Recruiting studies
- NCT05726747Recruiting
Quality-of-life study for fluid buildup and muscle loss
This trial studies people with recurring fluid buildup in the belly (ascites) and looks at how treatments or supportive care affect quality of life and muscle strength. It may help researchers better understand which approaches improve day-to-day well-being when ascites keeps coming back.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07349654Recruiting
New stent method to reduce brain fog after TIPS procedure
This trial tests a modified stent placement technique during TIPS (a procedure to lower blood pressure in the liver) to see if it helps prevent confusion and memory problems that can happen afterward.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06812390RecruitingPhase 2
Albumin plus diuretics for cirrhosis-related leg swelling
This study tests whether giving albumin (a protein) along with water pills helps reduce leg swelling in people with cirrhosis and ascites. It may be an option if your leg swelling hasn't improved with standard diuretics alone.
West Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06576934Recruiting
Early TIPS for liver cirrhosis with ascites
This study tests whether placing a small tube (called a TIPS) early in the liver can help people with cirrhosis who have their first episode of moderate to severe belly fluid buildup. The goal is to see if this early procedure improves outcomes compared to standard care.
Freiburg im BreisgauAges 18–80 - NCT06224023Recruiting
Presepsin levels in ascites fluid in liver failure
This study is testing whether a blood test for presepsin (a protein that can show infection) can help predict infection in the belly fluid of people with chronic liver failure and ascites. If you have ascites and liver failure, this trial may help doctors better spot infections early.
BucharestAges 18 years+ - NCT06669806Recruiting
TIPS Stent Graft for Cirrhosis Complications
This study tests a TIPS stent graft (a tiny mesh tube placed in the liver to relieve pressure) for people with cirrhosis and complications like bleeding or fluid buildup. It aims to see how well it works and if it's safe.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT07684326RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Can dapagliflozin help liver cirrhosis with fluid buildup? (Phase 2/3 randomized trial)
This trial tests a diabetes pill (dapagliflozin) to see if it helps people with liver cirrhosis and fluid buildup (ascites). The goal is to improve fluid balance and possibly reduce hospital stays.
GizaAges 18 years+ - NCT05346393Recruiting
TIPS procedure for kidney failure in people with cirrhosis
This trial studies whether a liver procedure called TIPS can help people with cirrhosis who develop sudden kidney failure (HRS-AKI). It aims to improve kidney function and overall outcomes, but participation depends on several safety checks.
AachenAges 18–80 - NCT05490888RecruitingPhase 1
Dose study of PHIN-214 for mild to moderate cirrhosis
This Phase 1 study tests how the medicine PHIN-214 behaves in the body and what dose is tolerable in people with Child-Pugh A or B liver cirrhosis. It may help doctors plan safer dosing for future studies.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT07521332RecruitingPhase 4
Testing Apixaban to Prevent Bleeding Complications in Cirrhosis
This study tests whether a blood thinner called apixaban can safely prevent dangerous bleeding in people with cirrhosis (liver scarring) who have portal hypertension (high blood pressure in veins leading to the liver). The goal is to see if it reduces bleeding risk without causing excessive bleeding.
Hyderābād, SindhAges 18 years+ - NCT03267615Recruiting
Study in advanced liver scarring using pressure and stiffness tests
This study looks at people over 18 who have advanced, long-term liver scarring. It uses specialized measurements of liver stiffness and pressure to confirm eligibility and may help doctors better understand this condition.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ascites hepatic?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 11 recruiting ascites hepatic studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a ascites hepatic trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a ascites hepatic trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
