NCT ID NCT06755632

First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study aims to find undiagnosed cases of advanced liver fibrosis and viral hepatitis B and C in the general population of Seine Saint Denis, France. Using a combination of rapid diagnostic tests and a portable liver stiffness scanner (FibroScan), researchers will screen 600 adults in community settings. The goal is to measure how common these conditions are and to refer people who test positive to specialist care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this screening approach could identify many undiagnosed cases of liver disease and connect people to care earlier, potentially reducing complications and deaths.
What could go wrong
This is an observational screening study, not a treatment trial. It will measure how common liver fibrosis and hepatitis are, but it does not test any new therapy or intervention.
