Trial summary

Background: The XL probe of FibroScan was recently developed to realize liver stiffness measurements (LSM) in overweight patients. Severe obese patients have a high prevalence of liver injuries and could benefit of liver evaluation prior to bariatric surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Diagnostic of Hepatic Fibrosis With the XL Probe of the Fibroscan Versus Biopsies in Severe Obese Patients Candidates to Bariatric Surgery

Background:

The XL probe of FibroScan was recently developed to realize liver stiffness measurements (LSM) in overweight patients.

Severe obese patients have a high prevalence of liver injuries and could benefit of liver evaluation prior to bariatric surgery.

Objectives:

Assess the FibroScan applicability, reliability and diagnostic performances in severe obese patients' candidates for bariatric surgery.

Being tested
Evaluation of the Diagnostic of Hepatic Fibrosis With the XL Probe of the Fibroscan Versus Biopsies in Severe Obese Patients Candidates to Bariatric Surgery
Medical subject headings
Fatty Liver, Obesity, Liver Cirrhosis

What is being measured

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

  1. Elasticity measured with the Fibroscan XL

    Liver elasticity will be measured non-invasively with Fibroscan. As this is a non-invasive measure, no adverse effects are expected. No treatment planned.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 53/5000 Evolution of elasticity after bariatric surgery

    The evolution of elasticity will be measured non-invasively with fibroscan after bariatric surgery. NO adverse effects are expected in relation to this measure.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Steatosis and Obesity, run by European Georges Pompidou Hospital.

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 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 7 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Elasticity measured with the Fibroscan XL (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT03548597, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Jun 2018.
