INSPIRE-III Trial Summary

This trial will test whether a coping skills and exercise intervention can help reduce distress and improve functional capacity for post-lung transplant patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who are at least 6 weeks post-lung transplant, on stable medications, completed pulmonary rehab in the last 18 months, and speak English. It's not for pregnant women, those unable to consent, multi-organ or repeat lung recipients, or with a life expectancy under 12 months due to other illnesses.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if coping skills training combined with exercise (CSTEX) can reduce distress and improve physical function after a lung transplant compared to standard care plus education (SOC-ED). Participants are randomly assigned to one of these two groups.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since CSTEX involves non-medical interventions like exercise and psychological training, side effects may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or strain. Psychological support is generally low-risk but could potentially bring up emotional discomfort.
