Prognostic Model for MASLD Related Cirrhosis
China228 participantsStarted 2025-08-13
Plain-language summary
This study enrolled 228 patients with MASLD-related cirrhosis confirmed by histopathology or clinical diagnosis. Follow-up was conducted every 3-6 months. The primary endpoint was cumulative incidence of liver-related events (including decompensation events, hepatocellular carcinoma, liver transplantation, and liver-related mortality) and all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints included cumulative incidence of metabolic events and changes in non-invasive fibrosis markers.

Inclusion criteria
. The liver biopsy during the screening period (liver biopsy within 6 months of screening is acceptable) showing cirrhosis with steatohepatitis according to the Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Clinical Research Network (NASH-CRN) scoring system, and there is no evidence of competitive aetiology.
. The liver biopsy during the screening period (liver biopsy within 6 months of screening is acceptable) showing cirrhosis with steatosis (no steatohepatitis) according to NASH-CRN scoring system, and there is no evidence of competitive aetiology. There are at least 2 coexisting metabolic comorbidities or history of metabolic comorbidities, including overweight/obesity and/or prediabetes/type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
. Historical biopsy showed steatohepatitis, and now diagnosed with cirrhosis through non-invasive tests or clinical criteria (see criterion (6)-1)). There is no evidence of competing aetiology. There is at least 1 coexisting or history of metabolic comorbidity.
. Historical biopsy showed steatosis (no steatohepatitis), and now diagnosed with cirrhosis through non-invasive tests or clinical criteria (see criterion (6)-1)). There is no evidence of competing aetiology. There are at least 2 coexisting metabolic comorbidities or history of metabolic comorbidities, including overweight/obesity and/or prediabetes/type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
. 'Cryptogenic cirrhosis' (with no evidence of hepatic steatosis on both histopathology and imaging). There is no evidence of competing aetiology. There are at least 2 coexisting metabolic comorbidities or history of metabolic comorbidities, including overweight/obesity and/or prediabetes/type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
. MASLD-related cirrhosis is defined based on the following criterias:
