Can a Home-Based program help kidney patients get stronger before transplant?
NCT ID NCT07701382
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a prehabilitation program — combining exercise, nutrition advice, and psychological support — can improve fitness and recovery in people with advanced chronic kidney disease awaiting a kidney transplant. Researchers compare an in-person, hospital-based program with a remote, home-based version using a digital platform. The goal is to see if the remote option is feasible and effective, potentially making prehabilitation more accessible.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a multimodal prehabilitation program including exercise, nutritional counseling, and psychological support
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that remote prehabilitation is as effective as in-person programs, making it easier for patients to prepare for kidney transplant without traveling to a hospital.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial focused on feasibility, so results may not apply broadly. The remote program may be less effective due to lack of direct supervision.
