Ginkgo biloba has been reported to improve cognitive function in older adults and patients with Alzheimer’s disease and multi-infarct dementia. We conducted an open-label phase II study of this botanical product in symptomatic irradiated brain tumor survivors. Eligibility criteria included: life expectancy ≥ 30 weeks, partial or whole brain radiation ≥ 6 months before enrollment, no imaging evidence of tumor progression in previous 3 months, or stable or decreasing steroid dose, and no brain tumor treatment planned while on study. The ginkgo biloba dose was 120 mg/day (40 mg t.i.d.) for 24 weeks followed by a 6-week washout period. Assessments performed at baseline, 12, 24 (end of treatment), and 30 weeks (end of washout) included KPS, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Brain (FACT-Br), Profile of Mood States (POMS), Mini-Mental Status Exam (MMSE), Trail Making Test Parts A (TMT-A) and B (TMT-B), Digit Span Test (DST), Modified Rey Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF), California Verbal Learning Test Part II (CVLT-II), and the F-A-S Test. Of the 34 patients enrolled on study, 23 (68%) completed 12 weeks of treatment and 19 (56%) completed 24 weeks of treatment. There were significant improvements at 24 weeks in: executive function (TMT-B) (p=0.007), attention/concentration (TMT-A) (p=0.002), and non-verbal memory (ROCF – immediate/delayed recall) (p=0.001/0.002), mood (p=.002), FACT brain subscale (p=0.001), and the FACT physical subscale (p=.003). Some improvement in quality of life and cognitive function were noted with ginkgo biloba. However, treatment with ginkgo biloba was associated with a high dropout rate.
