Nonpharmacologic Interventions for Fatigue in Patients With Cancer

This randomized pilot phase II trial studies how well exercise intervention with or without
internet-based cognitive behavior therapy works in reducing fatigue in patients with stage
III-IV breast cancer or prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body and
usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Exercise intervention and
internet-based cognitive behavior therapy may help to improve feelings of tiredness in
patients with breast or prostate cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the change in fatigue as assessed with the Patient Reported Outcomes
Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Fatigue 7a questionnaire with 12 weeks of exercise +
internet-based intervention + usual care compared to exercise + usual care.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare the change in other patient-reported measures (e.g., insomnia, pain severity,
physical function) as assessed with the PROMIS Profile 29 questionnaire with 12 weeks of
exercise + internet-based intervention + usual care compared to exercise + usual care.

II. To compare the change in activity level and associated parameters (e.g., graded exercise
test) with 12 weeks of exercise + internet-based intervention + usual care compared to
exercise + usual care.

III. To examine associations between change in fatigue and change in activity level.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients undergo POWER exercise intervention consisting of supervised exercise
training sessions over 50 minutes every 7 days for a total of 12 sessions and 150 minutes of
moderate-intensity exercise weekly for 12 weeks.

ARM II: Patients undergo POWER exercise intervention consisting of supervised exercise
training sessions over 50 minutes every 7 days for a total of 12 sessions and 150 minutes of
moderate-intensity exercise weekly for 12 weeks. Patients also undergo PROSPECT
internet-based cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) intervention over 12 weeks.

After completion of study, patients are followed up every 6-12 months for 2 years.

Inclusion Criteria:

sports activity based on patient self-report) within the past year
