About this trial
HIDE (Hepatocellular Carcinoma Identification via Delta-HLD) is a proof-of-concept case-control study designed to evaluate the performance of delta-HLD, Epiliquid's proprietary liquid biopsy technology, in detecting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The study includes both plasma and tissue samples to assess biomarker concordance and evaluate diagnostic sensitivity and specificity using tumor-specific methylation markers detected by PCR.
