Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical trial studies the effects of occupational therapy fatigue management in patients with renal cell cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Many patients diagnosed with cancer experience cancer-related fatigue. These patients that are also on immunotherapy can experience added distressing fatigue that impacts their daily lives. Occupational therapy uses a client-centered and holistic approach to work collaboratively with patients to assess fatigue and develop strategies to manage each individual's specific needs. Fatigue-based management is a fundamental component of occupational therapy rehabilitation regimens. This trial may help patients address and reduce their fatigue.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine if an occupational therapy (OT)-based intervention can reduce cancer-related fatigue by 10 percent as measured by the brief fatigue inventory (BFI) tool, in patients undergoing immunotherapy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine if an OT-based intervention can improve pain ratings. II. To determine if an OT-based intervention can improve indices of depression. III. To determine if an OT-based intervention can improve indices of anxiety. IV. To determine if an OT-based intervention can maintain a reduced level of fatigue beyond the period of intervention.

OUTLINE:

Patients participate in OT sessions weekly for 3 weeks over 30 minutes each. Patients also complete questionnaires to assess anxiety, depression, fatigue and pain at baseline, 5 and 12 weeks.
