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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 is checking how common liver disease (MASLD) is in people who survived breast or colorectal cancer. Researchers will use painless scans and blood tests instead of a liver biopsy. The goal is to find better ways to catch liver problems early in cancer survivors.

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 study could lead to better, safer screening guidelines for liver disease in cancer survivors, enabling earlier detection and treatment.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The non-invasive methods may not be accurate enough to replace biopsy, and results may not apply to all cancer survivors.

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

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion criteria: * Signed Informed consent form * Age ≥ 18 years * Diagnosis of BC or CRC at least 5 years but no more than 10 years before enrollment, and no recurrence or new cancer diagnoses during this time period (except for superficial non-melanoma skin cancer or superficial bladder cancer or cancer in-situ). Patients who received/are still receiving adjuvant therapy may be included. Time period is calculated from date of first histological diagnosis of cancer. Exclusion criteria: * Known or suspected chronic hepatic disease * Pregnancy, or suspected pregnancy (as liver stiffness and fat content are often elevated but reverse after childbirth) * For the MRI sub-study: Contraindication to MRI, including: claustrophobia and presence of metal implants or devices or foreign metal objects in/on the body, such as pacemakers, defibrillators, prosthetic cardiac valves, cochlear implants, metal clips e.g., vascular clips, spinal cord stimulators or deep brain stimulators, shrapnel or bullet fragments, metal in the eyes, orthopedic hardware and piercings that cannot be easily removed.
