NCT05626985

Brief Summary

Most hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases were at advanced stage when diagnosis established. This study is intended to establish a clinical diagnostic model GAMAD for early-stage HCC and evaluate the diagnostic efficiency the same time. This study is a multicenter prospective study. Participants including healthy control,HCC, liver cirrhosis, hepatitis and benign tumor-like lesions are consecutively recruited into the cohort. All the blood samples are collected before any treatments and will be tested in single center in order to decrease bias.

Study Arms (5)

Hepatocellular Carcinoma patients

Blood samples are collected before liver resection.

Diagnostic Test: GAMAD

Liver cirrhosis

The diagnosis of liver cirrhosis are based on triple-phase contrast enhanced computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging.

Diagnostic Test: GAMAD

Hepatitis

Patients with various hapatitis.

Diagnostic Test: GAMAD

Benign tumor-like lesions

Benign hepatic tumors were diagnosed based on imaging findings and histological examinations after hepatic resection.

Diagnostic Test: GAMAD

Healthy control

The healthy control group consist of people undergoing routine medical examination. Blood samples are collected.

Diagnostic Test: GAMAD

Interventions

GAMADDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Blood samples are tested for tumor markers including PIVKA-II (DCP),AFP, ctDNA methylation and biochemical tests.

Study Population

Patients must have baseline evaluations performed prior to the study and must meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria. In addition, the patient must be thoroughly informed about all aspects of the study, including the study visit schedule and required evaluations and all regulatory requirements for informed consent. The written informed consent must be obtained from the patient prior to enrollment. The following criteria apply to all patients enrolled onto the study unless otherwise specified

You may qualify if:

  • Age above 18
  • Establishing Diagnosis according to the European Association for the Study of Liver(EASL) criteria
  • High risk group of developing HCC including liver cirrhosis and hepatitis under the confirmed diagnosis
  • Able to provide sufficient and qualified blood samples for study tests
  • No prior or undergoing cancer treatment (local or systematic)
  • Able to provide a written informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Obstructive jaundice patients
  • Medical history of taking warfarin
  • With other known malignant tumors or multiple primary tumors
  • Patients with autoimmune diseases, genetic diseases, mental diseases/ disabilities and other diseases considered unsuitable for the study by the investigator
  • During pregnancy or lactation
  • Recipient of blood transfusion within 3 months prior to study blood draw
  • Insufficient qualified blood sample for study test
