BACKGROUND: Following identification of barriers to living-donor kidney transplantation, and subsequent development of a multicomponent intervention, we undertook a feasibility trial of the intervention.
TRIAL DESIGN: Two-arm, parallel group, pragmatic, individually-randomised, controlled, feasibility trial, comparing the new intervention with usual care, with a mixed-methods parallel process evaluation. Based at two UK hospitals.
PARTICIPANTS: Individuals were eligible if ≥18 years old, active on the kidney transplant waiting list or had been referred for transplant listing without a contraindication to transplantation. Individuals with a living-donor undergoing surgical assessment were excluded.
INTERVENTION: i) A meeting between a home educator for a dedicated discussion about living-donor kidney transplantation, living kidney donation and potential donors;ii) A standardized letter from a healthcare professional to a candidate's potential donors;iii) A home-based education and family engagement session undertaken by a living kidney donor and a nurse specialist.
OBJECTIVE: To establish the acceptability and feasibility i) of delivering the developed intervention in existing care pathways, and ii) of undertaking a randomised controlled trial of the intervention.
PRIMARY OUTCOMES: Recruitment and retention.
RANDOMISATION: Participants were randomly allocated 1:1 to i) the intervention or ii) usual care, stratified by site. Minimisation was used to ensure balance in sex, age group, and socioeconomic strata, with probability weighting of 0.8.
RESULTS: 183 people were invited to participate. 62 people (34% recruitment) were randomised. 62/62 (100%) completed nurse assessed follow-up at 6 weeks. 51/62 (82%) completed follow-up questionnaires. 3/30 (10%) in the usual care arm and 9/32 (28%) in the intervention arm had individuals ask to be tested for living kidney donation following recruitment to the trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Intervention and trial delivery are feasible and acceptable. Findings have informed the design of an effectiveness and cost-effectiveness trial.
