About this study

This pilot study will be a clinical trial to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a kidney transplant (KT) prehabilitation intervention in adults with end stage renal disease (ESRD) who are within 3-6 months of transplantation.

Read the detailed description

Prehabilitation is the enhancement of functional capacity of a patient to improve their ability to withstand a future stressor. The investigators primary objective is to demonstrate feasibility for prehabilitation in Aim 1 and test whether the number of prehabilitation sessions is associated with increased physical activity. The investigators will formally test whether prehabilitation is associated with a reduction in short term and long term KT outcomes as part of Aim 2. The investigators will test whether there is an effect of prehabilitation on short-term (KT length of stay> 2 weeks, early hospital readmission and delayed graft function) and long-term (acute rejection (within the first year), 1 year patient and graft survival) outcomes compared to standard of care controls. Participants will be followed for 3-6 months or until they receive a kidney transplant.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PrehabilitationOther

    Also called exercise training

    The study will use a generic prehabilitation program which will include the following components: Warm-up, cardiovascular training, strength training, flexibility training, and cool down. Prehabilitation will occur once per week and approximately 1 hour in duration. Participants will take part in prehabilitation until they receive a kidney transplant which by study design is approximately for 3-6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Prehabilitation in people with Kidney Failure, Chronic, run by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post kidney transplant mortality (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Feb 2020.
