500,000-Patient study aims to unlock secrets of chronic liver disease
NCT ID NCT05744713
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study will follow up to 500,000 adults with chronic liver disease or cirrhosis to understand how the disease progresses and how treatments are used in everyday practice. Researchers will collect data from medical records and patient reports to improve care and outcomes. No new treatments are being tested; instead, the goal is to gather real-world evidence to guide future care.
What this could mean

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into how chronic liver disease progresses and how current treatments work in real-world settings.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test new therapies. Results may take years and might not lead to immediate changes in care.
