Recruiting studies
- NCT06993454Recruiting
Exercise and blood sugar in type 2 diabetes with fatty liver
This study looks at how a single session of exercise affects the body's natural sugar production in people with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver. It may help us find better ways to control blood sugar and treat fatty liver.
Orlando, FloridaAges 25–55 - NCT06845345Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Can a special diet or pills help liver health?
This study compares two treatments for liver scarring in people with overweight or related health issues. One group follows a special diet with restricted eating times, while the other takes a combination of two medications (naltrexone and bupropion). It aims to see which approach better improves liver fibrosis.
RotterdamAges 18–75 - NCT05935826RecruitingPhase 3
Amino acids to reduce liver fat in teens with NAFLD
This study tests whether adding amino acids can lower fat stored in the liver of teens with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It may help improve liver health by changing how much liver fat is present over the study period.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 13–18 - NCT07128108Recruiting
Testing a new ultrasound for liver fat and scarring
This study tests a new ultrasound technique called Visual Transient Elastography (ViTE) to measure fat and scarring in the liver. If you recently had a liver biopsy, this noninvasive test could help check your liver health without another needle procedure.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06768216Recruiting
Mediterranean vs. low-fat diet for fatty liver in overweight kids
This trial compares two diets—a Mediterranean-style diet and a low-fat diet—to see which better reduces liver fat in overweight children and teens with fatty liver disease (MASLD). It aims to find a safe, effective eating plan for young people.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 8–18 - NCT03811236Recruiting
Test cold exposure to activate body fat and reduce liver fat
This study tests whether controlled cold exposure can activate “brown fat” and affect liver fat buildup. It may help people with excess liver fat, measured on imaging, but it has several health and medication exclusions.
ViennaAges 18–50 - NCT05335603Recruiting
Study of adults with liver conditions linked to fatty liver
This study looks at adults with different long-term liver conditions that are associated with fatty liver. It helps researchers better understand these diseases and factors linked to them.
HvidovreAges 18 years+ - NCT05480696RecruitingPhase 2
Soluble fiber supplement for fatty liver in kids
This Phase 2 study tests whether a soluble fiber supplement can improve fatty liver disease in children who have obesity and confirmed NAFLD. It may help reduce liver fat and related liver enzyme elevations measured during clinic visits and MRI.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 8–17 - NCT05884723Recruiting
Ketogenic diet before liver surgery for fatty liver
This trial tests whether a ketogenic (very low-carb) diet before liver surgery can reduce fat in the liver. It is aimed at people with colorectal liver metastases who already have fatty liver seen on scans or biopsy.
London, OntarioAges 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 - NCT06203548Recruiting
Tracking liver fat with a continuous monitor
This study looks at a new way to track how much fat is in your liver using a simple, continuous device. It may help people with fatty liver disease and related metabolic issues (like being overweight or having high blood sugar) avoid frequent MRI scans.
Hong KongAges 18–65 - NCT06619808Recruiting
Hyperbaric oxygen for fatty liver disease
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help people with fatty liver disease caused by metabolic issues. It may reduce liver fat and improve liver health.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06694012Recruiting
Ohtori Study Part 2 heart health
This study looks at heart and metabolic health in the general population. It helps researchers understand how to prevent conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
Sakai, OsakaAges 20 years+ - NCT06891365RecruitingPhase 1
Multiple doses of a new drug for fatty liver disease
This trial tests a new medication for people with fatty liver disease. It will see if the drug can reduce liver fat and improve liver health over several doses.
HarrowAges 18–64 - NCT07192159Recruiting
Ultrasound vs MRI for measuring liver fat in MASLD
This study compares ultrasound (DeepUSFF) and MRI (MRI-PDFF) for measuring liver fat in people with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease not caused by alcohol). It aims to see if ultrasound can be used as a cheaper, more accessible alternative to MRI.
Boardman, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07270601Recruiting
Ultrasound test for liver fat
This study is testing a new ultrasound method to measure fat in the liver. It is for people who may have a liver condition or have risk factors like diabetes or obesity, as well as healthy volunteers.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–75 - NCT07481734RecruitingPhase 2
Tesamorelin for reducing liver fat in fatty liver disease
This trial tests if tesamorelin, a daily injection, can reduce liver fat in adults with fatty liver disease. It may help people whose liver has fat but is not yet scarred into cirrhosis.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07378072Recruiting
12-week daytime eating study for fatty liver in obesity
This study tests if restricting eating to daytime hours for 12 weeks can reduce liver fat in people with obesity. It aims to help those with fatty liver disease improve their health without medication.
AngersAges 18–65 - NCT07495332Recruiting
Liver imaging study using new biomarkers
This study tests whether a new type of MRI scan can better detect and measure liver disease, including fatty liver and scarring, compared to standard CT scans. If you have chronic liver disease, this study may help improve how we diagnose and track it.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06463223Enrolling by invitation
Liver imaging study for children with obesity
This study uses MRI scans to look at the livers of children with obesity, to find early signs of liver problems. It may help doctors understand how to protect the liver in children.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hepatic steatosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 20 recruiting hepatic steatosis 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 hepatic steatosis 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 hepatic steatosis 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.
