Comparison of iLivTouch and FibroScan for the Assessment of Liver Fibrosis and Steatosis in Adult Patients in the US
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a multi-center, cross-sectional, and prospective study that will recruit patients from multiple hospitals or outpatient clinics in the USA to the comparison of iLivTouch and FibroScan for the assessment of liver fibrosis and steatosis in adult patients.

Detailed Description
Clinical phase: Phase IV investigator-initiated study Study centers planned: Approximately 4 centers in different regions of the USA
Objectives:
-
Primary Objectives To evaluate the consistency of Liver Stiffness Measurement (LSM) and Ultrasound/Controlled Attenuation Parameters (UAP/CAP) between iLivTouch-FT9000 and FibroScan 530 devices.
-
Secondary Objectives
-
To compare the operational features of the two devices, reflected in the success rate of examination and number of effective examinations.
-
To compare LSM obtained from each device with liver stiffness estimated by APRI, FIB-4, and SAFE scores.
-
The number of adverse events, serious events, and percentage of subjects with events will be calculated for AE, SAE, AE of special interest, and AE leading to study withdrawal.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Liver Stiffness Measurement (LSM) value from iLivTouch and FibroScan detection [6 months]
Spearman correlation coefficients and 95% confidence interval will be calculated to analyze the correlation of the measurements (LSM) between iLivTouch-FT9000 and FibroScan 530 devices.
- Ultrasound/Controlled Attenuation Parameters (UAP/CAP) from iLivTouch and FibroScan detection [6 months]
Spearman correlation coefficients and 95% confidence interval will be calculated to analyze the correlation of the measurements (UAP/CAP) between iLivTouch-FT9000 and FibroScan 530 devices.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To compare the success rate of the iLivTouch and FibroScan [6 months]
The success rate of examination will be obtained from the percentage of patients who are successful in the test.
- To compare the number of effective examinations of iLivTouch and FibroScan [6 months]
The number of effective examinations will be obtained from the number of attempts to obtain the effective results.
- Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and AST to Platelet Ratio Index (APRI) [6 months]
To compare LSM obtained from each device with liver stiffness estimated by APRI. Two liver fibrosis detection results based on LSM and APRI will be compared. The higher values mean more serious fibrosis.
- Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) [6 months]
Two liver fibrosis detection results based on LSM and FIB-4 will be compared. FIB-4 refers to Age (years), AST Level (U/L), Platelet Count (10^9/L), ALT (U/L), with higher values mean more serious fibrosis.
- Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and Steatosis-associated Fibrosis Estimator (SAFE) scores [6 months]
Two liver fibrosis detection results based on LSM and SAFE scores will be compared. The higher values mean more serious fibrosis.
- Adverse events, serious events [6 months]
The number of adverse events, serious events, and percentage of subjects with events will be calculated for AE, SAE, AE of special interest, and AE leading to study withdrawal.
