Using MRI to better diagnose liver fat, inflammation, and scarring
This study uses advanced MRI scans to get a clearer picture of liver fat, inflammation, and scarring in people with chronic liver disease. It aims to help doctors diagnose and understand liver problems better.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT06318949Recruiting
Albumin changes as early signs of chronic liver disease
This study is looking at whether changes in a protein called albumin can help find liver disease earlier. It is for people who have some liver scarring but no serious complications.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT02060565Recruiting
Test noninvasive scans to diagnose chronic liver disease
This study looks at how well noninvasive tests (tests that don’t require surgery, like scans and blood-based measurements) can diagnose chronic liver disease in people with certain liver conditions. It may help doctors choose better, less invasive ways to identify the type and stage of liver problems.
PessacAges 18 years+ - NCT06743464Recruiting
Rifaximin before liver transplant for better early liver function
This trial tests whether taking the antibiotic rifaximin just before and after a living-donor liver transplant can help prevent early problems with the new liver. It may be an option for adults having this surgery at the study hospital.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18 years+ - NCT07685353Recruiting
Genes and graft fat after liver transplant study
This study looks at how genetic differences between liver donors and recipients affect fat buildup in the new liver after transplantation. It may help doctors understand why some transplanted livers develop steatosis (fatty liver) after the surgery.
New DelhiAges 18 years+ - NCT06741904Enrolling by invitation
Predicting liver disease worsening without invasive tests
This study looks at new, non-invasive methods to predict when chronic liver disease might get worse. It could help you and your doctor catch problems early without needing a biopsy or other invasive procedures.
Guangzhou, GuangzhouAges 18–80 - NCT07715500Recruiting
MRI of Bile Ducts in Living Liver Donors
This study uses an MRI scan to look at the bile ducts in healthy people who want to donate part of their liver. The goal is to see if the scan can help predict and prevent bile duct problems for the person receiving the liver.
New DelhiAges 18–55 - NCT07480057Recruiting
Bone health changes after liver transplant
This study tracks how liver transplantation affects your bone density and mineral metabolism. It aims to find changes early, which can help prevent fractures later.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18 years+ - NCT07268196Recruiting
How a liver transplant affects sexual function
This study looks at how a liver transplant affects a person's sex life and sexual function. It includes married men who either are waiting for a transplant or have already had one with a healthy working liver.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18–60 - NCT06656767Enrolling by invitation
Studying liver cell changes in chronic liver disease
This trial uses already collected liver tissue samples from adults to study how cells change over time in chronic liver disease. It could help researchers understand the disease better and find new ways to treat it.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT05744713Enrolling by invitation
Study of adults with long-term liver disease using health records
This observational study looks at adults with chronic liver disease (including cirrhosis) to better understand how people are managed and how they feel over time. Because it does not change your treatment, it may help researchers improve care and patient support.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07042308Recruiting
Study of advanced chronic liver disease over time
This study follows people with advanced chronic liver disease to understand how their condition changes over time. If you have cirrhosis or high liver stiffness, you may be able to join to help researchers track the disease and learn more about it.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07317193Recruiting
Genetic causes of adult bile duct disease
This study looks for new genes that might cause abnormal liver test results or specific bile duct diseases in adults, when standard testing hasn't found a clear cause. It also uses healthy blood donors as a comparison group.
Milan, MilanoAges 18–65 - NCT07544524Recruiting
Plant-Based Diet for Kidney Disease in Asian Adults
This study tests whether eating mostly plants (with some animal products) can safely help people with moderate kidney disease. Researchers will compare this diet to a standard kidney-friendly diet and see how it affects kidney function and overall health.
SingaporeAges 21–79 - NCT06514300Enrolling by invitation
Study of muscle fat in fatty liver disease
This study looks at how fat in the muscles may affect liver disease in people with fatty liver and related conditions like obesity or diabetes. It aims to better understand the connection between muscle fat and liver health.
BrusselsAges 18–75 - NCT06986447Enrolling by invitation
Non-invasive tests for serious liver disease
This study is testing whether advanced imaging and other non-invasive methods can properly identify people with significant liver scarring due to metabolic liver disease or alcohol-related liver disease. It may help find better ways to track liver health without repeated needle biopsies.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT07670611RecruitingPhase 4
Vitamin D2 alone or with calcitriol for children with liver disease
This trial compares two types of vitamin D—one is plain vitamin D2, the other is vitamin D2 plus a more active form (calcitriol)—to see which works better for children with liver problems and low vitamin D levels.
BangkokAges Up to 18 years - NCT06613698RecruitingPhase 2
Testing an investigational drug for alcohol-related liver disease
This trial tests whether a new drug, GSK4532990, is safe and effective compared to a placebo in adults aged 18 to 70 with liver disease caused by alcohol use. The study aims to see if the drug can help treat advanced chronic liver disease.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18–70 - NCT07191886Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic liver disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 398 recruiting chronic liver disease 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 chronic liver disease 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 chronic liver disease 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.
