About this study
This research project seeks to learn more about how lifestyle interventions can help liver and kidney transplant recipients achieve weight loss goals. The investigators want to evaluate if an intervention using weight and activity wrist monitors, as well as nutritional coaching group sessions is acceptable and useful for post-transplant patients aiming for weight loss. All participants will be given a wrist activity monitor, and a scale. Half of participants will be invited to participate in the nutritional coaching group sessions. The research team will look at weight loss, devices' usage, and satisfaction, and see if there are any difference among the two groups.
Read the detailed description
This project aims to understand feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of using connected health services (use of Fitbit and Scale), and nutritional coaching group sessions as a lifestyle intervention for post-transplant patients seeking weight loss. Secondarily, the investigators aim to assess effectiveness of the intervention to generate weight loss. Enrolled patients will receive a wrist activity tracker (Fitbit Charge 4) and a scale, of which information synchronizes to the electronic health record. Steps, usage, and weight values will be recorded and analyzed from the devices. All patients will be followed with monthly calls to assess issues with devices, and address case-specific questions. Simultaneously, half of the patients will be randomized to receive every other month nutritional coaching group sessions on topics related to nutrition and physical activity. Patients will have an in-person follow-up appointment where laboratory values, body measurements, and physical and mental readiness for weight loss surveys and scales will be applied at 6 and 12-months. Patients that don't accomplish weight loss goal at 6 months will be invited to cross over to the nutritional coaching group sessions intervention arm.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Wrist activity tracker and scaleDevice
Also called Fitbit Charge 4
Wrist activity tracker used to evaluate number of steps, heart rate, and frequency of usage of the devices to monitor activity. Scale used to record a patient's weight value.
Nutritional Coaching group sessionsBehavioural
Nutritional coaching group sessions held via zoom and performed by a certified clinical nutritionist regarding nutrition, and physical activity specific for weight loss.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control group | Other | Patients receive a wrist activity monitor and a scale. They are also followed with monthly calls ensuring adequate functioning of devices and receiving case-specific nutritional guidance. Receives: Device: Wrist activity tracker and scale |
| Group intervention group | Experimental | In addition to receiving a wrist activity monitor, scale, and being followed with monthly calls, patients in this arm received every other month nutritional coaching group sessions on topics related to nutrition and physical activity to promote education and lifestyle changes Receives: Device: Wrist activity tracker and scale; Behavioral: Nutritional Coaching group sessions |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Feasibility of intervention
The Feasibility of Intervention Measurement (FIM) is a previously-validated survey tool used in implementation science, and answered by participants, that uses a Likert scale from 1 to 5 to evaluate feasibility of the proposed intervention. A score greater than or equal to 4 is considered acceptable feasibility.
Measured: 12 months (All study duration)
Acceptability of intervention
The Acceptability of Intervention Measurement (AIM) is a previously-validated survey tool used in implementation science, and answered by participants, that uses a Likert scale from 1 to 5 to evaluate acceptability of the proposed intervention. A score greater than or equal to 4 is considered adequate acceptability.
Measured: 12 months (All study duration)
Rate of highly satisfied Patients
Patient-completed satisfaction questionnaires will be evaluated using a Likert scale from 1 to 5 with five being very satisfied and one being very unsatisfied. Satisfaction surveys were asked separately for the use of devices (Fitbit and smart scale), every other month follow-up calls, and every other month group sessions. An additional overall satisfaction score was also obtained for the entire intervention. High satisfaction will be considered the proportion of "somewhat satisfied" and "very satisfied" answers.
Measured: 12 months (All study duration)
Wrist activity tracker usage rate
Usage rate will be calculated as the proportion of days in which steps are logged in relation to the number of days per month.
Measured: 12 months (All study duration)
Secondary outcomes (1)
Weight change percentage
Target Weight change percentage will be considered a greater than or equal to 2.5% loss at 6 months, and greater than or equal to 5% weight loss over the course of the 12-month period.
Measured: 12 months (All study duration)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Wrist activity tracker and scale and Nutritional Coaching group sessions in people with Weight Loss and Lifestyle Factors, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 8 Feb 2024. 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?
Feasibility of intervention (time frame: 12 months (All study duration)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06249477, which also lists 15 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 8 Feb 2024.
