- NCT06855056Recruiting
Studying new markers for recovery from liver cirrhosis complications
This study looks at new blood markers to better predict recovery in patients hospitalized for complications of cirrhosis (like fluid buildup, confusion, or bleeding). You may qualify if you were recently hospitalized for these issues and are expected to go home soon.
Clichy, FranceAges 18–80 - NCT04617522RecruitingPhase 1
Sacituzumab govitecan for advanced cancers with moderate liver issues
This Phase 1 study tests how safe and tolerable sacituzumab govitecan is for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who also have moderate liver impairment. It aims to find the right dosing so the treatment can be used more safely in this liver-risk group.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07284836RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo directly to liver for breast cancer
This trial tests a new way to give chemotherapy directly to the liver for breast cancer that has spread only there. It's for people who have already tried two or more standard treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT03920618Recruiting
Testing three HBV medicines for severe liver flare (ACLF)
This study compares three hepatitis B (HBV) medicines to see which treatment helps people with a severe liver flare. You may be eligible if you have confirmed HBV and lab results showing significant liver stress.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 12–65 - NCT05484908Recruiting
Tested treatment for hepatitis B-related liver cancer after immunotherapy
This trial studies whether the ALSS treatment is safe and effective for people with hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma who recently received immune checkpoint inhibitors. It may help improve outcomes for certain liver-related complications after immunotherapy, based on how their liver tests look.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05726032RecruitingPhase 2
Empagliflozin for fluid buildup from cirrhosis
This Phase 2 study tests empagliflozin to see if it can improve fluid buildup (ascites) in people with cirrhosis. It may help reduce symptoms related to fluid retention, but you must meet specific safety and stability requirements.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06562803Recruiting
Cleaning the blood for liver failure with sepsis
This trial tests if a special blood-filtering method combined with plasma exchange can help people with severe liver failure and sepsis. It aims to reduce inflammation and improve survival.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06948565Recruiting
Cirrhosis patients in the ICU: a 10-year review
This study looks back at medical records of people with cirrhosis who were treated in an intensive care unit (ICU) over the last 10 years. Researchers want to understand what factors affect their recovery and outcomes.
BesançonAges Any age - NCT07198854Recruiting
Stem cell treatment for liver failure in hepatitis B patients
This trial looks at how well stem cell (MSC) treatment works for people with severe liver failure caused by hepatitis B. It checks what factors affect the success of the treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT01757730Recruiting
MRI test to measure soft tissue stiffness
This trial uses a special type of MRI to estimate how stiff certain soft tissues are in the body. You may benefit by helping doctors better measure tissue stiffness, which can relate to different health problems.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02699736Enrolling by invitation
HIV and hepatitis C study in European adults
This study follows people living with HIV who also have hepatitis C antibodies, to better understand how HIV and hepatitis C affect health over time. You may be able to join if you meet the age and enrollment requirements, even if your hepatitis C virus level is currently undetectable.
Buenos AiresAges 16 years+ - NCT07270809Recruiting
Chronic liver disease with organ failure: early outcomes study
This study follows patients with chronic liver disease who are hospitalized non-electively for organ failure, to understand the course of illness and outcomes over six months. It may help doctors improve care for similar patients.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18–70 - NCT06910943RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Choline for teens and adults with intestinal failure on long-term IV nutrition
This trial tests if adding choline chloride to IV nutrition can help people with intestinal failure who need long-term IV support. It aims to see if it improves liver health without causing side effects.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 12 years+ - NCT05089149Recruiting
Check how lung ultrasound helps manage heart failure congestion
This study looks at people with long-term worsening heart failure who are coming to the hospital for a planned visit, to see how checking “congestion” (fluid buildup) may guide care. It may help the team understand whether lung ultrasound can better assess who needs treatment changes.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04332692Recruiting
Check if a lung ultrasound helps evaluate discharge after heart failure
This study looks at whether doing lung ultrasounds can better assess people right before they leave the hospital after an acute heart failure flare. It may help doctors decide when someone is ready for discharge and tailor care to reduce risk after leaving.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04343430Recruiting
Hospital study for fluid buildup in heart failure with preserved heart function
This study looks at how well doctors can assess fluid buildup before you leave the hospital if you have a type of heart failure called “preserved ejection fraction.” It may help improve decisions about when and how safely people are discharged.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04343443Recruiting
Test whether a lung ultrasound helps discharge planning after heart failure
This study looks at people hospitalized for worsening heart failure with weaker pumping (reduced ejection fraction). It tests whether a lung ultrasound evaluation near discharge can improve how doctors decide it is safe to send you home.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05001009Enrolling by invitation
Goals of care conversation support for certain serious illnesses
This study helps primary care clinicians and their patients have structured “goals of care” conversations (about what matters most and care preferences). It may help you get clearer, earlier planning—especially if you have a serious illness and higher risk of hospitalization or death.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05097898Recruiting
Check fluid buildup in heart failure with normal pumping
This study evaluates how well doctors can assess “fluid congestion” in people with chronic heart failure where the heart’s squeezing is still preserved. It may help improve how patients are monitored during hospital visits.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT07476703Recruiting
Extended study on the SCAPIS Stockholm reexamined group
This trial studies data and samples from people already taking part in the main SCAPIS reexamination study in Stockholm. It looks for new findings to help understand heart and lung health.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for liver failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 68 recruiting liver failure 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 failure 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 failure 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.
