Liver risk under microscope: TURALIO study seeks answers
NCT ID NCT04635111
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows up to 30 adults with tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) who had liver test abnormalities while taking TURALIO. The goal is to track long-term liver failure risk and understand how the drug may cause liver injury. Participants will be monitored after stopping TURALIO, and some may provide optional liver biopsies.
