XFIT: Exercise for Frailty in Lung Transplant Candidates
This study, called XFIT, is testing an 8-week exercise and behavior change program delivered through telehealth (video calls) for people who are candidates for a lung transplant and are experiencing frailty (weakness and reduced physical function). The program, called XFIT, aims to help you improve your physical activity from home. Researchers want to see if XFIT is safe, practical, and helps improve frailty and physical function. You could be eligible if you are between 18 and 65, speak English or Spanish, and meet certain physical criteria, including a specific score on a physical performance test (SPPB score ≤ 10). The main goal is to measure safety, looking at things like death, major heart problems, or multiple unplanned hospital stays within 8 weeks.
- Study design
- This study plans to enroll 70 participants who will be randomly assigned to either the XFIT program or enhanced standard care. It is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment.
- What's involved
- Participants will engage in 8 weekly sessions of the XFIT program, delivered via video conference, or receive enhanced standard of care. These sessions involve one-on-one exercise training and behavioral support.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary outcomes, such as death and major cardiovascular events, are measured at 8 weeks.
