Brief Summary

This study is testing whether a 6 week skills-based telehealth intervention can help ovarian cancer patients experiencing PARP inhibitor-related fatigue reduce the impact of fatigue on their daily life and activities.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Fatigue Interference

    Changes in fatigue interference were measured using the validated 7-item interference scale of the Fatigue Symptom Inventory scale. Interference items assessed the degree to which fatigue interfered with general levels of activity, ability to bathe and dress, normal work activity, ability to concentrate, relations with others, enjoyment of life, and mood. Fatigue interference was scored on an 11-point scale, ranging from 0 (no interference) to 10 (extreme interference). Interference items were summed to obtain a total perceived interference score, with higher scores indicating greater fatigue interference.

    Change from baseline to 4-, 8-, and 12-weeks

  • Fatigue Severity

    The Fatigue Symptom Inventory (FSI), is a 14-item self-report measure designed to assess the severity, frequency, and daily pattern of fatigue as well as its perceived interference with quality of life. Severity is measured on separate 11-point scales (0=not at all fatigued; 10=as fatigued as I could be) that assess most, least, and average fatigue in the past week as well as current fatigue. Frequency is measured as the number of days in the past week (0-7) that respondents felt fatigued as well as the extent of each day on average they felt fatigued (0=none of the day; 10=the entire day). Perceived interference is measured on separate 11-point scales (0=no interference; 10=extreme interference) that assess the degree to which fatigue in the past week was judged to interfere with general level of activity, ability to bathe and dress, normal work activity, ability to concentrate, relations with others, enjoyment of life, and mood. Higher FSI scores are associated with worse outcomes.

  • Current Fatigue

    The Fatigue Symptom Inventory (FSI), is a 14-item self-report measure designed to assess the severity, frequency, and daily pattern of fatigue as well as its perceived interference with quality of life. Severity is measured on separate 11-point scales (0=not at all fatigued; 10=as fatigued as I could be) that assess most, least, and average fatigue in the past week as well as current fatigue. Frequency is measured as the number of days in the past week (0-7) that respondents felt fatigued as well as the extent of each day on average they felt fatigued (0=none of the day; 10=the entire day). Perceived interference is measured on separate 11-point scales (0=no interference; 10=extreme interference) that assess the degree to which fatigue in the past week was judged to interfere with general level of activity, ability to bathe and dress, normal work activity, ability to concentrate, relations with others, enjoyment of life, and mood. Higher FSI scores are associated with worse outcomes.

Study Arms (3)

Run In

EXPERIMENTAL

Recruit up to 5 patients who meet eligibility criteria to participate in the run-in period of the study * Participants will receive a 6-week Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention (REVITALIZE).

Behavioral: REVITALIZE ACT Intervention

Enhanced Usual Care (EUC)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants randomized to EUC will receive educational materials developed by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) about fatigue and exercise during cancer treatment.

Behavioral: Enhanced Usual Care (EOC)

REVITALIZE ACT Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants randomized to the REVITALIZE acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) will receive 6 weekly sessions lasting approximately 60-75-minutes over a 6-8 week period, delivered face-to-face using iPads, computers or tablets, and a HIPAA-compliant platform (Zoom for Healthcare). If participants have difficulty connecting to the platform, telephone sessions are permitted.
