Peoria, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07335523Recruiting
Testing for poor digestion in Alagille syndrome after liver transplant
This study looks for signs of poor digestion after a liver transplant in people with Alagille syndrome. You collect stool samples for 3 days while on a high-fat diet to see if your pancreas is making enough enzymes.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 7–50 - NCT06974396RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing blood clotting tests in factor deficiencies or liver disease
This trial uses stored blood samples to see how well different lab tests measure clotting when someone has a factor deficiency (like low levels of clotting proteins) or liver damage. It may help doctors choose the most accurate test for these situations.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06937307RecruitingPhase 2
Droxidopa for low blood pressure in cirrhosis with kidney injury
This trial tests a medication called droxidopa to see if it can raise blood pressure in people with cirrhosis who also have acute kidney injury. If you have low blood pressure and are in the hospital with these conditions, this study may help improve your kidney function.

- 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.
