Study Summary

This phase II/III trial studies how well methylphenidate and exercise work in reducing cancer-related fatigue in patients with prostate cancer. Methylphenidate is a type of central nervous system stimulant that can improve cognitive ability, mainly in memory and cognitive function. Exercise can improve mood and the physical aspects of cancer-related fatigue. Giving methylphenidate in combination with exercise may work better in reducing cancer-related fatigue in patients with prostate cancer.
