Chandler, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT03584204Recruiting
Imaging study for people with liver cirrhosis
This study looks at how liver cirrhosis shows up on non-invasive imaging like CT scans, and how those findings relate to outcomes. It may help researchers better understand what scan patterns could signal disease severity.
BonnAges 18–80 - NCT07286643Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided sepsis care for patients with cirrhosis
This study tests whether using a special ultrasound of the heart can guide treatment for sepsis-related low blood pressure in patients with cirrhosis. It aims to improve care and outcomes for critically ill patients.
ChandigarhAges 18–65 - 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.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06224023Recruiting
Presepsin levels in ascites fluid in liver failure
This study is testing whether a blood test for presepsin (a protein that can show infection) can help predict infection in the belly fluid of people with chronic liver failure and ascites. If you have ascites and liver failure, this trial may help doctors better spot infections early.
BucharestAges 18 years+ - NCT04246970Enrolling by invitation
Training program before and after liver transplant
This trial studies a structured exercise and training program before and after liver transplantation to help people recover better. You may be able to benefit if you’re getting an elective liver transplant and can safely participate in the training plan.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT05045482RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug in people with cirrhosis from blocked bile flow
This Phase 1 trial studies how saroglitazar magnesium works in people with liver scarring (cirrhosis) caused by a bile-flow problem. It helps doctors understand safety and how the body handles the medicine in this specific liver condition.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–80 - NCT04448028RecruitingPhase 4
Stopping acid pills in liver cirrhosis: test placebo effect
This study tests whether stopping proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) acid-reducing medication is safe and works as expected for people with liver cirrhosis. Participants switch to either the study medication or a placebo (inactive pill) under close monitoring.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07414095Recruiting
Frailty assessment before liver transplant and outcomes
This study looks at how frail liver transplant candidates are before surgery and whether that affects their recovery afterward. Participants will complete simple physical and mental tasks to help doctors better understand their overall health before the transplant.
IzmirAges 18–65 - NCT07681089RecruitingPhase 2
Foscenvivint for HIV/HCV cirrhosis with hemophilia
This trial tests a drug called foscenvivint for people with hemophilia and liver cirrhosis caused by both HIV and hepatitis C (already treated). The study aims to see if it can help improve liver health.
Sapporo, HokkaidoAges 18–79 - NCT04578301Recruiting
Predicting who develops serious liver worsening after surgery
This study looks at your liver health before and after surgery to predict the risk of “acute-on-chronic liver failure,” which means a sudden worsening of liver function on top of an existing liver condition. If you qualify, your doctors may use study data to better identify who needs closer monitoring after surgery.
BonnAges 18 years+ - NCT07002827Recruiting
Growth factors for early decompensated cirrhosis
This study tests whether a combination of two medicines (G-CSF and darbepoetin) given in one or more cycles can improve the body's immune and metabolic health in people with early-stage decompensated cirrhosis (advanced liver disease with mild complications). It compares these treatments with standard medical care.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18–70 - NCT06864195Recruiting
Breath test for liver cancer detection
This study tests a simple breath test to detect liver cancer and monitor liver health. It is looking for patients with liver cancer, liver cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, or people with normal livers to see if the breath test can help tell the difference.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05667805RecruitingPhase 4
Testing blood clotting in people with liver cirrhosis
This Phase 4 study looks at how clotting measurements relate to bleeding risk in people with liver cirrhosis who need a planned liver procedure. The study may help doctors understand what coagulation results mean when doing these procedures safely.
