Physical Activity and Fatigue in Cancer Survivors

This study is looking at how daily physical activity (PA) relates to different ways we measure fatigue in cancer survivors. We want to see if there's a connection between how active you are and how tired you feel. The study is for adults (18 and older) who are patients at the University of Colorado Cancer Center, are currently getting cancer treatment or finished within the last six months, and are participating in the BfitBwell Cancer Exercise Program with a doctor's clearance. We'll measure fatigue using a 10-point scale and physical activity with an Actigraph device over three months. The goal is to learn how exercise can best reduce fatigue and improve how we measure it. The recruitment status is currently unclear.

Study design
This is an observational study with a planned enrollment of 150 participants. It will investigate relationships between physical activity and fatigue.
What's involved
You would answer daily questions about fatigue using a smartphone app for three months. You would also wear a physical activity monitor for 10 days during the first and last months of the program.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your physical activity and fatigue levels will be measured at three months.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Be an active participant in the BfitBwell Cancer Exercise Program
Criteria for this program include:
Adult (\>= 18 years old)
Being a patient seen at the University of Colorado Cancer Center
Currently receiving cancer therapy or be within 6 months of completing cancer therapy
Have a signed physician clearance form to participate in an exercise program
Have a smartphone (necessary for the EMA assessments)
A score of 48 or less on the FACIT-Fatigue (completed during the initial BfitBwell Program assessment)
The minimally important difference of the FACIT-Fatigue is 3 points, suggesting that a score of at most 48 indicates the presence of CRF and allows for meaningful change in both directions.

Exclusion

None

What this trial measures

  • 10-point Fatigue Scale, Day3 months

    Severity of fatigue experienced over the course of the day, ranked 0-10. How would you rate your fatigue, over the last day, on a scale of 0-10, with 0 being no fatigue and 10 being the worst possible fatigue?

  • Physical Activity measure by Actigraph device3 months

    PA will be monitored using commonly used, non-invasive Actigraph devices (Actigraph GT3XP). Data will be collected utilizing methodology similar to that of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), in cancer survivors. The collected accelerometry data will be downloaded and analyzed in ActiLife software, calculation the average time spent in moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) at each assessment period using standard algorithms and cut-points.
