NCT ID NCT06342414

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study aims to develop a simple blood test that can tell the difference between two common types of liver cancer: hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma. Researchers will analyze tiny particles called exosomes in the blood using machine learning. The goal is to help doctors choose the right treatment without needing a biopsy first. About 400 adults with confirmed liver cancer will participate.
