NCT ID NCT06326905

First seen Oct 31, 2025

Summary

This study tests a program called CAPABLE Transplant, where an occupational therapist, a nurse, and a handy worker visit people at home over 4 months. The goal is to help kidney transplant candidates who are currently inactive on the waitlist become active again, and to improve their quality of life, mood, and physical function. The study includes 43 adults who are on the deceased donor waitlist and either inactive or active but low-income.
