Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to see whether a supportive intervention (REVITALIZE) reduces fatigue and its impact on daily life and activities for participants with ovarian cancer taking PARP inhibitors.

The name of the study groups in this research study are:

1. REVITALIZE
2. Educational Materials

Detailed Description

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

This Phase 3 randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effect of a brief, acceptance-based tele-health intervention (REVITALIZE) vs. educational materials in participants with ovarian cancer who are taking poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors.

Participants will be randomized into one of two study groups: 1) REVITALIZE or 2) Educational Materials. Randomization means a participant is placed into a study group by chance.

The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, using a wireless pill bottle, and completing questionnaires.

Participation in this research study is expected to last about 7 months.

It is expected about 240 people will take part in this research study.

The National Cancer Institute is supporting this research by providing funding.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

ARM 1: REVITALIZE Intervention

120 participants will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion stratified by PARP inhibitor type and study site and will complete the following:

1. Questionnaire upon enrollment.
2. Use of a wireless pill bottle for PARP inhibitor medication.
3. Eight weekly one-on-one intervention sessions with a coach via Zoom.
4. Two booster sessions to reinforce intervention with a coach via Zoom.
5. Questionnaires at 8, 13, 20, and 28 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

REVITALIZE Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A remotely delivered tele-health intervention to address cancer fatigue that is based on an acceptance-based approach. The intervention includes 8 one-on-one weekly sessions and 2 booster sessions with trained psychology doctoral students based at University of Colorado. Sessions will focus on fatigue education, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) skills, and behavior changes. Wi-Fi enabled tablets and keyboards will be provided to participants if needed. All sessions will be conducted via the Zoom platform and will either be videotaped or audiotaped.

ARM 2: Educational Materials

120 participants will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion stratified by PARP inhibitor type and study site and will complete the following:

1. Questionnaire upon enrollment.
2. Use of wireless pill bottle for PARP inhibitor medication.
3. Educational information on cancer survivorship, including management of fatigue.
4. Questionnaires at 8, 13, 20, and 28 weeks.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Educational Materials

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The educational materials arm will receive specialized cancer survivorship educational materials created by the National Cancer Institute

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancers (hereafter ovarian cancer) who have completed primary therapy (surgery and chemotherapy).
* Treated with a PARP inhibitor as maintenance therapy for ≥2 months and plan to continue for at least 7 months.
* English-speaking.
* Mean fatigue severity level ≥4 on the first three items of the Fatigue Symptom Inventory.
* ECOG performance status of 0-2.
* Willing to use a wireless pill bottle for PARP inhibitor medication.

Exclusion Criteria

* Untreated clinical condition or comorbid condition that pre-dates PARP inhibitor use and could explain fatigue, as evaluated by their treating oncologist.
* Patients with severe psychiatric conditions (e.g. untreated trauma unrelated to cancer, high or imminent suicidality) as evaluated by their treating oncologist, which require more intensive psychiatric treatment than the study can provide.
* Patients with cognitive conditions (e.g. dementia), determined by their treating oncologist, such that they could not provide informed consent or complete the study procedures.
* Inability to complete the first questionnaire within one week of consent.
