Overview

This study aims to analyze non-invasive characterization focal liver lesions in patients with liver cirrhosis. The diagnostic accuracy and predictive value of non-invasive methods is studied.

Description

This study aims to analyze non-invasive characterization focal liver lesions in patients with liver cirrhosis. The diagnostic accuracy and predictive value of non-invasive methods is studied.

Upon diagnosis multiparametric ultrasound imaging of the lesions as well as sarcopenia parameters are performed for characterization of the lesions. For primary endpoint the results are then analyzed with regard to diagnostic accuracy compared to gold standard (CT, MRI or histology). For secondary endpoint, predictive value of the non-invasive diagnostics are analyzed with regards to mortality and response to treatment.

All work up, treatment and follow up are applied in standard of care fashion.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • all patients with focal liver lesions and liver cirrhosis

Exclusion Criteria:

  • no consent
  • under 18 years

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
