MRI vs. Ultrasound for Liver Cancer Detection in Cirrhosis
This study compares MRI and ultrasound to see which is better at finding liver cancer early in people with liver cirrhosis. It also looks at body composition and other factors that could lead to worsening liver function.
Linköping, Select A State Or ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT06687265RecruitingPhase 2
Metformin for reducing liver pressure in cirrhosis
This trial tests if metformin can lower the pressure in the liver's blood vessels (portal hypertension) in people with cirrhosis. The goal is to see if it can help reduce complications like swelling or bleeding.
Clichy, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06431919Recruiting
Adding statin to carvedilol for cirrhosis with heart problems
This trial tests whether adding a statin (simvastatin) to the usual heart medication carvedilol helps people with both cirrhosis and a related heart problem live longer and avoid serious liver complications.
ChandigarhAges 18–65 - NCT06937307RecruitingPhase 2
Droxidopa for low blood pressure in cirrhosis with kidney injury
This trial tests a medication called droxidopa to see if it can raise blood pressure in people with cirrhosis who also have acute kidney injury. If you have low blood pressure and are in the hospital with these conditions, this study may help improve your kidney function.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT06814626RecruitingPhase 3
Nutrition therapy for muscle loss in cirrhosis with fluid buildup

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05895136RecruitingPhase 2
Albumin plus blood thinner for severe cirrhosis after hospital recovery
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving albumin together with enoxaparin (a blood thinner) can improve outcomes for people hospitalized with decompensated cirrhosis who are at high risk. It may help your recovery after certain serious liver-related complications and reduce the chance of poor outcomes.
ClichyAges 18–80 - NCT02038517Recruiting

- How do I know if I qualify for a 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 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.
