PRIMARY PREVENTION OF HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA BY METFORMIN IN PATIENTS WITH VIRAL C CIRRHOSIS : PROSPECTIVE MULTICENTER STUDY, RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL. Ancillary Study of the ANRS CO12 CirVir Cohort
Abstract
Metformin treatment during 36 months could be associated with decreased risk of HCC occurrence and liver related death in patients with compensated HCV cirrhosis and insulinoresistance.
This study is an ancillary of the observational study from the CIRVIR cohort in which more than 1200 patients with compensated HCV cirrhosis are currently included.
participating centers : 26
Conditions: Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Hepatitis C, Chronic, Cirrhosis.
Primary outcome: rate of HCC occurrence and liver related-death or transplantation..
Enrollment: 11 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 11 participants or records.
