Fast-MRI could spot liver cancer earlier than ultrasound alone
NCT ID NCT05095714
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares adding a quick MRI scan (fast-MRI) to standard ultrasound every six months for detecting early-stage liver cancer in people with cirrhosis who are at high risk. About 944 participants will be randomly assigned to either ultrasound alone or ultrasound plus fast-MRI. The goal is to see if the combined approach finds more early cancers and is cost-effective.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Liver fast-MRI scan
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make fast-MRI the standard screening tool for early liver cancer in high-risk patients, catching more cancers at a curable stage.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase NA study, so results are not yet proven. Fast-MRI is more expensive and may not be cost-effective or widely available. The trial is still recruiting.
