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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 pilot trial tests whether dialysis patients can follow a supervised exercise program at home using video calls. Participants will do 40 to 45 minute sessions three times a week for 12 weeks. The study focuses on whether this approach is practical and safe, and whether it might improve physical function and reduce frailty.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Home-based synchronous tele-exercise delivered via video conferencing
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a convenient way for dialysis patients to exercise at home, potentially improving physical function and reducing frailty.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, not proof of effectiveness. The exercise may be hard to sustain, and benefits might not be confirmed in larger trials.
