Charleston, West VirginiaAges 18 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+ - 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.

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 - NCT06533852RecruitingPhase 3

This trial studies bleeding problems in people with advanced liver cirrhosis or liver cancer. It aims to improve understanding of when blood transfusions or treatments are needed.
Stockholm, HuddingeAges 18 years+ - NCT06814990Recruiting
Heart and liver study for TIPSS patients
This study uses MRI and echocardiography to check heart function in people with alcohol-related liver cirrhosis who need a TIPSS procedure. It aims to learn more about how the heart works in these patients.
Jena, ThuringiaAges 18–99 - 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 - NCT04149223Recruiting
Hospital program to improve care for adults with cirrhosis
This trial tests a practical hospital-based program to improve how care is delivered to adults with cirrhosis. If you’re eligible, you may receive care that follows the trial’s improved approach and helps the team learn what works best.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 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 - NCT05998330Recruiting
Palliative care support for advanced liver disease patients
This study tests whether adding palliative care (extra support for symptoms and planning) during a hospital stay helps people with advanced liver disease and their caregivers feel better and plan ahead.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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 - 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+ - NCT06855056Recruiting
Studying new markers for recovery from liver cirrhosis complications
This study looks at new blood markers to better predict recovery in patients hospitalized for complications of cirrhosis (like fluid buildup, confusion, or bleeding). You may qualify if you were recently hospitalized for these issues and are expected to go home soon.
Clichy, FranceAges 18–80 - NCT06866496Recruiting
Better remission in alcohol-related liver cirrhosis
This trial tests if an optimized treatment plan can improve remission in people with liver cirrhosis caused by alcohol. It aims to help patients achieve better health outcomes.
Hvidovre, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07291141Recruiting
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+ - NCT07469319Recruiting
Liver cancer screening for people with cirrhosis
This study tests whether offering an ultrasound and a blood test (alpha-fetoprotein) every 6 months can help find liver cancer early in people with cirrhosis (scarred liver) caused by conditions other than hepatitis B or C. The goal is to reduce deaths from liver cancer in this group.
Aarhus, Central JutlandAges 40–79 - NCT03208868Recruiting
Amino acid drink to help rebuild muscle in cirrhosis
This trial tests whether a special mix of amino acids (building blocks for muscle) can help reverse muscle loss in people with cirrhosis. It aims to improve muscle health while keeping you safe from known complications of liver disease.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–70 - NCT06632457RecruitingPhase 3
Survodutide for NASH/MASH cirrhosis: a phase 3 trial
This study tests an investigational drug called survodutide for people with a type of fatty liver disease (NASH or MASH) that has progressed to cirrhosis. The goal is to see if it can improve liver health.
Peoria, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05726032RecruitingPhase 2
Empagliflozin for fluid buildup from cirrhosis
This Phase 2 study tests empagliflozin to see if it can improve fluid buildup (ascites) in people with cirrhosis. It may help reduce symptoms related to fluid retention, but you must meet specific safety and stability requirements.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07325526RecruitingPhase 2
Testing an experimental drug for liver cirrhosis caused by MASH
This study tests an investigational medicine (BI 3802876) in people with early-stage liver cirrhosis due to MASH. The goal is to see if it is well tolerated and potentially helpful.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT04874428RecruitingPhase 1

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cirrhosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 266 recruiting 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 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.
