Feasibility Study for the Comprehensive Overweight/Obesity Management Pre-Kidney Transplant (COMPKT) Program
This study is looking at a new program called COMPKT to help people who are overweight or obese and waiting for a kidney transplant. The program includes education on weight loss based on American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) guidelines, and tools like a calorie app, continuous glucose monitor (CGM), and special scales to help with healthy lifestyle choices. Researchers will also take blood samples to check biomarkers like eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate), which helps measure kidney function. The main goals are to see how this program affects your quality of life and eating habits over 40 weeks. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, on the kidney transplant waiting list at VCUHS, and have a BMI (Body Mass Index) greater than 35 kg/m2. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 30 participants.
- Study design
- This is a single-arm study, meaning all participants receive the same intervention. It aims to enroll 30 participants.
- What's involved
- You would participate in weekly education for the first 12 weeks, then monthly education for several more months. You would also complete meal recall surveys at specific times and a quality of life survey at the beginning and end of the 40-week study.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your quality of life will be measured at week 40. Meal recall surveys will be completed up to week 28, and education continues up to week 36.

What this trial measures
- Quality of Life-Lite surveyOnly completed at baseline and week 40
Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite (IWQOL-Lite©) Screening. IWQOL-Lite© is a validated, 31-item, self-report measure of obesity-specific quality of life in adults. The scale structure of the IWQOL-Lite has been verified with confirmatory factor analysis. In addition to a total score, there are scores on five domains: Physical function (11 items) Self-esteem (7 items) Sexual life (4 items) Public distress (5 items) Work (4 items) Scores range from 0 to 100, with 100 representing the best quality of life.
- Meal recall surveycompleted at weeks 1, 4, 8, 12, 20 and 28
A meal recall survey, also known as a 24-hour dietary recall, is a structured interview that asks a person to recall what they ate and drank in the previous 24 hours. The goal is to gather detailed information about a person's diet, including portion sizes, cooking methods, and time of consumption. This information can be used to identify dietary patterns, assess nutrient intake, and develop nutrition recommendations
