Trial summary

Transient elastography is a new non-invasive rapid and reproducible method, allowing evaluating liver fibrosis by measurement of liver stiffness. The aim of our study is to evaluate if the liver stiffness can predict the recurrence of upper variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients hospitalized for variceal rupture. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Can Liver Stiffness Values Predict Early Rebleeding in Variceal Rupture

Transient elastography is a new non-invasive rapid and reproducible method, allowing evaluating liver fibrosis by measurement of liver stiffness.

The aim of our study is to evaluate if the liver stiffness can predict the recurrence of upper variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients hospitalized for variceal rupture.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fibroscan in people with Bleeding, run by University Hospital, Rouen at 4 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Mar 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: lack of recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bleeding recurrence rate (time frame: J45 post first hemorrage). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Mar 2013.
