Summary

This study tests whether the diabetes drug metformin, along with a wearable activity tracker, can reduce memory and thinking problems caused by radiation to the brain. About 100 adults who have had or will have cranial radiation for a brain tumor will take metformin or a placebo and use a smartwatch. The goal is to see if this approach can be done remotely and improve quality of life.
