Recruiting studies
- NCT05783661RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotic plan guided by infection tracking in cirrhosis

Inhaled amikacin to prevent pneumonia in cirrhosis patients on ventilators
This trial tests whether inhaling an antibiotic called amikacin can prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients with severe liver disease (cirrhosis) who are on a breathing machine.

Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–75 - NCT07002827Recruiting
Growth factors for early decompensated cirrhosis
This study tests whether a combination of two medicines (G-CSF and darbepoetin) given in one or more cycles can improve the body's immune and metabolic health in people with early-stage decompensated cirrhosis (advanced liver disease with mild complications). It compares these treatments with standard medical care.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18–70 - NCT07028580Recruiting
High-Protein Plant Diet for Liver Cirrhosis
This study tests whether a special diet high in plant-based protein (with some animal protein) can help people with severe liver cirrhosis who are waiting for a kidney transplant. The diet aims to improve nutrition and health without overloading the liver.

New prediction model study for liver cirrhosis
This study is exploring a new way to predict how liver cirrhosis will progress. It may help doctors better understand and manage the condition.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07108075Recruiting
Testing metformin and carvedilol for cirrhosis with variceal bleeding
This trial tests whether adding metformin to carvedilol (a standard drug) lowers liver pressure more than carvedilol alone in people with cirrhosis who have had variceal bleeding. The goal is to prevent future bleeding.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18–75 - NCT07116096Recruiting
Handgrip strength and blood flow in liver cirrhosis
This study measures how handgrip strength relates to blood flow in the portal vein (the main vein to the liver) in people with liver cirrhosis. It aims to find simple ways to check liver health.
Luoyang, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07132515RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinners for cirrhosis with portal vein clot
This study tests whether blood thinners (anticoagulants) are safe and effective for people with cirrhosis and a blood clot in the portal vein. It may also include people with liver cancer (HCC).
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 18–70 - NCT07151885Recruiting
Using ultrasound and blood tests to predict varices risk in cirrhosis
This trial tests if a special ultrasound technique combined with liver stiffness and platelet count can predict which patients with cirrhosis have high-risk varices in the esophagus or stomach, potentially reducing the need for repeated endoscopy.
Changchun, JilinAges 18 years+ - NCT07169526Recruiting
Health literacy and confidence in alcohol-related liver cirrhosis
This study looks at how well patients with alcohol-related liver cirrhosis understand health information and feel confident managing their health. It aims to find ways to support patients better.
HanoverAges 18–99 - NCT07253389Recruiting
Comparing two TIPS techniques to prevent variceal rebleeding in cirrhosis
This trial tests a slightly smaller TIPS stent (underdilated) against the standard size to see which is better at preventing another variceal bleed in people with cirrhosis and liver scarring. It aims to find the safest way to lower pressure in the veins while reducing side effects.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT07271576Recruiting
Phycocyanin study for liver fibrosis and cirrhosis
This trial tests if phycocyanin (a natural blue pigment from spirulina) can help protect the liver and slow damage from fibrosis or cirrhosis. It may be an option if you have stable liver disease and are looking for supportive therapy.
HangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT07281846Recruiting
TIPS with or without BCAA for cirrhosis and muscle wasting
This trial tests whether adding branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) to the standard TIPS procedure helps people with cirrhosis and muscle wasting. It aims to see if BCAA can improve outcomes after TIPS.
WuhanAges 18–80 - NCT07286643Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided sepsis care for patients with cirrhosis
This study tests whether using a special ultrasound of the heart can guide treatment for sepsis-related low blood pressure in patients with cirrhosis. It aims to improve care and outcomes for critically ill patients.
ChandigarhAges 18–65 - NCT07322237RecruitingPhase 4
Study on heart function drugs for liver cirrhosis patients
This trial tests two heart medications, carvedilol and empagliflozin, to see if they improve heart function in people with cirrhosis (liver scarring). It might help those who have early signs of heart stiffness but normal pumping strength.
ChandigarhAges 18–65 - NCT07349654Recruiting
New stent method to reduce brain fog after TIPS procedure
This trial tests a modified stent placement technique during TIPS (a procedure to lower blood pressure in the liver) to see if it helps prevent confusion and memory problems that can happen afterward.

Orphenadrine for muscle cramps in people with cirrhosis
This trial tests whether orphenadrine (a medication used to reduce muscle cramping) can lessen muscle cramps in people who have cirrhosis of the liver. It may help if your cramps happen often, but you must avoid certain medication conflicts and health situations.
TantaAges Any age - NCT03267615Recruiting
Study in advanced liver scarring using pressure and stiffness tests

- 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.
