What participants receive

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

  • Non-contrast low-dose abdomen CTDiagnostic test

    target effective dose: < 1.5 mSv It is performed twice in 6-month interval.

  • FibroscanDiagnostic test

    Fibroscan is performed within a week of low-dose CT. It is used as a reference standard of hepatic fibrosis and steatosis.

  • bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)Diagnostic test

    Also called Inbody test (commercial name)

    BIA test is performed on the same day of low-dose CT. Commercially available model (Inbody 270) is used.

Study groups in NCT05695118
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
non-contrast low-dose abdomen CTExperimentalnon-contrast low-dose abdomen CT (target effective dose: < 1.5 mSv). CT based body composition analysis is performedd with commercially available automatic segmentation software (DeepCatch, Medical IP, South Korea).
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Non-contrast low-dose abdomen CT; Diagnostic Test: Fibroscan; Diagnostic Test: bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)

What is being measured

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

  1. relationship between body composition analysis result from CT and liver fat fraction

    relationship between visceral fat volume fraction (obtained from CT analysis using automatic body segmentation, unitless (visceral fat fraction = visceral fat volume/total body volume)) and CAP value of fibroscan

    Measured: 6 month after CT acquisition

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. ratio of appropriate non-contrast low dose abdomen CT acquisition & analysis

    Number of CT scan with effective dose < 1.5 mSv AND successful automatic body composition analysis (without manual editing) divided by total number of CT scan

    Measured: 6 month after CT acquisition

  2. relationship between body composition analysis result from CT and hepatic fibrosis

    relationship between visceral fat volume fraction (CT analysis using automatic body segmentation, unitless (visceral fat fraction = visceral fat volume/total body volume)) and liver stiffness value of fibroscan

    Measured: 6 month after CT acquisition

  3. agreement between body composition analysis result from CT and bioelectrical impedance analysis (Inbody test)

    agreement of visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, muscle amount between CT based body composition and Inbody test results

    Measured: 6 month after CT acquisition

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Non-contrast low-dose abdomen CT, Fibroscan and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in people with Fatty Liver, 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 3 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Aug 2023. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

relationship between body composition analysis result from CT and liver fat fraction (time frame: 6 month after CT acquisition). 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 18 Aug 2023.
