Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients who underwent curative treatment for HCC including surgical resection or local ablation and have a more than a two-year disease-free period, needing continuous surveillance for the development of HCC will be candidates for this study.

Who may be able to join

  • Age between 20-year old and 85-year old
  • Patients with a history of curative treatment for HCC including surgical resection or local ablation
  • No recurrence after curative treatment of HCC for more than two years
  • Patient who has the plan to perform contrast-enhanced liver CT for secondary surveillance for HCC (i.e., to detect de novo or recurrent HCC)

Who cannot join

  • Estimated GFR less than 60
  • Previous history of severe allergic reaction to the iodinated contrast agent

What participants receive

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

  • non-contrast abbreviated MRIDiagnostic test

    Liver MRI without contrast injection. The following sequences will be obtained from all of the participants.

    • Axial heavily and regular T2 WI
    • precontrast fat-suppressed T1 WI
    • Diffusion-weighted image using b-value of 0, 50 or 400, and 800 or 1000
  • Contrast enhanced liver CTDiagnostic test

    Liver CT with iodine contrast injection This test will be served as a standard diagnostic test. The following phases will be obtained

    • precontast, arterial phase, portal venous phase and delayed phase

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy per patient

    Accuracy for detection of recurrent HCC per patient

    Measured: Within 6 months from the study completion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Specificity per patient

    Specificity for detection of recurrent HCC per patient

    Measured: Within 6 months from the study completion

  2. Sensitivity per patient

    Sensitivity for detection of recurrent HCC per patient

    Measured: Within 6 months from the study completion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 3 sites 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 4 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 25 Jun 2024. 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 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?

Accuracy per patient (time frame: Within 6 months from the study completion). 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 25 Jun 2024.
