New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–75 - NCT06843148Recruiting
Does niacin help move fat from liver to fat tissue?
This study tests if niacin (a B vitamin) can help the body store fat safely in fat tissue instead of letting it build up in the liver. It may be an option for people with fatty liver linked to belly fat, without serious liver damage or other health issues.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 20–80 - NCT04014413Recruiting
Fecal transplant for gut and immune-related conditions
This trial studies whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)—a medical procedure using stool from a screened donor to restore gut bacteria—can improve safety and outcomes for people with certain bowel, immune, and metabolic conditions. It may help if your symptoms are thought to be related to an unhealthy gut microbiome, though eligibility is broad and depends on specific safety factors.
Hong Kong, ShatinAges Any age - NCT05178069RecruitingPhase 2
Probiotic supplement study for alcohol use disorder and liver injury
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a probiotic (LGG) can improve health in people with alcohol use disorder and alcohol-related liver injury. It’s not an alcohol treatment study, so participants are mainly joining to see how the supplement affects the body and liver-related outcomes.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 21–65 - NCT07192159Recruiting
Ultrasound vs MRI for measuring liver fat in MASLD
This study compares ultrasound (DeepUSFF) and MRI (MRI-PDFF) for measuring liver fat in people with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease not caused by alcohol). It aims to see if ultrasound can be used as a cheaper, more accessible alternative to MRI.
Boardman, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02298439Recruiting
Fatty liver patient registry for clinic patients
This is a research registry that collects information from people being treated for fatty liver in a specific Toronto clinic. It may help researchers better understand the illness and improve future care for patients like you.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04971577RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Simvastatin for alcohol-related liver scarring in stable adults
This trial studies whether simvastatin (a cholesterol medicine) can improve or slow scarring of the liver caused by long-term alcohol use. Participants must have confirmed liver fibrosis on biopsy and be in a stable (compensated) phase of liver disease.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT02422238Recruiting
Study of fatty liver in adults, using MRI and stored samples
This study follows people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease to better understand the condition. It uses an MRI scan and collects body samples to help researchers study changes over time.
