Clinical Research Workshop, Part 1: What’s New in Cirrhosis Management—Shifting Paradigms and Implications for Clinical Research

This workshop highlights the evolving landscape of cirrhosis diagnosis and management, and explores how these changes are reshaping clinical research. Faculty challenge the traditional approaches to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) screening, and portal hypertension assessment and management. Presenters discuss the evolving concept of cirrhosis recompensation with a focus on implications for clinical trial design, end points, and patient stratification. Faculty provide a forward-looking view of cirrhosis research and address key research questions that need to be addressed in the near future. The workshop includes 3 breakout sessions where attendees have the opportunity to interact with experts in smaller groups to discuss clinical research topics of interest, including: (1) noninvasive tools for the management of portal hypertension; (2) recompensation in alcohol-associated liver disease; and (3) the future of HCC screening.
