NCT ID NCT07148310

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing a new blood test called delta-HLD to see if it can accurately detect liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma). Researchers will compare blood and tissue samples from 200 people, half with liver cancer and half with liver cirrhosis but no cancer. If the test works well, it could offer a less invasive way to catch liver cancer earlier.
