Trial summary

Alcoholic liver disease is the most frequent complication of excessive alcohol consumption. Early diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease is essential to avoid its complications that could be fatal. To date, the reference diagnostic tool is an invasive procedure: the liver biopsy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Interest of Transient Elastography in the Determination of Advanced Fibrosis in Alcoholic Liver Didease in Alcoholic Patients in Weaning.

Alcoholic liver disease is the most frequent complication of excessive alcohol consumption. Early diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease is essential to avoid its complications that could be fatal. To date, the reference diagnostic tool is an invasive procedure: the liver biopsy. The transient elastography is a useful tool for early diagnosis of liver fibrosis. This tool is validated in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis due to C chronic hepatitis. Because it is non-invasive, fast, given immediate results; transient elastography could be repeated in alcoholic patients for liver fibrosis follow-up. In the present study, the investigators propose to realize liver biopsy and transient elastography in 300 alcoholic patients in weaning to evaluate the transient elastography accuracy in the exclusion of sever liver fibrosis (Metavir 3 and 4). The reference liver fibrosis diagnosis tool will be the liver biopsy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Determination of Advanced Fibrosis in Alcoholic Liver Disease in people with Alcoholism and Liver Disease, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Accuracy of transient elastography will be evaluated by AUC (time frame: 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01789008, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 22 May 2023.
