First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a program called CAPABLE Transplant, where an occupational therapist, nurse, and 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, depression, and physical ability. The study includes 43 adults on the deceased donor waitlist and will first test the program in an open-label pilot before a larger randomized trial.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- home visits by an occupational therapist, nurse, and handy worker
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could help more kidney transplant candidates become active on the waitlist and improve their daily functioning and mood.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage pilot (43 people) testing feasibility, so it may not lead to broad changes. Results may not apply to all waitlist candidates.
