Recruiting studies
- NCT03080129Recruiting
Study gut microbes and muscle loss in liver cirrhosis
This study looks at the gut microbiome (the helpful bacteria in your gut) and muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with liver cirrhosis. It may help researchers understand what changes in the gut and body can go along with getting weaker, so better treatments can be developed.
GrazAges 18–100 - NCT07418008Recruiting
Thinking and memory study for people with liver cirrhosis
This study is creating a new test to measure thinking and memory problems in people with liver cirrhosis. It may help doctors find these problems earlier.
Ambāla, HaryanaAges 18–75 - NCT07438288Recruiting
Predicting Liver Failure in People with Cirrhosis
This study follows people with liver cirrhosis—a condition where the liver is scarred—to see who gets worse or develops sudden liver failure. The goal is to find early warning signs so doctors can help prevent serious problems.
SingaporeAges 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+ - NCT07473375Recruiting
Factors affecting portal vein clot reopening in cirrhosis
This study looks at factors that help open up blood clots in the main vein to the liver (portal vein) in people with cirrhosis and varices. It might help guide treatment to improve blood flow.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07521332RecruitingPhase 4
Testing Apixaban to Prevent Bleeding Complications in Cirrhosis
This study tests whether a blood thinner called apixaban can safely prevent dangerous bleeding in people with cirrhosis (liver scarring) who have portal hypertension (high blood pressure in veins leading to the liver). The goal is to see if it reduces bleeding risk without causing excessive bleeding.
Hyderābād, SindhAges 18 years+ - NCT06995846Enrolling by invitation
Testing bacterial DNA in belly fluid to diagnose SBP in cirrhosis
This study tests a new way to detect bacteria in the fluid in your belly (ascites) to see if it can quickly diagnose a serious infection called spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in people with cirrhosis. If you have cirrhosis and ascites, this trial may help improve how fast infections are found.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06634186Enrolling by invitation
Fiber-rich diet for liver cirrhosis patients
This study tests whether eating more dietary fiber can improve outcomes for people with liver cirrhosis and high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension). If you have cirrhosis, adding fiber to your diet might help.
Hanover, Lower SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT06624189Enrolling by invitation
Liver cancer screening decision support for cirrhosis patients
This trial tests a tool to help doctors and patients decide when to screen for liver cancer. It is for people with cirrhosis who have not had imaging in the last 6 months.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05431946Enrolling by invitation
Palliative care support for people with liver cirrhosis
This trial studies a palliative care approach—comfort-focused support aimed at improving quality of life—for people with liver cirrhosis. It may help by addressing symptoms and planning care together with you and your family.
EsbjergAges 18 years+ - NCT06084234RecruitingPhase 4
National liver cancer screening trial
This trial is testing a new way to screen for liver cancer in people with cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis B. It aims to find cancer earlier so it can be treated more effectively.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT06051617RecruitingPhase 3
Testing seladelpar for PBC with compensated cirrhosis
This study tests an experimental oral drug called seladelpar for people with PBC who also have cirrhosis that is well-controlled. The goal is to see if it helps improve liver health and manage symptoms without causing serious side effects.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05967273Recruiting
Cirrhosis treatment support system for hospitalized adults
This trial studies a computer-based “CDS” system designed to support care decisions for people hospitalized with cirrhosis. It may help doctors deliver more consistent, safer treatment while you’re in the hospital.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05484206RecruitingPhase 1
Study how liver impairment affects two investigational medicines
This Phase 1 study tests how two investigational medicines move through the body and how safe they are in people with different levels of liver impairment, compared with healthy volunteers. It may help doctors understand dosing and safety for people with liver problems.
Rialto, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT06121479Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Testing oral amino acid supplements for advanced liver disease
This trial tests if taking branched-chain amino acids by mouth can help people with cirrhosis and ascites (fluid in the belly). It aims to improve nutrition and reduce complications.
Bangkok, BangkokAges 18–85 - NCT05597488Recruiting
Measuring pressure to predict varice treatment response
This study checks whether a special ultrasound-guided measurement of blood pressure in your liver can help predict how well endoscopic treatment (banding varices or injecting bleeding sites) will work. It aims to improve outcomes by identifying who is more likely to respond.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–75 - NCT03506893Recruiting
Alfapump device to reduce stubborn belly fluid in liver disease
This study looks at whether placing an Alfapump under the skin can better manage “refractory ascites,” which is stubborn belly fluid buildup in people with cirrhosis. It also evaluates the medical and economic impact of this care, and who benefits most.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT03746210Recruiting
Testing a painless scan to study liver spots in cirrhosis
This trial studies “focal liver lesions,” meaning specific spots in the liver, using a non-invasive (no surgery or biopsy) approach. It may help doctors better understand what these spots are in people who have cirrhosis.
BonnAges 18–99 - NCT06327308RecruitingPhase 1
MRI study for heart health in liver transplant candidates
This study uses a special heart MRI to check for a heart condition called cirrhotic cardiomyopathy in people waiting for a liver transplant. The results may help doctors better understand and treat heart problems in patients with cirrhosis.
BesançonAges 18–70 - NCT07685353Recruiting
Genes and graft fat after liver transplant study
This study looks at how genetic differences between liver donors and recipients affect fat buildup in the new liver after transplantation. It may help doctors understand why some transplanted livers develop steatosis (fatty liver) after the surgery.
New DelhiAges 18 years+ - NCT06741904Enrolling by invitation
Predicting liver disease worsening without invasive tests
This study looks at new, non-invasive methods to predict when chronic liver disease might get worse. It could help you and your doctor catch problems early without needing a biopsy or other invasive procedures.
Guangzhou, GuangzhouAges 18–80 - NCT07715500Recruiting
MRI of Bile Ducts in Living Liver Donors
This study uses an MRI scan to look at the bile ducts in healthy people who want to donate part of their liver. The goal is to see if the scan can help predict and prevent bile duct problems for the person receiving the liver.
New DelhiAges 18–55 - NCT07160946Recruiting
Liver cancer risk check for people with hepatitis B
This study looks at your risk of developing liver cancer if you have hepatitis B. It uses your medical history and test results to give you a better idea of your risk and help guide next steps.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 30–75 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cirrhosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 271 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.
