Trial Outcomes & Findings for Magnetic Resonance Elastography for Assessment of Liver Fibrosis (MK-0000-132)(COMPLETED) (NCT NCT00896233)

NCT ID: NCT00896233

Last Updated: 2015-08-25

Results Overview

Reader evaluated 4 sections of the liver at 4 different time points and the end result was a single region of interest (ROI) that could be measured in the registered elastograms at each of the time points. Stiffness measures obtained using the "Individual ROI" (average of the 4 individual ROI's selected by the reader, one for each slice of liver) and "Common ROI" (intersection (or area of common overlap) of the 4 individual ROI's) analysis methods were compared. The mean was the overall mean of the data and the standard deviation was the within participant standard deviation.

Participant Flow

Part 2 of the study was not conducted; however, in Part 2 of the study, participants would have had a screening visit, followed \~1 month later by one imaging visit. The imaging visit would have consisted of two liver Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) scans.
