NCT ID NCT05623150

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is recruiting 710 adults with fatty liver disease or alcohol-related liver disease, with or without cirrhosis, to understand why some develop liver cancer. Researchers will analyze genetic markers, immune factors, and imaging data from routine liver biopsies and blood samples. The goal is to find early molecular clues that could one day help predict or prevent liver cancer.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help identify people at high risk for liver cancer earlier, potentially leading to better monitoring or prevention strategies.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly lead to new therapies, and results may take years to translate into clinical practice.
