Recruiting studies
- NCT05475015Recruiting
3D MRI scan to assess liver scarring and pressure
This study tests whether a special 3D MRI scan (3D-MRE) can measure liver scarring and the high pressure in the liver called portal hypertension. It may help your team use imaging to understand how severe your liver disease is, especially when a pressure test (HVPG) is being considered.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT05181826Recruiting
Blood collection study for cancer and benign diseases
This study collects blood samples from people with different health conditions (cancer, diabetes, liver disease, etc.) and from healthy volunteers. The goal is to find markers in the blood that could help detect or monitor diseases.
Redondo Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05095714Recruiting
Fast MRI for close monitoring of high-risk liver cancer
This trial studies a faster MRI scan to help track early liver cancer in people who have cirrhosis and are considered high risk. It may improve how often and how well doctors can look for changes without using longer imaging sessions.

Study drug in people with cirrhosis from blocked bile flow
This Phase 1 trial studies how saroglitazar magnesium works in people with liver scarring (cirrhosis) caused by a bile-flow problem. It helps doctors understand safety and how the body handles the medicine in this specific liver condition.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–80 - NCT04690972Recruiting
Collection of blood and tissue samples for liver disease research
This study builds a research library of biological samples (like tissue and blood) from people with chronic liver disease. It aims to create better lab and preclinical models of tumors and long-term liver problems, which may help future treatments.

Study of liver inflammation and healing in alcohol-related liver disease
This study compares patterns of liver inflammation and the liver’s healing ability in people with alcohol-related liver disease, using blood tests and (in most cases) a liver tissue sample. It may help doctors better understand what is happening in the liver and how it may recover.
LilleAges 18–70 - NCT02863757Recruiting
Follow-up study for chronic hepatitis B with fatty liver
This study follows people who have chronic hepatitis B and also have fat buildup in the liver (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease). It’s looking at how these conditions behave over time and what may help, using information collected during follow-up visits.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges Any age - NCT06890039RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new treatment for severe alcoholic hepatitis
This trial tests an experimental drug for people with severe alcoholic hepatitis that did not improve with steroids. Participants should have a moderate level of organ failure, but not require a breathing tube or kidney dialysis.
London, Greater LondonAges 18–75 - NCT06825559RecruitingPhase 1
Saroglitazar safety in moderate liver impairment from cholestatic disease
This trial tests how the body processes saroglitazar in people with moderate liver impairment caused by cholestatic liver disease. The goal is to ensure the drug is safe and dosed correctly for this group.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–80 - NCT06588699RecruitingPhase 2
Digoxin for NASH liver disease study
This trial tests if the heart medication digoxin can help people with NASH (fatty liver disease with inflammation), who have moderate liver scarring. You will receive digoxin or a placebo for 24 weeks and have a liver biopsy before and after treatment to see if the medication reduces liver damage.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–75 - NCT06060769Recruiting
MRI risk assessment for liver cancer in chronic liver disease
This study uses special MRI scans to better predict liver cancer risk in people with chronic liver disease. It may help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier and improve monitoring.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07553663RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new liver disease treatment for fatty liver
This study tests how your body processes a new medication called miricorilant, designed to help people with fatty liver disease (MASH). You'll have liver scans or recent biopsy results and metabolic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06322056Recruiting
Lower blood pressure and cholesterol targets for advanced kidney disease
This trial tests whether keeping blood pressure and cholesterol at lower-than-usual levels can help slow the decline of kidney function in people with advanced chronic kidney disease. If you have moderately to severely reduced kidney function and meet certain blood pressure and cholesterol criteria, you may be able to join.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06841692Recruiting
Diuretic testing for moderate kidney disease
This study checks how well diuretics (water pills) work in people with moderate chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors understand how to better treat fluid buildup in patients.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06814626RecruitingPhase 3
Nutrition therapy for muscle loss in cirrhosis with fluid buildup
This trial tests whether a special nutrition plan can help treat muscle loss in people with liver cirrhosis who also have fluid buildup that doesn't improve with standard treatment. It aims to improve strength and outcomes after a procedure to place a shunt in the liver.
PalermoAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT06752577Recruiting
Stem cell treatment for chronic kidney disease safety study
This study tests whether a single infusion of stem cells from bone marrow is safe for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It aims to see if this treatment can help slow kidney function loss.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07452744Enrolling by invitation
Picroliv for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
This study tests a plant-based medicine called Picroliv for people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It aims to see if it is safe and can reduce fat in the liver.
Chandigarh, ChandigarhAges 18–60 - NCT07437755Recruiting
Guiding blood transfusions during procedures for cirrhosis
This study compares a special blood test (thrombelastometry) to standard tests to decide when to give blood products before invasive procedures in people with advanced liver cirrhosis. The goal is to see which method leads to better use of blood products and fewer complications.

Eye scans to check liver disease and transplant outlook
This study uses advanced eye scans to see if your eyes can give clues about your chronic liver disease and how well you might do after a liver transplant. If you have advanced liver disease or cirrhosis, and are maybe waiting for a transplant, you may join.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07481734RecruitingPhase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic liver disease and cirrhosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 196 recruiting chronic liver disease and cirrhosis 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 and cirrhosis 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 and cirrhosis 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.
