About this study

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate 1) the effect of intradialytic pedaling exercise on arterial stiffness and other arterial hemodynamic parameters over 4 months, and 2) the longer-term effect of pedaling on arterial stiffness and other arterial hemodynamic parameters 4 months after finishing the exercise intervention (8 months after study initiation).

The investigators also aim to examine the impact of intradialytic pedaling exercise on general health, anthropometric measures, physical function, and routine laboratory blood markers as secondary outcome measures, as well as to assess feasibility, safety and adverse events associated with the intradialytic pedalling exercise.

Recruitment of more participants in the future will be considered if warranted.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in non-invasive measures of arterial stiffness using applanation tonometry.

    Measured: 4 months and 8 months after study initiation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in gait speed using a 6 meter walk course and timer.

    Measured: 4 months and 8 months after study initiation

  2. Change in grip strength using a hand dynamometer.

    Measured: 4 months and 8 months after study initiation

  3. Safety and adverse events.

    Measured: 8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise in people with Chronic Kidney Disease Requiring Chronic Dialysis, run by McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre.

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 2 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 21 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Change in non-invasive measures of arterial stiffness using applanation tonometry. (time frame: 4 months and 8 months after study initiation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03027778, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 21 Mar 2018.
