Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this trial is to investigate whether a combined dietary and exercise intervention, added to standard care, reduces the expected frequency of insulin resistance in renal (kidney) transplant recipients on tacrolimus.


Clinical Trial Description

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), prospective (study following participants forward in time), single-arm, multi-center (conducted in more than 1 center), interventional pilot study of the effects of a combined dietary and exercise intervention on glucose metabolism. The duration of this study will be 6 months and will include following visits: Baseline, Week 4, Week 12, and Week 24. Dietary compliance will be evaluated with a 3-day food record and during weekly telephone conversations and face-to-face visits with a dietician. Exercise compliance will be measured using an exercise log presented to the co-ordinator at the end of each month. Primarily, participants with insulin resistance will be assessed by Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) of greater than 1 at 6 months. Participants' safety and tolerability will be monitored throughout the study. ;
