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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

Researchers at Duke University are testing whether a mobile health app, personalized nurse coaching, and social work support can help kidney transplant patients manage their health. The trial enrolls 339 adults aged 18 to 65 who live in neighborhoods with medium to high social vulnerability and who are stable at least one month after transplant. Participants are assigned to usual care, the app alone, or the app plus a dedicated social worker. The study measures changes in patient activation and blood pressure control over six months, along with self-management and medication adherence.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a mobile health app with personalized nurse coaching and social work support
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give transplant centers a low-cost way to help patients manage their medications and blood pressure, especially those in under-resourced neighborhoods.
What could go wrong
Participants must download and use an app, and some may not stick with it. The trial measures short-term changes in self-management and blood pressure, so it cannot show whether these tools prevent organ rejection or extend the life of a transplant.

Phase

Not a phased trial

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 339 people

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

Expected to start

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jan 2031

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.
