Columbia, MissouriAges 18–75 - NCT03472157Recruiting
Bariatric surgery for severe NASH with advanced liver scarring
This study tests whether bariatric surgery (either sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) improves severe nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with advanced liver scarring in people who are obese. You may also need liver biopsies to confirm your liver disease before and after treatment.
LilleAges 18–65 - 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 - 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.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT03025074Recruiting
Blood sample bank for liver disease research
This study collects blood samples to build a “biobank” (a stored library of samples) for researchers studying liver diseases like hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and liver cancer. It may help future testing and treatments by allowing scientists to study patterns in people with and without liver conditions.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 7 years+ - NCT07013916Recruiting
Fructose and liver health in fatty liver disease
This study looks at how a sugar called fructose affects inflammation and metabolism in people with a type of fatty liver disease called MASH. It aims to find out if fructose plays a role in making the disease worse.
LondonAges 45–65 - NCT07312136Enrolling by invitation
Liver health follow-up study for type 2 diabetes
This study follows up on people with type 2 diabetes who already took part in an earlier study about liver health. It uses an MRI scan to check the liver for fat and other changes, helping doctors understand the long-term impact of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Linköping, Östergötland CountyAges 18 years+ - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT05385237Recruiting
4D MRI scan to spot liver scarring
This study tests whether a special MRI scan (called 4D-MRI) can identify liver scarring or damage. It may help doctors measure liver fibrosis and inflammation without relying only on invasive tests.
Liestal, Basel-LandschaftAges 18 years+ - NCT06707129Recruiting
New criteria to see if NASH liver scarring has reversed
This study is creating better ways to measure if liver scarring from NASH (a type of fatty liver disease) has improved. It may help doctors know if treatments are working.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07128108Recruiting
Testing a new ultrasound for liver fat and scarring
This study tests a new ultrasound technique called Visual Transient Elastography (ViTE) to measure fat and scarring in the liver. If you recently had a liver biopsy, this noninvasive test could help check your liver health without another needle procedure.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06755632Recruiting
Hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis screening trial
This trial screens for liver scarring (fibrosis) or severe scarring (cirrhosis) caused by hepatitis B or C. It aims to find people who may benefit from further care or treatment.
BobignyAges 18 years+ - NCT03635541Recruiting
Liver health changes in fatty liver disease
This study tracks how liver scarring (fibrosis) and fat buildup (steatosis) change over time in people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It helps doctors understand risk factors so they can better predict and manage the disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - 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.
