About this study

Official title: Hepatic Fibrosis Assessment Using Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

The purpose of this study is to assess degree of hepatic fibrosis using multiparametric MRI for investigating difference between normal or early fibrosis and advanced fibrosis.

Read the detailed description

In patients with liver parenchymal disease or normal liver parenchyma who are scheduled to undergo either liver resection or liver biopsy are included.

Referred patients undergo multiparametric MRI including perfusion, diffusion, elastography and fat quantification before surgery or biopsy.

The pathophysiologic changes are evaluated using multiparametric MRI, and compared between normal/early fibrosis and advanced fibrosis.

What participants receive

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

  • magnetic resonance imagingProcedure or surgery

    Also called MRI

    multiparametric MRI as follows:

    1. diffusion weighted imaging using multiple b-values
    2. Fat quantification sequence
    3. perfusion MRI using ECCM agent
    4. MR elastography ------------------------------------
    5. routine MRI using hepatocyte specific agent (optional in patients with focal liver lesion)

What is being measured

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

  1. difference of portal flow between no or early hepatic fibrosis and advanced hepatic fibrosis

    Measured: in three years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. difference of arterial flow between no or early hepatic fibrosis and advanced hepatic fibrosis

    Measured: in three years

  2. difference of liver stiffness value between no or early hepatic fibrosis and advanced fibrosis

    Measured: in three years

  3. monitoring of transient dyspnea after contrast media injection

    Measured: in three years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing magnetic resonance imaging in people with Fibrosis and Cirrhosis, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 inclusion and 0 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 17 Dec 2021. 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 South Korea. 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?

difference of portal flow between no or early hepatic fibrosis and advanced hepatic fibrosis (time frame: in three years). 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 17 Dec 2021.
