Endoscopic Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography Study

Официальное название

Endoscopic Ultrasound With Shear Wave Elastography for the Assessment of Liver Disease

Обзор

This study shall be a prospective, multicenter, single arm, consecutive, interventional study conducted in a post-market setting using commercially available devices. Consecutive, eligible patients with clinical suspicion of MASLD or MASH reporting for an endoscopic ultrasound and liver biopsy for evaluation of fibrosis will be enrolled. EUS Shear Wave Elastography and Attenuation Imaging technologies will be compared to liver biopsy and FibroScan results and other non-invasive fibrosis screening modalities . The data collected during this study will be evaluated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the protocol. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Establish optimal cutoffs for EUS-SWE in reference to liver biopsies staging system for liver fibrosis * Evaluate the diagnostic performance of EUS-SWE compared to FibroScan (VCTE) and to other non-invasive fibrosis screening modalities (screening scores). Participants will undergo: * Endoscopic Ultrasound with Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) and Attenuation Imaging (ATI) * Liver biopsy * FibroScan

Подробное описание

A total of up to 300 subjects will be enrolled and treated at up to six US sites. Enrollment is expected to be completed within 18 months. Each subject will undergo procedures (EUS with SW Elastography and Attenuation Imaging, liver biopsy and FibroScan). Liver biopsy and FibroScan should be done within three months from Endoscopic ultrasound with SWE and ATI. End of study participation for a subject will be reached after pathology results have been obtained.

This study has been designed as a post-market clinical registry to evaluate the effectiveness of Endoscopic Ultrasound with Shear Wave Elastography to estimate hepatic fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease. All consenting, eligible patients reporting for an ultrasound and liver biopsy for evaluation of fibrosis meeting the inclusion criteria will be consecutively enrolled into the study and assigned a unique study identification number.

Вмешательства

• Устройство Endoscopic Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography (EUS) and Attenuation Imaging
  EUS combines ultrasound technology with endoscopy to gain an internal vantage point to obtain higher resolution ultrasound images. Shear Wave is a software option on the ultrasound system EUS that provides an advanced measure and dynamic display of tissue stiffness which is being evaluated for use in assessing liver fibrosis. Attenuation Imaging (ATI) is a novel application that provides the capability to quantify and color-code the changes in attenuation coefficient of the liver that may arise
• Устройство FibroScan
  A small ultrasound probe to measure the velocity of a sound wave passing through the liver. This is converted into kilopascals (kPa), which is used to assess liver fibrosis.
• Устройство Liver biopsy
  A biopsy of liver tissue could be obtained under endoscopic ultrasound guidance, interventional radiology (percutaneously), or surgically. Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided liver biopsy provides high resolution images of left lobe of the liver and a good portion of the right lobe of the liver. This, coupled with Doppler capability, allows the physician to direct the biopsy needle safely into the liver for sampling under real time image guidance.

Критерии участия

Критерии включения

• 18 years of age or older
• Willing and able to provide informed consent
• Patient scheduled to undergo EUS with liver biopsy, either same session or separately; if separate, liver biopsy should be performed within 3 months of the EUS (either before or after) with no interval bariatric procedure/surgery or weight change of >10% total body weight
• Patient scheduled to undergo or have undergone FibroScan, which should be performed within 3 months of the EUS (either before or after) with no interval bariatric procedure/surgery or weight change of >10% total body weight
• BMI >/=28
• Clinical suspicion of MASLD (hepatic steatosis with at least one of five cardiometabolic risk factors: 1) overweight or obesity, 2) elevated glucose, 3) low HDL-C, 4) hypertension, and/or 5) hypertriglyceridemia) or MASH (additionally characterized by the presence of inflammation and hepatocellular ballooning) with or without fibrosis, as determined by non-invasive or minimally invasive techniques (e.g. abdominal ultrasound, FibroScan)

Критерии исключения
