New tool aims to fairly assess older adults for kidney transplants
NCT ID NCT07419945
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a kidney transplant-specific comprehensive geriatric assessment (KT-CGA) can improve how older adults (60+) are evaluated for kidney transplants. Fifty participants will either receive the KT-CGA plus usual care or usual care alone. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable, and how it affects transplant decisions and quality of life.

- Kidney transplant-specific comprehensive geriatric assessment (KT-CGA)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a better way to evaluate older adults for kidney transplants, potentially improving access and outcomes for this age group.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study (50 participants) testing feasibility, not effectiveness. It may not show clear benefits or be too early to change practice.
