Phase 2 — Testing in a bigger group (up to a few hundred people) to see if the treatment actually works and is still safe.
People with chronic kidney disease often struggle with exercise because their blood pressure spikes too much and their muscles don't get enough oxygen. This study is testing whether a combination of regular exercise on a stationary bike and a medication called — or just exercise alone — can help their bodies handle physical activity better. The researchers will also test whether common sports supplements might help.

You will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: either exercise on a stationary bike or gentle stretching exercises, combined with either the study medication or a placebo. You'll attend sessions 3 times per week for 6 to 12 weeks, exercising or stretching for 20–45 minutes each time. Before and after the program, the researchers will measure your blood pressure, muscle oxygen levels, and how your blood vessels respond to stress.
