This study builds a research registry (and optional test results follow-up) for adults who either need a routine liver biopsy or may have fatty liver risk based on body weight and other health history. It helps researchers learn more about non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (fatty liver not caused by alcohol) and how it may progress.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04858412Recruiting
Amino acid supplement to help people with COVID-19 and alcohol liver disease
This study tests whether an HMB-enriched amino acid supplement can improve outcomes in adults who have COVID-19 pneumonia, especially those with alcohol-related liver disease. The trial compares results in people with alcohol liver disease versus those without, to see if the supplement helps during recovery.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21 years+ - NCT04899102Recruiting
Intermittent fasting for fatty liver disease in adults
This study tests whether intermittent fasting can improve fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by reducing liver fat. It focuses on adults with confirmed fatty liver and extra liver fat seen on a special MRI scan.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05205954Recruiting
Home hospital care for adults with advanced liver disease
This pilot study tests whether a “home hospital” program can safely care for people with advanced liver disease after they are admitted to the hospital. It may reduce time in the hospital while still treating serious complications like fluid buildup, breathing fluid, or confusion from liver disease.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05309863Recruiting
Compare home versus clinic weight programs for fatty liver
This study compares two weight-loss programs for children with fatty liver disease related to weight, to see which helps the liver and health better. You may be eligible if your child is already enrolled in a lifestyle program for childhood obesity and meets key safety checks.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 8–18 - NCT05332613Recruiting
Diet and meal timing study for fatty liver
This study looks at whether changing when and how people eat can improve fatty liver disease caused by metabolic problems. It uses MRI to measure liver fat and compares outcomes while participants follow a structured eating schedule.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT05463796Recruiting
Prevention and early detection for people at high cancer risk
This study looks at surveillance (watching closely), prevention, and early “interception” steps to lower the chance that cancer will develop or be found later. It is for people with genetic risk, past cancer treatment exposures, strong family history, or certain early pre-cancer or high-risk conditions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT05480696RecruitingPhase 2
Soluble fiber supplement for fatty liver in kids
This Phase 2 study tests whether a soluble fiber supplement can improve fatty liver disease in children who have obesity and confirmed NAFLD. It may help reduce liver fat and related liver enzyme elevations measured during clinic visits and MRI.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 8–17 - NCT05495139Recruiting
Gastric bypass stent study for fatty liver disease
This small study tests whether placing a gastric bypass stent can improve nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (fatty liver not caused by heavy alcohol). You may be considered if your liver fat is high on a special MRI scan and you meet several safety and medical history rules.
ShanghaiAges 18–65 - NCT05528471Recruiting
Test whether fructose affects fatty liver in teens
This study looks at how fructose (a type of sugar) may affect fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in teens with obesity. The goal is to learn whether fructose changes liver health, using MRI/MRS scans to measure the liver.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 12–18 - NCT05618626Recruiting
Lifestyle program to prevent fatty liver and heart disease
This trial tests whether a structured lifestyle program—focused on healthy living and resistance exercise—can help prevent fatty liver disease and heart-related problems. It may be helpful if you have early or mild fatty liver changes or risk factors, even if you also have gallstones.
