Frailty Intervention Trial in End-Stage Patients on Dialysis

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The proposed investigation for this study aims to; 1) understand the prevalence and outcomes associated with frailty among haemodialysis patients; 2) ascertain the best frailty assessment tool for haemodialysis patients, and; 3) design a clinical study to explore the feasibility of facilitating, recruiting and executing a multi-disciplinary clinical and psychological intervention to improve frailty status among haemodialysis patients.

Work package 1: Firstly, there is a need to understand the prevalence and spectrum of frailty in a UK haemodialysis cohort and what impact frailty has for haemodialysis patients. To investigate this, the investigators will approach every patient on haemodialysis within the local catchment of haemodialysis units and, after informed consent, clinically phenotype their frailty status (pre- and post-haemodialysis for calculation of variability). The frailty phenotyping will encompass a number of frailty assessments (including the Edmonton Frail Scale, Clinical Frailty Scale from Rookwood score and Fried Frailty scale) to identify the ideal frailty assessment tool. All patients in this observational cohort study will be prospectively monitored for clinical/biochemical outcomes using an informatics-based approach for up to 60 months.

Work package 2: Building upon the work conducted in work package 1, work package 2 will aim to recruit 50 patients clinically phenotyped with pre-frailty from work package 1 into a feasibility study exploring a multi-disciplinary intervention to improve frailty status. Eligible patients, after informed consent, will be randomised into active or passive intervention. The active intervention will involve a dietitian and physiotherapist who have been trained and accredited with cognitive behavior intervention, utilising established behavioral intervention frameworks, to deliver a multi-disciplinary clinical intervention targeting multiple components of frailty.

The FITNESS project will therefore answer some important unanswered questions regarding frailty among the haemodialysis population and help in the design of a large multi-disciplinary intervention study if deemed feasible.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
