What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing

Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial tests whether a guided exercise program done during hospital hemodialysis sessions can improve physical capacity and quality of life in adults with chronic kidney disease. Participants will perform strength and balance exercises for their arms and legs while receiving dialysis. The study measures changes in mobility, mood, and overall well-being to see if exercise can counteract the muscle loss and fatigue common in long-term dialysis patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a therapeutic exercise program performed during hemodialysis sessions
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help kidney disease patients maintain strength and mobility while undergoing dialysis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply to all dialysis patients. Exercise during treatment may be difficult for some and could cause discomfort or injury.
