About this study

This study will evaluate the association of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and coronary artery disease. All patients presenting for coronary angiogram will receive the following examination:

  • Transient Elastography and Controlled Attenuation Parameter using the FibroScan
  • blood examination including biochemical markers The results of non-invasive liver steatosis and fibrosis measurement are compared with the results of coronary angiogram concerning the presence or absence of coronary artery disease.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Transient Elastography (FibroScan), Echosens, Paris, FranceDevice

  • Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP), Echosens, Paris, FranceDevice

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Liver fibrosis scores I-IV (METAVIR)

    METAVIR fibrosis scores:

    I = mild fibrosis II = significant fibrosis III = advanced fibrosis IV = cirrhosis

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Steatosis fibrosis scores I-III

    Steatosis scores:

    0 = <5% I = 5-33% II = 33-66% III = >66%

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transient Elastography (FibroScan), Echosens, Paris, France in people with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), run by Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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

Contact Mireen Friedrich-Rust, MD (Mireen.Friedrich-Rust@kgu.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Liver fibrosis scores I-IV (METAVIR). 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.
