Safety Study of INCB123667 in Adults With Liver Damage
This study tests how a new experimental medicine (INCB123667) works and is tolerated in adults with moderate to severe liver problems. Researchers want to understand how the body processes this drug and whether it's safe in people with liver dysfunction.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT07527910RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ALN-PNP with or without tirzepatide for fatty liver disease
This trial tests a new drug, ALN-PNP, alone or with tirzepatide in people with a specific genetic type of fatty liver disease. It aims to see if the combination reduces liver fat.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT07530809Recruiting
Time-Restricted Eating for Fatty Liver Disease
This study tests whether eating within a limited time window each day can improve fatty liver disease (a buildup of fat in the liver). If you have moderate-to-advanced fatty liver disease and are overweight, this trial might help you learn if changing when you eat—rather than what you eat—can reduce liver fat and improve your health.
Homburg, SaarlandAges 18–75 - NCT07493967Enrolling by invitation
Stomach balloon for fatty liver disease study
This study looks at how a stomach balloon affects symptoms and quality of life in people with obesity and fatty liver disease. It will track your health over time to see if the balloon helps.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06694935RecruitingPhase 1
Testing QX1206 in type 2 diabetes with fatty liver
This trial tests a new pill called QX1206 for people who have both Type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The goal is to see if the medicine is safe and can help improve both conditions.
TorontoAges 18–64 - NCT06774690Recruiting
Arterial treatments for primary liver cancer
This study is watching how treatments that deliver medicine or tiny beads directly into the liver's blood supply work for people with liver cancer. If you have liver cancer and are getting or have gotten one of these treatments, this study wants to learn from your experience.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06781242Recruiting
Genes and symptoms in inherited bile flow problems
This study looks at how genes affect bile flow problems in the liver. If you have a rare genetic condition like PFIC, researchers want to understand your specific type better by comparing your genes to your symptoms.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07471542Recruiting
Copper supplements for cirrhosis patients
This trial tests whether taking copper supplements can help people with cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) who have low copper levels or symptoms related to copper deficiency. It aims to see if this can improve their health.

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 - NCT07440511Recruiting
Spleen stiffness test for advanced liver scarring
This study tests a new way to measure liver scarring using a non-invasive ultrasound of the spleen (spleen stiffness measurement). It's for people with fatty liver disease (MASLD) who have advanced fibrosis (scarring) to see if this method can accurately detect the severity of liver damage.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06634160Recruiting
Fatty liver disease in people with high cholesterol

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for liver diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 423 recruiting liver diseases 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 liver diseases 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 liver diseases 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.
