What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

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.

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 84 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Jul 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

May 2029

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
