Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To determine metabolites and natural occurring peptides in urine by mass spectrometry in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. This study is designed as a validation study; in a smaller study a spectrum of metabolites and natural occurring peptides have been identified in urine of patients with HCC and without HCC. However, with the data from the pilot study we cannot discriminate between biomarkers related to cirrhosis and to hepatocellular carcinoma. As identification of biomarkers predicting the early presence of hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic livers would be of great clinical relevance additional urine analysis using mass spectrometry is indicated to determine a potential successful test of a new biomarker signature.
