Sponsor: National Cancer Centre, Singapore
Summary
This is a prospective, single-arm, non-randomized interventional study nested within the existing ELEGANCE cohort. Patients eligible for the RE-BALANCE study will be selected from the ELEGANCE cohort based on predefined high-risk criteria, specifically a low 12-non-hydroxy/12-hydroxy bile acid ratio indicative of elevated hepatocarcinogenic risk. The study comprises Baseline Assessments (Visit 1), Intervention Visits (Visit 2-8), and Follow-up Assessments (Visit 9-11).
