NCT ID NCT04172779

Summary

This study is testing whether a low dose of the cancer drug erlotinib can prevent liver cancer from developing in people who have advanced liver scarring (cirrhosis). Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo for one year. Researchers will track changes in blood markers linked to cancer risk and monitor side effects to see if this approach is safe and effective.
