About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of On-Cart Liver Fat Quantification (LFQ) Feature to Assess Correlation With Magnetic Resonance Imaging Proton Density Fat Fraction (MRI-PDFF) Results

This clinical study will involve performing a series of medical imaging procedures of the abdomen using both ultrasound and MRI modalities in subjects at risk for or already diagnosed with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The primary objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the clinical feasibility of an investigational ultrasound technique for quantifying liver fat by comparing specific ultrasound-derived biomarkers with the liver fat percentage obtained from MRI Proton Density Fat Fraction (MRI-PDFF) measurements. All subjects enrolled in this study will undergo two investigational abdominal ultrasound examinations using the Philips EPIQ Ultrasound System and one MRI PDFF examination according to the clinical standard of care.

What is being measured

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

Correlation of the Liver Fat Percentage Reported From MRI-PDFF With Measurements Hepatorenal Index (HRI) of Ultrasound Biomarkers for Liver Fat.
For each biomarker per subject, multiple quantitative measurements were acquired on the same day by two different operators. The difference between the two operators was calculated at the subject level by averaging multiple measurements. To assess the correlation between measurements derived from the investigational LFQ feature and the 'clinical' MRI-PDFF fat fraction obtained from the subject's medical record. A higher HRI value indicates greater liver fat accumulation, which reflects a worse outcome, while a lower HRI suggests less hepatic fat and a better outcome.
Measured: Intra-procedural (1 day)
Correlation of the Liver Fat Percentage Reported From MRI-PDFF With Measurements of Acoustic Attenuation (dB/cm/MHZ) Ultrasound Biomarker for Liver Fat.
For each biomarker per subject, multiple quantitative measurements were acquired on the same day by two different operators. To assess the correlation between subject averaged measurements derived from the investigational LFQ feature and the 'clinical' MRI-PDFF fat fraction obtained from the subject's medical record.
Correlation of each ultrasound biomarker with the liver fat percentage reported from MRI-PDFF is assessed independently to evaluate individual biomarker performance. A higher attenuation value indicates worse liver condition, while a lower attenuation value suggests better liver status.
Measured: Intra-procedural (1 day)
Correlation of the Liver Fat Percentage Reported From MRI-PDFF With Measurements of Tissue Stiffness (kPa) Ultrasound Biomarker for Liver Fat.
For each biomarker per subject, multiple quantitative measurements were acquired on the same day by two different operators. To assess the correlation between subject averaged measurements derived from the investigational LFQ feature and the 'clinical' MRI-PDFF fat fraction obtained from the subject's medical record. This measured the MRI PDFF fat fraction used as the standard to evaluate the Tissue stiffness (kPa) measurements.
Correlation of each ultrasound biomarker with the liver fat percentage reported from MRI-PDFF is assessed independently to evaluate individual biomarker performance.
Measured: Intra-procedural (1 day)

Secondary outcomes (6)

To Evaluate the Same-day Inter-operator Variability for Investigating Biomarker "Hepatorenal Index (HRI)"
To assess the difference in quantitative ultrasound biomarker measurements which acquired from the same subject on the same day by two different operators who have undergone standardized training for LFQ data acquisition. The difference between the two operators was calculated at the subject level by averaging multiple measurements. A higher HRI value indicates greater liver fat accumulation, which reflects a worse outcome, while a lower HRI suggests less hepatic fat and a better outcome.
Measured: Intra-procedural (1 day)

To evaluate the LFQ data acquisition failure rate, the proportion of subjects who have at least one unacceptable image quality due to inadequate acoustic scanning windows, motion artifacts, or other technical limitations

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 23 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Jan 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Correlation of the Liver Fat Percentage Reported From MRI-PDFF With Measurements Hepatorenal Index (HRI) of Ultrasound Biomarkers for Liver Fat. (time frame: Intra-procedural (1 day)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04657523.

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 23 Jan 2026.
