Study Summary

Fatigue is a major problem for cancer patients, and one that can persist long after treatment ends. Recent work has demonstrated that light therapy may mitigate or reduce fatigue levels in both cancer patients and cancer survivors. This protocol seeks to assess how lighting interventions distributed through a mobile app affect fatigue, sleep, and quality of life across three populations of cancer patients: breast cancer and prostate cancer, and patients who have undergone autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Participants will be randomized 1:1 to either the interventional SYNC app or to a control app.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome was PROMIS® Fatigue 4a Short Form (SF) at the end of trial, compared between arms. As we did not have a PROMIS® 4-item Fatigue weekly measurement for week 0, we were unable to calculate a change from baseline through this measure alone. We assessed this outcome by looking at differences in fatigue between the intervention and control group at the final week (week 11), and the treatment effect on fatigue at week 11 while controlling (through generalized estimating equations) f
