Light plus job therapy for fatigue in genitourinary cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether light therapy and an occupational therapy fatigue program can reduce fatigue in people with certain urinary-system cancers who still have mild fatigue during treatment. It may help you feel more energized and manage day-to-day activity while cancer treatment is ongoing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You can read and speak English well enough for the study
- You have a genitourinary cancer (like prostate, kidney, or bladder) and you are on active cancer treatment (medicine or radiation)

- Your expected outlook is at least 6 months, and you can give consent yourself

This Phase 2 study tests whether a “bright white light” intervention can reduce cancer-related fatigue and depression in people with advanced prostate cancer receiving hormone-based treatment. If it works, it could improve day-to-day well-being while you’re on standard cancer therapies.
This trial tests a special bright light therapy designed to help your body's natural sleep-wake cycle. It is being studied for people with advanced melanoma who are about to receive TIL therapy, a treatment that uses your own immune cells to fight the cancer. The light therapy might help improve how you feel during treatment.
This trial tests a light-based treatment called photobiomodulation to see if it can help with memory and thinking problems that some people have after cancer treatment. It is for people who finished chemotherapy or radiation more than 6 months ago but less than 5 years ago, and who notice cognitive issues.
This trial tests whether bright light therapy can help reduce tiredness in people who have finished cancer treatment. It may improve energy and quality of life for cancer survivors.
This trial studies whether a structured light-exposure routine can improve symptoms like fatigue and how survivors feel day to day. It is aimed at children and teens who have recovered from a non–high-risk type of brain tumor and have mild to moderate fatigue.
This study tests if daily bright light therapy can help people with advanced melanoma or lung cancer feel better during their first immunotherapy treatment. The light box is used at home for a short time each morning.
