What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether artificial intelligence can more accurately predict which patients on the liver transplant waiting list are at highest risk of dying or becoming too sick for surgery. Researchers will follow 630 adults with severe liver disease or liver cancer across five European countries, collecting blood, urine, and tissue samples along with detailed health data. The goal is to validate new AI-based models that could eventually replace current scoring systems and improve how donor livers are allocated.

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 fairer and more accurate systems for allocating donor livers to the patients who need them most urgently.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly help participants. The AI models may not prove more accurate than current methods.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult \[age 18;70\] patients listed for: * decompensated cirrhosis as primary diagnosis, irrespective of liver disease etiology (subset1) OR * other end-stage liver diseases requiring LT, listed under MELD offering schemes (subset 2), including notably but not exclusively cholestatic diseases, primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis (subset 2) OR * HCC as primary diagnosis, whatever the etiology of the underlying liver disease with or without underlying cirrhosis (subset 3). (HCC diagnosed on Barcelona/EASL criteria or histologically proven. HCC meeting or not Milan criteria, as per center practice.) * Patients registered on national waiting lists under the MELD offering schemes, regardless of extra MELD points are affected or not. * Patient (or trusted person, family member or close relation, if the patient is unable to express consent) who has been informed and signed the informed consent. * Patient affiliated with a health insurance scheme (beneficiary or entitled party). Exclusion Criteria: * Tumor vascular invasion (portal or hepatic veins) evidenced by imaging on pre transplantation work-up, including PVT stage 1 * Extra-hepatic metastasis of HCC, as assessed by sectional imaging, functional imaging (18 FDG PET CT/MRI) or histologically proven * Women who are pregnant or nursing * Patients who are under safeguard of justice or tutorship or curatorship * Patient on AME (state medical aid) * Participation in another trial including other studies proposed as part of the European LEOPARD project (cohort associated to WP1 \& WP5 ("LEOPARD TVDCS") or being in the exclusion period following previous interventional research involving the human person, if applicable
