Biopsy-based study for alcohol and metabolic liver disease
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies people with liver disease linked to alcohol use or metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like weight gain and insulin resistance). It uses recent standard-of-care liver biopsy results to better understand these chronic liver problems and how they relate to cancer risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must live in France and be covered by French social security
- You must be age 18 or older and able to understand the study and sign consent
- You must have had a liver biopsy in the last 3 months (for a suspected liver issue/cancer or abnormal liver tests/ultrasound fat)
- If you drink alcohol, your intake must fit one of the study’s alcohol limits (or include binge drinking for the alcohol group)
- You must not have had blood-thinning cancer medicines for liver cancer in the last 6 months
- You must not have certain other liver diseases or major immune/organ conditions (see screening questions below)

This study builds a research library of biological samples (like tissue and blood) from people with chronic liver disease. It aims to create better lab and preclinical models of tumors and long-term liver problems, which may help future treatments.
This study is looking for new ways to detect liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with fatty liver disease (NAFLD, NASH, MASLD, or MASH). If you qualify, you will give a blood sample to help identify biomarkers that could replace biopsies.
This study compares new, non-invasive tests to standard liver biopsy for diagnosing fatty liver disease in people with type 2 diabetes or other signs of metabolic syndrome. It aims to see if these simpler tests can replace biopsies.
This study looks at what drives non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and how it affects the body, including immune-related changes. You may be invited if you have confirmed fatty liver disease or, alternatively, if you are a healthy person with no liver disease.
This study follows adults with nonalcohol-related fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to better understand the condition and what factors affect it. It may help researchers learn which patients are most at risk and how care can be improved in the future.
This study collects information about metabolic and unexplained (cryptogenic) liver disease and looks at “omics” tests, which are lab tests that measure patterns in blood or tissue to learn what drives the disease. It may help researchers better understand fatty liver and related serious complications, like liver scarring and liver cancer.
