Official title
EU-ME3 Endoscopic Ultrasound Shear Wave Quantification (EUS-SWQ) for Evaluating Liver Fibrosis and Histopathology in Patients With Chronic Liver Disease
Overview
The goal of this clinical study is to learn whether the Olympus EU-ME3 endoscopic ultrasound shear wave quantification (EUS-SWQ) function can accurately diagnose and grade liver fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease. It will also learn about the safety and measurement success rate of EUS-SWQ. The main questions it aims to answer are: How closely do EUS-SWQ measurements match liver fibrosis stages determined by liver biopsy (the reference standard)? Does EUS-SWQ correlate better with liver biopsy results than FibroScan? How safe is EUS-SWQ and how often can successful measurements be obtained? Researchers will compare EUS-SWQ results with liver biopsy pathology (METAVIR F0-F4) and with FibroScan results to evaluate its diagnostic value. Participants will: Be adults with chronic liver disease who are scheduled to undergo a clinically indicated liver biopsy Undergo an EUS-SWQ examination as part of the study Have their liver stiffness measured by both EUS-SWQ and FibroScan for comparison Be monitored for any discomfort or adverse events related to the procedures A total of 65 participants will take part in this prospective, single-center, post-market clinical study.
Primary outcome measures
- Correlation between EUS-SWQ measurements and METAVIR liver fibrosis staging [Time frame: 2 weeks after the intervention]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Comparison of correlation with liver fibrosis between EUS-SWQ and FibroScan [Time frame: At baseline]
- Safety and measurement success rate of EUS-SWQ [Time frame: At baseline]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 80 years.
- Patients with clinical indications scheduled to undergo liver biopsy (EUS-guided) for the evaluation of liver lesions. Chronic liver disease meeting criteria for biopsy includes:Hepatitis B；Fatty liver disease；Autoimmune hepatitis；Other chronic liver diseases of unknown etiology that would benefit from liver biopsy
- Planned to undergo EUS-SWQ and FibroScan examinations prior to biopsy.
- Willing to provide and sign written informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
- Patients unable to tolerate endoscopic procedures.
- Patients with contraindications to endoscopy or anesthesia.
- Coagulopathy (platelet count < 50×10⁹/L, PT > upper limit of normal by 3 seconds).
- Patients with severe underlying diseases of the respiratory, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, digestive, or hematologic systems, as well as those with psychiatric disorders.
- Patients with surgically altered anatomy that precludes adequate EUS imaging of the hepatic parenchyma.
- Patients with imaging findings suggestive of malignant liver tumors.
- Pregnant or lactating women.
- Patients with decompensated cirrhosis (gastrointestinal bleeding, ascites, encephalopathy).
- Patients who refuse to participate in the clinical study.
- Any other conditions deemed inappropriate by the investigator.
