SeoulAges 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 - NCT07086989Recruiting
Heart health study for kids with chronic conditions
This study looks at heart disease risk in children and young adults (ages 6-25) with long-term health conditions like certain heart, kidney, or diabetes disorders. The goal is to better understand and manage heart risks early.
BudapestAges 6–25 - NCT07082439RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy combo for colon cancer spread to the liver
This trial is testing a combination of two drugs (pembrolizumab and odetiglucan) for people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread mainly to the liver. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07060547Recruiting
Blood test for alcohol-related liver disease
This study tests a new blood test (HepQuant DuO) to see how well it measures liver function in people with alcohol-related liver disease. If you have liver damage from alcohol and either a recent serious liver flare-up or also a fatty liver condition (NASH), this study may help your doctors understand your liver better.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07058155RecruitingPhase 4
TIPS and weight-loss surgery for liver disease with high blood pressure
This trial tests if doing a TIPS procedure (to lower blood pressure in the liver) before weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) helps people with advanced liver disease. It's for those who have cirrhosis and very high blood pressure in the liver, and who qualify for sleeve gastrectomy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–70 - NCT07059936Recruiting
AI and scans to predict immunotherapy response in liver cancer
This study uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze your CT or MRI scans and help predict how well immunotherapy might work for your liver cancer. The goal is to find better ways to match you with the right treatment and improve your outcomes.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06989723RecruitingPhase 4
Pioglitazone and empagliflozin for fatty liver in type 2 diabetes
This trial tests two diabetes pills (pioglitazone and empagliflozin) to see if they can reduce liver fat in people with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease. It may help if your diabetes is not well controlled and you have a fatty liver confirmed by a special ultrasound scan.
Seongnam-siAges 20 years+ - NCT07050550Recruiting
PET imaging test for people with liver injury
This study tests a new PET imaging agent called ¹⁸F-DFA to see if it can measure liver damage and liver failure. It may help doctors better understand your liver condition using a specialized scan.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT07043387Recruiting
Simplified radioembolization for liver cancer and bile duct cancer
This trial tests a streamlined way to deliver radioactive beads (radioembolization) directly to liver tumors in people with metastatic liver cancer or bile duct cancer. It aims to make treatment simpler and safer while still effectively targeting tumors.
Goyang-siAges 19 years+ - NCT07042308Recruiting
Study of advanced chronic liver disease over time
This study follows people with advanced chronic liver disease to understand how their condition changes over time. If you have cirrhosis or high liver stiffness, you may be able to join to help researchers track the disease and learn more about it.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07042841Enrolling by invitation
AI planning system for liver cancer treatment
This trial uses an AI system to help doctors plan surgery for liver cancer. It is for people who have had a CT scan of their liver and may or may not have a liver tumor.

Iron and liver health after stem cell transplant
This study looks at how too much iron in the body (from past transfusions) affects the liver in people who had a stem cell transplant at least 10 years ago. It will help doctors understand who needs special monitoring for liver problems.

City-Hospital Collaboration for Early Liver Fibrosis Detection
This study looks at whether a city-hospital partnership can help find liver fibrosis (early scarring of the liver) earlier in people who get a Fibroscan test ordered by their primary care doctor. It is for adults whose Fibroscan result was at least 8 kPa and who had the test between 2023 and 2026.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT07027605Recruiting

Laparoscopic spleen surgery to protect liver function in cirrhosis
This trial looks at whether a minimally invasive spleen surgery (with a specific vein-disconnection procedure) can better protect liver function in people with cirrhosis who have had variceal bleeding. It may help reduce stress on the liver after treatment, but you must meet several safety criteria.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for liver?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,219 recruiting liver 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 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 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.
