Ultrasound-based test to tell benign from malignant liver tumors
This study uses ultrasound images to help tell the difference between benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) liver tumors without needing a needle biopsy.

San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04588077RecruitingPhase 4
Two-dose vs three-dose hepatitis B vaccine for cirrhosis
This study compares giving the hepatitis B vaccine in 2 doses versus 3 doses for people with cirrhosis who do not yet have protection against hepatitis B. It may help your care team choose the schedule most likely to build lasting immunity.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05618626Recruiting
Lifestyle program to prevent fatty liver and heart disease
This trial tests whether a structured lifestyle program—focused on healthy living and resistance exercise—can help prevent fatty liver disease and heart-related problems. It may be helpful if you have early or mild fatty liver changes or risk factors, even if you also have gallstones.
Molina, Maule RegionAges 45–60 - 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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT06751862Recruiting
How sugars affect fat in the liver
This study looks at how different types of sugars affect fat buildup in the liver. It is for men who are either at a healthy weight or have obesity, and also for men with a specific amount of liver fat (mild to moderate fatty liver).
Prague, Czech RepublicAges 18–70 - NCT06824974Recruiting
Time-restricted eating for liver disease or cancer
This study tests whether combining time-restricted eating with healthy eating helps people with metabolic liver disease, cirrhosis, or early-stage liver cancer. If you are overweight and currently fast less than 12 hours at night, this diet approach might improve your health.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06883578Recruiting
Effect of a low valine diet on body weight and metabolism
This trial studies if a diet low in valine, a building block of protein, can help people with excess weight lose weight and improve their metabolic health. It may offer an alternative approach for weight loss.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 16–80 - 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 - NCT07519057Recruiting
Carbohydrate drink before liver transplant surgery
This study tests whether drinking a carbohydrate solution before planned liver transplant surgery helps patients recover better afterward. Researchers believe it may reduce complications and improve healing.

Liver fibrosis test study for fatty liver disease
This study is looking for new ways to detect liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with fatty liver disease (NAFLD, NASH, MASLD, or MASH). If you qualify, you will give a blood sample to help identify biomarkers that could replace biopsies.
CopenhagenAges 18–75 - NCT05855031Recruiting
Liver care support for people getting alcohol-use treatment

Reishi Mushroom for Fatty Liver Disease
This study tests whether reishi mushroom (a type of fungus) can improve liver health in people with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease—a condition where fat builds up in the liver. Researchers want to see if this natural supplement can reduce liver inflammation and improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
LahoreAges 35–65 - NCT04073290RecruitingPhase 4
Rifaximin and lactulose to prevent confusion after TIPS
This trial studies whether taking rifaximin plus lactulose can prevent a brain problem called hepatic encephalopathy (confusion) after TIPS, a procedure to reduce pressure in the liver. It may help people who are having TIPS planned and are at risk of this complication.

Testing AZD2389 for fatty liver disease with scarring
This study tests whether a new drug called AZD2389 is safe and well-tolerated in adults with steatotic liver disease (fatty liver) that has progressed to advanced scarring. The trial aims to see if this drug might help slow or improve liver damage in people with this condition.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for liver diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 443 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.
