Recruiting studies
- NCT06838468Enrolling by invitation

This study is looking at liver health in people staying in a detox unit for alcohol use disorder. Researchers want to see how common liver problems are in this group. Participating involves extra tests like blood work, an ultrasound, and a special liver scan (FibroScan).
Sabadell, BarcelonaAges 18–75 - NCT05001009Enrolling by invitation
Goals of care conversation support for certain serious illnesses
This study helps primary care clinicians and their patients have structured “goals of care” conversations (about what matters most and care preferences). It may help you get clearer, earlier planning—especially if you have a serious illness and higher risk of hospitalization or death.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT03175471Recruiting
MRI study of blood-vessel and tissue signs in child liver disease
This trial uses MRI scans to look for “biomarkers,” which are measurable signs in the liver, to better understand autoimmune liver diseases in children and teens. It may help doctors track disease and improve care by finding imaging patterns linked to illness.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 6–23 - NCT05478083RecruitingPhase 2
Leuprolide treatment for severe polycystic liver growth
This Phase 2 study tests whether a monthly hormone medicine (leuprolide, a GnRH agonist given as an injection) can slow down ongoing, fast-growing polycystic livers. It is aimed at pre-menopausal women with very large livers that are still getting bigger on past and current scans.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18–45 - 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 - NCT03178630Recruiting
MRI scans to track outcomes in children with autoimmune liver disease
This study uses MRI scans to find “biomarkers,” or imaging clues, that may help predict how autoimmune liver conditions will progress in children and young adults. If you qualify, you may get MRI imaging to see whether it relates to future health outcomes.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 6–23 - 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.

Does Ketosteril help muscle loss in kidney disease?
This study tests whether a medicine called Ketosteril can improve muscle strength and function in people with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) who also have sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss).
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT07710183Recruiting
Pumpkin seed oil for hemodialysis patients
This study tests if pumpkin seed oil, a natural supplement, can improve health in people on long-term dialysis. It may help with inflammation and nutrition without using prescription drugs.
Baghdad, KarkhAges 18 years+ - NCT05942053RecruitingPhase 4
Vitamin K2 for chronic kidney disease with high urine protein
This trial studies whether vitamin K2 can help people with chronic kidney disease (kidney damage that lasts months or longer), especially those with higher protein levels in the urine. It compares vitamin K2 use in a specific group and watches kidney-related health outcomes and safety.
Tanta, Capital of Gharbia Governorate.Ages 18 years+ - NCT05942027RecruitingPhase 4
CoQ10 in early-to-moderate kidney disease with high urine protein
This study tests whether taking coenzyme Q10 can improve chronic kidney disease in adults with moderate kidney function and higher urine protein. It also looks at safety, especially for blood pressure and potassium levels.
Tanta, Capital of Gharbia Governorate.Ages 18 years+ - NCT05970172RecruitingPhase 3
Roxadustat for anemia in kids with chronic kidney disease
This study tests roxadustat, a medicine that helps the body make more red blood cells, in children and teens with anemia caused by chronic kidney disease. It may help improve anemia and related blood counts, while also monitoring safety.
BrusselsAges 2–17 - 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+ - NCT06658782Recruiting
MRI vs ultrasound for liver cancer detection in high-risk people
This trial compares two types of scans to see which detects liver cancer better in people at high risk. You would receive either an MRI with contrast or an ultrasound every 6 months to monitor for liver cancer.
Oxford, OxonAges 18 years+ - NCT06725810RecruitingPhase 4
Enarodustat for anemia in chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis)
This trial tests enarodustat, a pill for anemia, in people with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis. It aims to see if it can safely raise hemoglobin levels.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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.

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.
