About this study

Official title: A Prospective Cohort Study to Compare Contrast Enhanced Liver CT and Ultrasonography for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Surveillance in High-risk Group of HCC: Preliminary Study

The purpose of this study is to compare sensitivity for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) of bi-annual ultrasonography and low dose computed tomography (LDCT) in patients at high risk of HCC.

Read the detailed description

Patients at high risk of HCC are recommended to undergo biannual surveillance using ultrasound. In this study, LDCT is performed in addition to biannual ultrasound surveillance in eligible patients to compare their sensitivity for HCC. Standard of reference would be follow-up imaging and/or gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
High risk group of HCCknown high risk group of HCC according to AASLD guideline. And patients whose risk index is equal to or higher than 2.33. Risk Index = 1.65 (if the prothrombin activity is <=75%) + 1.41 (if the age is 50 years or older) + 0.92 (if the platelet count is <=100x10(3)/mm3) + 0.74 (if the presence of anti-hepatitis C virus [HCV] or hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] is positive). Patients undergo ultrasonography and LDCT using non-ionic monomer iodinated CT contrast media biannually and the interval between ultrasound and LDCT is within 30 days.
Receives: Drug: non-ionic monomer iodinated CT contrast media

What is being measured

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

  1. Detection rate of patients with HCC

    from the 1st LDCT/US screening to six months follow-up after last (12 months after 1st LDCT/US) LDCT/US screening

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Detection rate of patients with early HCC

    from the 1st LDCT/US screening to six months follow-up after last (12 months after 1st LDCT/US) LDCT/US screening

    Measured: 18 months

  2. False referral rate

    from the 1st LDCT/US screening to six months follow-up after last (12 month after 1st LDCT/US) LDCT/US screening

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HCC, 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 6 inclusion and 4 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 8 Oct 2020. 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?

Detection rate of patients with HCC (time frame: 18 months). 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 8 Oct 2020.
