Liquid Biopsy Using Exosomal miRNA Enables Risk Stratification of Potential Metastasis in Patients With Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma.

Machine Learning-based Exosome Liquid Biopsy Enables Stratification of Occult Metastasis Risk in Patients With Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Mar 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Occult metastasis at the time of surgery is a major driver of poor outcomes in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), yet reliable preoperative biomarkers to identify such patients are lacking. The EXOMIC study aims to develop and validate a circulating exosomal microRNA (exo-miRNA)-based liquid biopsy assay to detect occult metastasis preoperatively in patients with resectable ICC.
