Could a quick liver scan replace needle biopsies for MASH in diabetics?
NCT ID NCT07632677
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new, non-invasive liver scan called iLivTouch to see if it can accurately detect a serious liver condition called MASH in people who have both type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease. The scan measures liver inflammation, fat, and stiffness without any needles. Researchers aim to enroll 10,000 adults in China to see if this tool can reliably diagnose MASH, potentially reducing the need for invasive liver biopsies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
iLivTouch (non-invasive liver scan)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simple, needle-free way to diagnose MASH in people with diabetes and fatty liver, replacing invasive biopsies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The new index may not be accurate enough to replace biopsies, and results may not apply outside China.
