New study aims to predict liver injury outcomes in thousands of patients
NCT ID NCT05060289
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will follow 3000 people in China who have drug-induced liver injury (DILI) to understand what factors affect their recovery. Researchers will collect blood samples and health data to create a model that predicts serious outcomes like liver failure or death. The goal is to improve how doctors manage DILI and identify patients who need closer monitoring.
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 could lead to a tool that helps doctors better predict who will recover or need a liver transplant after drug-induced liver injury.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The model may not work for all patients or be ready for use for many years.
