Tranexamic acid and vitamin K for bleeding in cirrhosis
This trial tests if giving tranexamic acid and vitamin K by injection can help control bleeding from the upper digestive tract in people with liver cirrhosis. It may offer a way to stop bleeding more quickly.
Tanta, GharbyeaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07268196Recruiting
How a liver transplant affects sexual function
This study looks at how a liver transplant affects a person's sex life and sexual function. It includes married men who either are waiting for a transplant or have already had one with a healthy working liver.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18–60 - 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+ - NCT07252102Recruiting
High-flow oxygen during sedation for critical patients having GI endoscopy
This trial tests whether high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNC) reduces low oxygen levels during sedated gastrointestinal procedures. It is for patients with higher health risks (ASA grade III–IV) who need an endoscopy or treatment.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07241195Recruiting
Fatty Liver Study in Older Adults
This study follows older adults with fatty liver disease to understand how their metabolism changes over time and how it affects their overall health. It helps researchers learn more about the condition and its impact on the body outside the liver.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 65–100 - NCT07248722Enrolling by invitation
Pantoprazole after preventive variceal treatment
This trial tests whether a heartburn medication (pantoprazole) helps patients with liver cirrhosis who have had a procedure to treat enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach. It looks at how well the medicine works when given after this procedure to prevent complications.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT07249112Recruiting
Genomic study of metabolic fatty liver disease
This study aims to understand the genetic factors behind metabolic fatty liver disease (MASLD) by comparing patients with advanced liver scarring or liver cancer to healthy blood donors. It may help doctors better predict and treat the disease in the future.
Milan, MilanoAges 18–90 - NCT07205471Recruiting
Partial spleen removal via laparoscopy for cirrhosis-related hypersplenism
This study is testing a keyhole surgery to remove part of an enlarged spleen in people with cirrhosis. It aims to improve low blood counts and reduce the risk of further bleeding from stomach or esophagus veins.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07201649Recruiting
Liver disease and artery calcification study
This study looks at how liver function and scarring affect calcium buildup in arteries. It may help people waiting for a liver transplant understand these changes.
Nice, Alpes-maritimesAges 18 years+ - NCT07191886Recruiting
Managing liver disease: what matters to you?
This study asks people with liver disease about their needs and concerns during regular clinic visits. Your answers may help doctors improve care for others.

Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 30–75 - NCT07122622Recruiting
Spleen stiffness test to check for dangerous veins in the liver
This trial uses a non-invasive ultrasound test to measure spleen stiffness, which may help find problems with blood pressure in the liver and identify enlarged veins that can bleed. It could help avoid more invasive tests.
