Pyramidal vs continuous exercise for fatty liver
This study compares two exercise programs to see which works better for people with fatty liver disease and obesity. It may help improve liver health through different workout styles.
GizaAges 37–51 - NCT06814600Recruiting
Fatty liver study in inflammatory bowel disease patients
This study checks how often people with Crohn's or ulcerative colitis also have fatty liver disease. It uses a painless scan to measure liver stiffness and fat. If you have IBD, you may join to help researchers learn about the link between these conditions.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05974904Recruiting
Study links a liver-related cell marker to fatty liver damage
This study looks at existing health survey data to see whether a specific immune-cell marker (called HsCAR) is related to fatty liver disease and liver scarring. It may help researchers better understand which people are at higher risk for worsening liver damage.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT03535142Recruiting
Fatty liver in people considering bariatric surgery
This study looks at how fatty liver disease may predict future liver health in people with severe weight gain. It compares people who are planning bariatric (weight-loss) surgery with similar people who are not, to better understand who may be at higher risk.
EsbjergAges 18 years+ - NCT07330830Recruiting
Genetics and fatty liver disease in Caribbean and Indian Ocean populations
This study looks at how a specific gene (PNPLA3) might affect non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (MASLD) in people from Guadeloupe, French Guiana, and Réunion Island. It aims to understand genetic differences that could explain why some people get the disease.
CayenneAges 18 years+ - NCT07321925Recruiting
Using sound waves to measure liver fat
This study tests a new method that uses sound waves to measure fat in your liver. It could help doctors check liver health without a biopsy.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06873165Recruiting
Gut bacteria treatment for fatty liver disease
This study tests whether a specially designed gut bacteria treatment can help people with fatty liver disease and related health issues like high blood sugar, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and improves liver health.
TaipeiAges 18–70 - NCT04807868Recruiting
Liver fat registry for adults with or at risk for fatty liver
This study builds a research registry (and optional test results follow-up) for adults who either need a routine liver biopsy or may have fatty liver risk based on body weight and other health history. It helps researchers learn more about non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (fatty liver not caused by alcohol) and how it may progress.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07308548RecruitingPhase 2
Testing HP515 for fatty liver disease (NASH/MASH)

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06883578Recruiting
Effect of a low valine diet on body weight and metabolism
This trial studies if a diet low in valine, a building block of protein, can help people with excess weight lose weight and improve their metabolic health. It may offer an alternative approach for weight loss.
