of life in patients who have undergone radiation therapy for brain tumors It is not yet known whether donepezil is more effective than a placebo in lessening side effects of radiation therapy in patients with brain tumors

PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying donepezil to see how well it works in lessening side effects of radiation therapy compared with a placebo in patients who have undergone radiation therapy for brain tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Compare the effect of donepezil hydrochloride vs placebo in terms of improving neurocognitive symptom cluster ie cognitive impairment subjective confusion and fatigue in patients who have undergone partial- or whole-brain irradiation for brain tumors

Secondary

Compare the effect of these regimens on mood and quality of life in these patients

OUTLINE This is a prospective double-blind placebo-controlled randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to prior brain irradiation type whole-brain vs partial-brain and study site Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive oral donepezil hydrochloride once or twice daily for up to 24 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity
Arm II Patients receive oral placebo once or twice daily for up to 24 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity

Patients complete self-reported questionnaires quality of life fatigue subjective confusion neurocognitive battery and mood at baseline and 12 and 24 weeks

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 200 patients will be accrued for this study
