Brief Title: Liver Cancer Prevention Randomized Control Trial
Official Title: A Randomized, Prospective Study of a Behaviorally-based Tailored Disease Management Intervention vs Control in Patients With Risk Factors for Liver Disease
Study ID: NCT05196867
Brief Summary: To determine the effectiveness of a behaviorally-based tailored disease management intervention in patients with fibrosis or steatosis and risk factors for cirrhosis.
Detailed Description: Hypothesis: A technology-assisted self-management intervention that addresses diet, physical activity, alcohol use, and medication adherence can produce regression in fibrosis as measured by FIB-4 in patients with fibrosis or steatosis and risk factors for cirrhosis, including chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, alcohol use, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Primary objective: To test the effect of the behavioral intervention on fibrosis in a randomized trial. We will randomize eligible HOPE Clinic patients to (i) a 6-month self-management intervention to help participants implement behavioral changes to manage their disease or (ii) a wait-list control group that will receive the intervention after their 6-month assessment. Secondary objective: Evaluate changes in behavioral risk factors for liver fibrosis or steatosis (body composition, physical activity, diet, medication adherence, alcohol use), metabolic syndrome, and patient activation and other behavioral determinants.
