NCT ID NCT04364126
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether kidney transplant recipients with high blood pressure could better control their condition by monitoring their blood pressure at home, compared to standard clinic visits. The trial planned to enroll many participants but was stopped early after only 21 people joined. The goal was to see if home monitoring leads to lower blood pressure and better treatment satisfaction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help kidney transplant patients manage their blood pressure more effectively at home, potentially reducing heart risks.
What could go wrong
The trial was terminated early with only 21 participants, so results are limited and may not apply broadly. Home monitoring may not improve outcomes for everyone.
