Detroit, MichiganAges 16 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+ - NCT06305624Recruiting
Smartphone app to help people with alcohol-related liver disease stop drinking
This trial tests whether a smartphone program can help people with alcohol-related liver disease reduce or stop drinking. If you have liver disease related to alcohol and have used alcohol in the past 6 months, this app-based support may be for you.
Lansing, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07165028RecruitingPhase 3
Study of new drugs for fatty liver with scarring
This trial tests new medicines for adults with fatty liver disease (MASLD) that has already caused some liver scarring. It aims to see if these drugs can help prevent the liver disease from getting worse.
Clinton Township, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06165341RecruitingPhase 3
Fazirsiran for mild liver scarring in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
This study tests an investigational drug called fazirsiran, which is designed to treat alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-related liver disease with mild scarring. The goal is to see if fazirsiran is safe and can improve or slow liver damage in people with the PiZZ genetic type.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–75 - NCT07646197Recruiting
Peanut Consumption and Fatty Liver Disease in Adults
This study tests whether eating peanuts regularly can help improve fatty liver disease (a condition where fat builds up in the liver). You'll be asked to eat peanuts as part of your diet while researchers track changes in your liver health.
Detroit, MichiganAges 30–70 - NCT03228290Recruiting
Liver transplant care study using patient function check
This study looks at how people with liver disease function day to day, especially around liver transplant care. It may help improve how doctors assess readiness and recovery needs.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06632444RecruitingPhase 3
Study of survodutide for liver disease NASH/MASH with fibrosis
This trial tests an investigational drug called survodutide for people with NASH or MASH, a type of fatty liver disease that also has liver scarring (moderate or advanced fibrosis). The goal is to see if the drug can improve the condition.
Clinton Township, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06632457RecruitingPhase 3
Survodutide for NASH/MASH cirrhosis: a phase 3 trial
This study tests an investigational drug called survodutide for people with a type of fatty liver disease (NASH or MASH) that has progressed to cirrhosis. The goal is to see if it can improve liver health.
Clinton Township, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07459504RecruitingPhase 2
Smart diets for kids with fatty liver disease
This study compares different diet plans to see which works best to reduce fat in the liver of children and teens with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease). If your child drinks sugary beverages often and has certain health risks like being overweight or having high cholesterol, this trial may help find a healthy eating plan that works.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 11–17 - NCT06318169RecruitingPhase 3
Testing pegozafermin for MASH and liver fibrosis
This trial tests an experimental drug called pegozafermin to see if it can help people with MASH (a fatty liver disease) and liver scarring (fibrosis). It's for people who have moderate-to-advanced scarring but not cirrhosis, and who have not had other serious liver conditions or poorly controlled diabetes.
Chesterfield, MichiganAges 18–80 - NCT05677971RecruitingPhase 3
Tested medicine to treat liver scarring in PiZZ alpha-1 disease
This Phase 3 study tests fazirsiran for safety and whether it can help people with a specific genetic form of alpha-1 antitrypsin–related liver disease that causes liver scarring. You may be eligible if you have the PiZZ genetic type and moderate-to-severe fibrosis, with certain lung and liver conditions ruled out.
Novi, MichiganAges 18–75 - NCT00345930Recruiting
Study of liver injury after medicines or supplements
This study looks at people (including children over age 2) who develop liver injury that may be caused by a drug or a complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) product. It helps doctors better understand what causes the injury and how to evaluate it.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 2 years+ - NCT06075745RecruitingPhase 2
CMV Vaccine Study for Liver Transplant Candidates
This trial tests a vaccine to prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in people awaiting a first liver transplant. You may be eligible if you have never been infected with CMV and are scheduled to receive a liver transplant within the next 1 to 12 months.

What taking part in a liver diseases 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.
