What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares two contrast-enhanced ultrasound scoring systems (LI-RADS and ESCULAP) to see which one better detects recurrent liver cancer in 105 patients who have had surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma. The goal is to improve diagnostic accuracy for new liver lesions. Participants will receive a contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and results will be checked against biopsy or follow-up data.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (with injected contrast agent)
What this could lead to
If this study succeeds, it could help doctors more accurately detect returning liver cancer after surgery, potentially leading to earlier treatment.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage diagnostic comparison study, not a treatment trial. The results may not change current practice, and the methods may not work equally well for all patients.

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * (1) At least 18 years old; (2) Has a previous history of liver cell cancer surgery or ablation, and has a newly developed liver lesion this time; (3) The new lesion completed a complete contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination within two weeks before the final diagnosis, and the dynamic imaging data is completely preserved; (4) The new lesion has a clear pathological or clinical diagnosis. Exclusion Criteria: * (1) The quality of contrast-enhanced ultrasound images is poor, making it impossible to assess the critical phases; (2) New lesions that have been treated locally or systemically.
