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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at whether magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a special type of MRI, can accurately measure liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with chronic hepatitis B. Researchers will compare MRE results to standard liver biopsies in 600 adults. If MRE works well, it could offer a safer, non-invasive way to monitor liver health over time.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) imaging
What this could lead to
If successful, MRE could become a reliable, non-invasive way to monitor liver fibrosis, reducing the need for painful liver biopsies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. MRE accuracy may vary, and it is not yet proven to replace biopsy in all cases.
