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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

LiverSeek is a study testing an automated screening program for advanced liver fibrosis in people aged 50-75 with risk factors like diabetes or obesity. When a routine blood test is done, the lab system automatically calculates a fibrosis score and, if needed, orders additional tests without the doctor having to act. The goal is to see how many high-risk patients have liver scarring and whether this approach can catch it early.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
automated screening strategy using blood tests (FIB-4, ELF, MASEF) and nurse-led lifestyle intervention
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple, automated way to catch liver fibrosis early in primary care, potentially preventing progression to severe liver disease.
What could go wrong
This is an observational screening study, not a treatment trial. It may not prove that early detection improves outcomes, and the lifestyle intervention sub-study is small.
