Study Summary

This phase II/III trial studies how well physical activity with or without dexamethasone works in reducing cancer-related fatigue in patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body or has come back. Dexamethasone may decrease the body's immune response. Combining physical activity with dexamethasone may help to treat fatigue in patients with cancer.

Primary Outcome

Will be assessed by the proportion of participants completing the intervention. Will estimate 95% confidence intervals for the proportion of patients completing the intervention.
