About this study
Official title: Effects of Exercise and Dietary Counselling in Reducing the Cardiovascular Risk Score in Kidney Transplant Patients: KT- LIFESTYLE Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether, over an observation period of 3 years, there is a reduction in cardiovascular risk, and the extent of this reduction, in a group of adult kidney transplant patients undergoing tailored exercise combined with dietary counselling compared to a group of patients following the 'standard of care'.
Read the detailed description
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Prescribed exercise and dietary counselling could reduce of at least 1% in the cardiovascular risk score (by Framingham score) and cardiovascular biomarkers in kidney transplant recipients?
- How much can a lifestyle intervention affect kidney function, quality of life and the gut microbiota in this patient population?
Researchers will compare kidney transplant recipients undergoing tailored exercise combined with dietary counselling compared to a group of patients following the 'standard of care' to see if there is a reduction in cardiovascular risk, BMI, inflammatory markers, improve of gut microbiota and perception of quality of life. In addition, a number of hospital admissions for important clinical events, the number of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events (MACE), and mortality from all causes will be assessed in the long term.
Participants will enroll from the Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplant Units and randomize in intervantion group (A) or control (B).
In group A/intervention, a tailored exercise programme combined with specific dietary counselling will be prescribed, in group B/control, generic advice on healthy lifestyles will be given (standard of care) without specific prescription.
In all patients, quality of life, gut microbiota, inflammatory and cardiovascular biomarkers (Framingham score, BNP, etc.), lipid profile and renal function over time will be assessed.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Cardiovascular risk reduction
reduction of at least 1% in the cardiovascular risk score - Framingham score - over the observation time. This score estimates the risk of developing a cardiovascular event over a 10-year period and is calculated in relation to the outcome from the following identifiable variables in normal clinical practice:
- Sex
- Age
- Systolic pressure value
- Treatment for hypertension (yes/no)
- Smoker (yes/no)
- Diabetes (yes/no)
- HDL value
- Total cholesterol value
Measured: From enrollment to the end of the treatment (3 years)
Secondary outcomes (7)
Renal function
The trend of renal function assess by eGFR using the CKD-EPI formula
Measured: From enrollment to the end of the treatment (3 years)
Gut microbiota analysis
The relative abundances of the main intestinal bacterial groups and hence the effect of physical exercise on the gut microbiota
Measured: From enrollment to the end of the treatment (3 years)
Inflammatory status
The variation of the inflammatory status (by CRP analysis, IL-6, ferritin, cortisol)
Measured: From enrollment to the end of the treatment (3 years)
Quality of Life (QoL)
The perception of quality of life through the SF12 questionnaire (composite items of physical and mental health)
Measured: From enrollment to the end of the treatment (3 years)
Adherence to the lifestyle intervention
Adherence to dedicated counseling through IPAQ questionnaire to assess physical activity and food frequency questionnaire to assess diet
Measured: From enrollment to the end of the treatment (3 years)
Cost-effectiveness of a healthy lifestyle intervention
number of hospital admissions for major clinical events
Measured: From enrollment to the end of the treatment (3 years)
Cardiovascular biomarkers
the trend of biomarkers related to cardiovascular risk (lipid profile, BNP)
Measured: From enrollment to the end of the treatment (3 years)

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether, over an observation period of 3 years, there is a reduction in cardiovascular risk, and the extent of this reduction, in a group of adult kidney transplant patients undergoing tailored exercise combined with dietary counselling compared to a group of patients following the 'standard of care'.
Detailed description
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Prescribed exercise and dietary counselling could reduce of at least 1% in the cardiovascular risk score (by Framingham score) and cardiovascular biomarkers in kidney transplant recipients?
- How much can a lifestyle intervention affect kidney function, quality of life and the gut microbiota in this patient population?
Researchers will compare kidney transplant recipients undergoing tailored exercise combined with dietary counselling compared to a group of patients following the 'standard of care' to see if there is a reduction in cardiovascular risk, BMI, inflammatory markers, improve of gut microbiota and perception of quality of life. In addition, a number of hospital admissions for important clinical events, the number of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events (MACE), and mortality from all causes will be assessed in the long term.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing lifestyle intervention in people with Kidney Transplant Recipients, run by IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna at 1 site in Italy.
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 12 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2025. 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 Italy. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Giuseppe Tarantino, MD (0512144912, giuseppe.tarantino@aosp.bo.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Cardiovascular risk reduction (time frame: From enrollment to the end of the treatment (3 years)). 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 NCT06806670, which also lists 16 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 4 Feb 2025.
