Using FibroScan to Diagnose Fatty Liver in People with Obesity
This study uses a special ultrasound device called FibroScan to check for fatty liver disease (MASLD) in people with obesity who are planning to have weight-loss surgery. The results will be compared to a liver biopsy to see how well the device works.

Blood test study to predict immunotherapy success in liver cancer
This study looks at blood cells from people with liver cancer (HCC) to see if we can predict early whether immunotherapy will work for them. It's a research study that involves blood tests during your normal care.
Bologna, Laura GramantieriAges 18 years+ - NCT06778317Recruiting
Blood test to predict liver cancer in cirrhosis patients
This trial tests if a simple blood test can help predict who with cirrhosis might develop liver cancer, so doctors can monitor and treat those patients earlier.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT06781242Recruiting
Genes and symptoms in inherited bile flow problems
This study looks at how genes affect bile flow problems in the liver. If you have a rare genetic condition like PFIC, researchers want to understand your specific type better by comparing your genes to your symptoms.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06782815Recruiting
Acupuncture for stress-related insomnia in young adults
This trial tests whether specific acupuncture points can improve sleep in people with insomnia linked to stress and mood. It focuses on adults under 40 who have had trouble sleeping for at least two weeks.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–40 - NCT06787625Recruiting
Growing tumor models from colorectal cancer and liver metastases
This study takes samples from colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and grows them in the lab. The goal is to create models that can help researchers understand the cancer better and find new treatments.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06789848RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two immunotherapy drugs for advanced liver and bile duct cancers
This trial tests two investigational drugs, ligufalimab and cadonilimab, for people with advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC) or bile duct cancer (biliary tract cancer, BTC) that has not responded to previous treatment with an immunotherapy drug. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06794073Recruiting
Combination therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial is testing a combination of treatments for liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It combines a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib), an immunotherapy that boosts your immune system (PD-1 blocker), a procedure that destroys tumors with heat or cold (ablation), and a chemo procedure that delivers medicine directly to the liver (TACE). The goal is to see if this mix is safe and effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06797193Recruiting
Ultrasound technique to find liver blood pressure
This trial tests a new ultrasound technique called SHAPE to see if it can detect high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension) without needing an invasive procedure. It may help people who are already scheduled for a standard liver pressure measurement.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06811116RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adding sapanisertib to cabozantinib for beta-catenin mutant liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug (sapanisertib) to the usual chemotherapy (cabozantinib) can help people with advanced liver cancer that has a specific genetic change (beta-catenin mutation). It is for patients who have already had at least one prior treatment and are looking for a new option.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06829290Recruiting
How muscle loss affects disease course in GI cancers
This study looks at how loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) affects the course of illness in people with gastrointestinal cancers, liver cirrhosis, or those in the ICU. It will help doctors better understand and treat muscle wasting.
Mainz, Rhineland-PalatinateAges 18 years+ - NCT06851663RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New PET scan for many solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special antibody to find a marker called Trop2 on many common solid tumors. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly without needing a biopsy.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06856837RecruitingPhase 2
Fruquintinib and Tislelizumab for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, fruquintinib and tislelizumab, for people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer that has not spread to the liver. It is for those whose cancer is stable in certain DNA repair systems (MSS/pMMR) and who have already tried other treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for liver?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,253 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.
