Recruiting studies
- NCT07073326Recruiting

Does niacin help move fat from liver to fat tissue?
This study tests if niacin (a B vitamin) can help the body store fat safely in fat tissue instead of letting it build up in the liver. It may be an option for people with fatty liver linked to belly fat, without serious liver damage or other health issues.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 20–80 - NCT06890234Enrolling by invitation

Tuscaloosa, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05648214RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new liver medicine in people with fatty liver
This early-phase study tests whether ALN-PNP is safe and well tolerated, first in healthy adults and then in adults with MASLD (fatty liver disease). If you have MASLD, it may help researchers learn whether this medicine is a promising option for treating liver fat buildup.

Fatty liver risk screening in the emergency department
This study looks at fatty liver findings on emergency department scans. If you have fatty liver and were sent home from the ED, the study may help connect you to follow-up care and avoid future liver problems.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07090083Recruiting
Liver health and food support for children
This study tests whether providing fruit and vegetable vouchers to families with children who have fatty liver disease can improve liver health. Diet and lifestyle are key to managing this condition.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 6–17 - NCT06704516RecruitingPhase 1
HRT and fatty liver disease in menopausal women – a pilot study
This study tests whether starting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) improves liver health in women with menopause and fatty liver disease (MASLD). It aims to understand how HRT might help reduce fat in the liver.
Oxford, OxfordshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07652151Recruiting
Fatty Liver Disease Study Using Wearable Tracking
This research studies fatty liver disease linked to metabolic problems like diabetes and obesity. You'll wear a fitness tracker and have liver imaging to help doctors understand the disease and find new treatments.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT07400367Recruiting
Probiotics and lifestyle changes for fatty liver disease
This trial tests whether taking probiotics plus making lifestyle changes can improve fatty liver and metabolic health. You may qualify if you have liver fat and at least one sign of metabolic problems like high blood sugar or high blood pressure.
New Taipei CityAges 18–80 - NCT07450144Recruiting
Chatbot to Help Reduce Alcohol in Fatty Liver Disease
This study tests a chatbot that helps people with fatty liver disease reduce how much they drink. If you drink regularly and are ready to change, this tool could support you.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07603817Recruiting
Thyroid Disease and Fatty Liver Disease Study
This study looks at the connection between thyroid problems (especially when the thyroid doesn't make enough hormone) and a common liver condition where fat builds up in the liver. Researchers want to understand how these two conditions relate to each other in people without diabetes.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06535945RecruitingPhase 4
Albumin to protect kidney function after liver transplant
This trial tests whether giving albumin (a protein in your blood) after a liver transplant can help prevent or reduce kidney damage. It is for adults receiving their first liver-only transplant from a deceased donor.
Chambray-lès-ToursAges 18 years+ - NCT07330830Recruiting
Genetics and fatty liver disease in Caribbean and Indian Ocean populations
This study looks at how a specific gene (PNPLA3) might affect non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (MASLD) in people from Guadeloupe, French Guiana, and Réunion Island. It aims to understand genetic differences that could explain why some people get the disease.
CayenneAges 18 years+ - NCT07658755Recruiting
LiverSeek: Finding advanced liver scarring in MASLD
This study uses routine blood tests to find people with advanced liver scarring caused by a condition called MASLD. If you are between 50 and 75, have certain metabolic risks, and get blood work from your primary care doctor at select centers, you may be eligible.
Madrid, MadridAges 50–75 - NCT07600788RecruitingPhase 1
Liver Function and Safety Study of AHB-137 Injection
This study tests how a new investigational drug called AHB-137 moves through your body and affects safety in people with mild-to-moderate liver problems compared to people with normal liver function. The goal is to understand if the drug works safely in people whose livers don't work as well as they should.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06868992Recruiting
Study of MASH and cell changes in weight-loss surgery
This study looks at a possible link between MASH (liver inflammation with fat buildup) and tiny cell structures that help liver cells work. Researchers want to understand this better in people having weight-loss surgery, where a small liver sample will be taken.
Lyon, FranceAges 18–99 - NCT07280143Recruiting
MASLD risk in breast or colorectal cancer survivors
This study looks at whether breast or colorectal cancer survivors are more likely to develop a liver condition called MASLD (fatty liver disease not caused by alcohol). It uses blood tests, imaging, and possibly an MRI to check liver health.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06703450Enrolling by invitation
Liver fibrosis study with MRI for MASLD patients
This study is testing whether an MRI can help doctors see liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with MASLD, a type of fatty liver disease. It is for patients who already need a liver biopsy as part of their care, to compare the MRI results with the biopsy.
New York, New YorkAges 18–89 - NCT07313007Recruiting
Gut bacteria chemicals in fatty liver disease
This study looks at whether the natural chemicals made by your gut bacteria from the food you eat could affect liver fat and health. If you have MASLD (a fatty liver condition), researchers want to measure these gut-produced substances to better understand the disease.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for liver dysfunction?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 118 recruiting liver dysfunction 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 dysfunction 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 dysfunction 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.
