Study summary

Low physical activity is associated with in hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration (HDF) patients. Previous studies showed the benefits of intradialytic exercise for improvement of physical fitness and hemodialysis adequacy. However, the effect of intradialytic exercise on physical activity has not been explored. This current open-labelled randomized controlled trial is conducted in HDF patients to determine the effect of intradialytic exercise program for 6 months on daily physical activity measured by tri-axial accelerometer (wearable device).

Read the detailed description

The study is an open-labelled randomized controlled trial which compare the changes of daily physical activity measured by tri-axial accelerometer (wearable device) between the HDF patients in intradialytic exercise group and control during the 6-month period. After inclusion in to the study, all of the participants will be evaluated before randomized. The investigators will prescribe the exercise program for each participant in the exercise group. The exercise program use intradialytic cycling which will be gradually increased to at least 30 minutes with moderate intensity. The participants in control group will receive dialysis as usual without intradialytic exercise prescription. The participants will go on the program for at least 6-months period. In each session, any adverse event or side effect will be reported.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change of daily physical activity at 6 months

    Every participant will be monitored their daily physical activity by wearable tri-axial accelerometer (Fitbit) before and at 6 months to observe changes in daily physical activity.

    Time frame: at 0 and 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Dialysis adequacy as measured by kt/V

    Adequacy of dialysis will be monitor at baseline and 6 month

    Time frame: at 6 months

  2. Aerobic exercise capacity as measured by VO2 max

    Aerobic exercise capacity parameters including VO2 max (maximal oxygen consumption) will be measured at baseline and 6 month

    Time frame: at 6 months

  3. Body composition (lean and fat body mass)

    The baseline body composition measurements and body composition at 6 months will be measured by DXA scan and bioimpedance spectroscopy

    Time frame: at 6 months

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Nov 2017 to primary completion in Jun 2018, 7 months.

Of 347 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Kidney Failure, Chronic, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 47. This study's 7 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 425 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 46.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 26, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
