Lung cancer fatigue study seeks to uncover hidden toll of immunotherapy
NCT ID NCT06567704
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study aims to understand cancer-related fatigue in people with non-small cell lung cancer who are receiving immunotherapy. Researchers will interview 20 patients about their fatigue, daily function, and views on physical activity. The goal is to learn how fatigue affects patients and what support they need, not to test a new treatment.

Inclusion Criteria: * ≥ 18 years of age at the time of consent. * Must be able to speak, read, and understand English. * Participants diagnosed with NSCLC, and: * have advanced/metastatic disease who are currently receiving immunotherapy monotherapy, or * have locally advanced disease who are currently receiving immunotherapy monotherapy after completing thoracic radiation therapy, or * who underwent resection and are currently receiving immunotherapy monotherapy after completing all other perioperative treatment * Immunotherapy planned to continue for at least three months after the time of study enrollment (to ensure participant remains on IO long enough to obtain study assessments) * Have completed at least two cycles of immunotherapy. * Self-reported cancer-related fatigued that impacts daily function. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants who have received a dose of chemotherapy (including maintenance pemetrexed) within the past 3 months * Participants who have received radiation therapy within the past 3 months. Note: a short course of palliative radiation therapy within up to 20 Gy and up to 5 fractions is permissible. * Diagnosis of dementia. * Anemia Hgb \<10 g/dL. * Sarcopenia which is being pharmacologically treated with a prescribed appetite stimulant (e.g., megestrol). * Untreated hypothyroidism. * Symptomatic heart failure. * Oxygen dependent lung disease. * Cognitively unable to complete interviews per investigator.
