Recruiting studies
- NCT06374875RecruitingPhase 4

Liver stiffness testing for hepatitis B patients
This trial uses MR elastography (a special MRI) to measure liver stiffness and check for fibrosis (scarring) without a needle biopsy. It may help guide treatment for chronic hepatitis B.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06601231Recruiting
Better liver cancer screening with GAAD score and imaging
This study looks at whether adding a blood test (the GAAD score) to standard imaging can better detect liver cancer at an early stage in people with chronic liver disease. It may help you if you have cirrhosis or certain types of liver scarring.

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+ - NCT06673498RecruitingPhase 2
Two drugs to raise platelets before surgery in liver disease
This trial tests two medications (lusutrombopag and recombinant human thrombopoietin) given together to raise platelet levels before a planned surgery in people with chronic liver disease. The goal is to reduce the need for platelet transfusions and make the procedure safer.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07471542Recruiting
Copper supplements for cirrhosis patients
This trial tests whether taking copper supplements can help people with cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) who have low copper levels or symptoms related to copper deficiency. It aims to see if this can improve their health.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07370103Recruiting
Predicting low blood pressure in liver disease patients after anesthesia
This study uses an ultrasound to measure blood flow in the neck's main artery to see if it can predict a dangerous drop in blood pressure after you are put to sleep for surgery. It is for adult patients with chronic liver disease who are having planned surgery.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT06266260Recruiting
Measuring liver pressure with ultrasound for advanced liver disease
This trial uses a minimally invasive ultrasound technique to directly measure blood pressure in the liver's main vein. It may help doctors decide if patients with severe scarred livers need medication to prevent variceal bleeding.
RomaAges 18–99 - NCT07280390Recruiting
Microplastics in people with cirrhosis
This trial checks whether tiny plastic particles (microplastics) are present in the liver and body of people with cirrhosis who are having planned surgery or a liver transplant. It aims to understand if microplastics might make liver disease worse.
Chandigarh, ChandigarhAges 18–70 - NCT07275554Recruiting
Gene patterns and risk prediction in hepatitis B liver failure
This study looks at how gene changes (methylation) in people with hepatitis B-related liver failure may predict how well they will do. It aims to create a risk score to guide treatment.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06953921Recruiting
Liver disease and confusion: does albumin level matter?
This study looks at whether low albumin levels in the blood are linked to more severe confusion caused by liver disease. It may help doctors understand how to better manage hepatic encephalopathy.
SohagAges 18 years+ - NCT06861478RecruitingPhase 2
PPIs for bleeding varices in liver disease
This trial tests whether proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can help people with cirrhosis who are hospitalized for variceal bleeding. It looks at whether PPIs reduce complications during the hospital stay.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 18 years+ - NCT06863012Recruiting
Measuring liver pressure with endoscopy: a new method
This trial compares a newer, less invasive method (using an endoscope) to measure pressure in the liver's blood vessels with the standard technique. It may help people with liver disease or suspected cirrhosis better understand their condition.
BarcelonaAges 18–85 - NCT06840652Enrolling by invitation
Baclofen for alcohol withdrawal in liver disease
This trial tests if baclofen, a medicine for alcohol dependence, is safe and works for people with chronic liver disease who are actively drinking. It may help you stop drinking alcohol safely.
Sabadell, BarcelonaAges 18–75 - NCT06387745Recruiting
Checking liver health with a new device
This study tests a new device called Hepatoscope that measures your liver health without a needle. It may be a good option if you have liver problems, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome and want a simple, noninvasive check.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18–80 - NCT06160635Recruiting
D-SOLVE: Study of Hepatitis D treatments
This trial is testing treatments for people with chronic hepatitis D, a serious liver infection. If you have antibodies to the hepatitis D virus (HDV), you may be able to join and help find better ways to manage this condition.
HanoverAges 18 years+ - NCT06181409Recruiting
New scans to detect liver disease complications
This study uses two types of scans (MRI and ultrasound) to check for high pressure in the veins of your liver. It may help doctors find problems earlier without invasive tests.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06015620Recruiting
Health changes after mini gastric bypass surgery
This study looks at how mini gastric bypass surgery helps with obesity-related health problems and changes in body composition. It aims to see if patients experience improvements in conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Bhubaneswar, OdishaAges 18–65 - NCT05519475RecruitingPhase 2
Gene-silencing medicine trial for adults with MASH and liver scarring
This Phase 2 study tests a gene-silencing treatment to improve chronic liver disease called MASH, especially in people with certain genetic risk. You may be eligible if you have MASH with moderate-to-advanced scarring and specific test results, and if other liver causes and recent substance/alcohol issues don’t apply.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT06198309Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic liver disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 388 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.
