Liver damage study in head and neck cancer abandoned after just 2 patients
NCT ID NCT03139058
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to find out how often liver fibrosis and cirrhosis occur in people with head and neck cancer, since tobacco and alcohol are risk factors for both. Researchers planned to check liver health using exams and imaging. However, the study was stopped early after only 2 people enrolled, so no meaningful results were obtained.
