Recruiting studies near Boston
- NCT06525623Recruiting
Early albumin for kidney injury in cirrhosis
This study tests whether giving a common fluid (albumin) early can help protect the kidneys in people with advanced liver disease who have a sudden kidney injury. It aims to see if this simple treatment can improve recovery and prevent the need for dialysis.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05463796Recruiting
Prevention and early detection for people at high cancer risk
This study looks at surveillance (watching closely), prevention, and early “interception” steps to lower the chance that cancer will develop or be found later. It is for people with genetic risk, past cancer treatment exposures, strong family history, or certain early pre-cancer or high-risk conditions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT05998330Recruiting
Palliative care support for advanced liver disease patients
This study tests whether adding palliative care (extra support for symptoms and planning) during a hospital stay helps people with advanced liver disease and their caregivers feel better and plan ahead.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05028829RecruitingPhase 2
Atorvastatin to lower liver cancer risk in people with liver scarring
This trial tests whether atorvastatin (a cholesterol medicine) can lower the chance of liver cancer (HCC) in people with advanced liver scarring or cirrhosis. Participants are compared to placebo (inactive pill) while researchers track safety and cancer risk.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05486572Recruiting
Ultrasound or MRI to help prevent liver cancer deaths
This study compares ultrasound scans versus MRI scans to see which one better helps prevent deaths from liver cancer in people with cirrhosis. You may be assigned to one of the two imaging tests and follow-up visits to track whether liver cancer develops or is caught early.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT05205954Recruiting
Home hospital care for adults with advanced liver disease
This pilot study tests whether a “home hospital” program can safely care for people with advanced liver disease after they are admitted to the hospital. It may reduce time in the hospital while still treating serious complications like fluid buildup, breathing fluid, or confusion from liver disease.

What taking part in a liver cirrhosis study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
