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.
