Study in advanced liver scarring using pressure and stiffness tests
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at people over 18 who have advanced, long-term liver scarring. It uses specialized measurements of liver stiffness and pressure to confirm eligibility and may help doctors better understand this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years (and under 100 years)
- Have advanced, long-term liver scarring
- Advanced liver scarring must be confirmed by one of these: liver stiffness test (about ≥10kPa), pressure test in the liver (HVPG >5 mmHg), or a liver biopsy showing F3 or F4
- Be willing to sign a written consent form to join the study

This study uses a simple ultrasound-based test (FibroScan) to check liver stiffness and predict whether you have high pressure in the veins around the liver. It aims to see if a new set of criteria can safely tell who needs an endoscopy, helping avoid unnecessary procedures.
This trial is for people with liver problems and high blood pressure in the veins of the liver (called portal hypertension). It will look at how the condition affects patients with and without cirrhosis (scarring of the liver).
This study looks at whether measuring spleen stiffness and simple blood tests can predict if the liver will recover in people with decompensated cirrhosis. It may help doctors know which patients can improve with treatment.
This trial compares a newer, less invasive method (using an endoscope) to measure pressure in the liver's blood vessels with the standard technique. It may help people with liver disease or suspected cirrhosis better understand their condition.
This study tests a new way to measure liver scarring using a non-invasive ultrasound of the spleen (spleen stiffness measurement). It's for people with fatty liver disease (MASLD) who have advanced fibrosis (scarring) to see if this method can accurately detect the severity of liver damage.
This study follows people with advanced chronic liver disease to understand how their condition changes over time. If you have cirrhosis or high liver stiffness, you may be able to join to help researchers track the disease and learn more about it.
