Recruiting studies
- NCT06119997Recruiting

Probiotic supplement study for alcohol use disorder and liver injury
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a probiotic (LGG) can improve health in people with alcohol use disorder and alcohol-related liver injury. It’s not an alcohol treatment study, so participants are mainly joining to see how the supplement affects the body and liver-related outcomes.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 21–65 - NCT03803423Recruiting

San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04115254Recruiting
MRI-guided focused radiation for certain tumors
This study tests a type of high-precision radiation guided by MRI pictures to treat certain cancers. It may help doctors deliver radiation more accurately while avoiding nearby healthy tissue, but you must be able to safely complete an MRI scan and meet tumor-size and health requirements.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05661461RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug dosing and safety for advanced cancers with liver issues
This Phase 1 study tests different doses of nab-sirolimus to see if it is safe and how the body processes it. It is for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who also have moderate liver impairment.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04681573Recruiting
Tests two non-invasive ways to check liver scarring
This study compares two non-invasive approaches to diagnose advanced liver scarring in people with non-alcohol-related fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It may help confirm which test strategy finds advanced scarring without needing a biopsy for everyone.
AngersAges 18–80 - NCT06016855RecruitingPhase 4
Surgery before radiation therapy for neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests if removing as much tumor as possible through surgery before a targeted radiation therapy (PRRT) can help people with well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to the liver. The goal is to see if this approach works better than radiation therapy alone.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06015620Recruiting
Health changes after mini gastric bypass surgery
This study looks at how mini gastric bypass surgery helps with obesity-related health problems and changes in body composition. It aims to see if patients experience improvements in conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Bhubaneswar, OdishaAges 18–65 - NCT06007846RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Memantine for advanced liver cancer and cirrhosis
This trial tests if memantine, a medication typically used for memory problems, can help people with advanced liver cancer and cirrhosis. It is for those who cannot have standard aggressive treatments.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05982769Recruiting
Exercise for cirrhosis patients
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help people with cirrhosis (scarred liver) feel stronger and improve their health. You'll be asked to exercise regularly and have tests to see how your muscles and liver respond.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21–65 - NCT05956379Enrolling by invitation
Exercise and monitoring study for chronic hepatitis B with fatty liver
This study follows adults with chronic hepatitis B who also have fatty liver and tests an exercise approach to see how it affects liver health. You may be followed over time and helped with an exercise plan if you qualify.
Taipei, Zhongzheng Dist.Ages 18–70 - NCT05969860RecruitingPhase 2
Home cancer treatment vs clinic treatment for advanced cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares giving certain standard cancer infusions at home versus in a clinic. It may help people avoid clinic visits while still receiving the same cancer treatment safely.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05954429RecruitingPhase 2
Study of fruquintinib plus immunotherapy after standard CRC treatment
This trial studies fruquintinib combined with serplulimab (an immune therapy) for advanced colorectal cancer that has spread and is no longer responding to standard treatments. It may help by slowing the cancer’s growth and improving outcomes after the usual options have been tried.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05881005Recruiting
NAC for fatty liver in people with active Cushing’s
This study tests whether NAC (a supplement/medicine) can improve liver health in adults who have active Cushing’s syndrome and fatty liver disease. It may help if your excess stress hormone levels are affecting your liver.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT05850130Recruiting
Acupuncture for nerve pain after colon cancer treatment
This trial tests whether acupuncture can relieve the nerve pain and tingling in the hands and feet that often occurs after treatment with oxaliplatin, a chemotherapy drug for gastrointestinal cancers. The study aims to help people manage this side effect and improve their daily comfort.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05835505RecruitingPhase 2
Detox medicine study for primary sclerosing cholangitis
This Phase 2 trial studies a “detoxification” approach to improve liver and bile-duct function in people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). It may help lower abnormal bile flow markers and see whether the treatment is safe for your liver.
Chestnut Hill, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT05842850Recruiting
Study of fatty liver in people born with low birth weight
This trial focuses on people who have fatty liver disease (extra fat in the liver) and were born with low birth weight. It aims to test an approach in this specific group, which may help clarify what helps the liver in higher-risk people.
AarhusAges 35–40 - NCT05782556Recruiting
Freiburg TIPS Registry for portal hypertension patients
