About this study

aimed to develop a scoring system to assess risk of developing HCC in a large cohort of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients with advanced hepatic fibrosis (F3) or cirrhosis (F4) with sustained virological response (SVR) after receiving direct acting antivirals (DAAs).

Read the detailed description

Current guidelines recommend biannual surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in all patients with cirrhosis. However, risk of HCC incidence is not the same for different patients. The study aimed to develop a scoring system to assess risk of developing HCC in a large cohort of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients with advanced hepatic fibrosis (F3) or cirrhosis (F4) with sustained virological response (SVR) after receiving direct acting antivirals (DAAs).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HCC, run by Egyptian Liver 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 2 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 26 Nov 2019. 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?

Rate of HCC incidence after viral clearance (time frame: 12-45 months after SVR). 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 26 Nov 2019.
