Follow-up study for people who received gene-carrying viral vaccines
This is a follow-up study for adults who previously received certain viral vaccines that carry genes (such as vaccinia or fowlpox) through NCI trials or partner sites. The goal is to store and use your leftover samples for future research that may help doctors understand these treatments better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT00345930Recruiting
Study of liver injury after medicines or supplements

Study of congenital muscle disease patients and their families
This trial collects health information from patients with certain inherited (genetic) muscle diseases and from their families. It may help researchers better understand the disease and improve care by learning what symptoms and treatments patients experience over time.
Lakewood, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT02038517Recruiting
Liver transplant waitlist study for people without diabetes
This study is for people with end-stage cirrhosis who are on the liver transplant waitlist at this hospital. It aims to understand how getting a liver transplant may affect people with and without diabetes-related issues.
Milan, MIAges 18–65 - NCT00034216Recruiting
Blood Collection Study for Cancer Patients and Healthy Volunteers
This study collects blood samples from people with cancer and healthy volunteers to help researchers understand cancer better. Your blood will be used for laboratory studies that may improve future cancer treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT00575133Recruiting
Study of people with fatty liver disease
This study follows people who have been confirmed to have fatty liver disease seen on a liver sample. It aims to understand the condition over time and how different causes and health factors may affect it.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Greenwood Village, ColoradoAges 19–110 - NCT02917707Recruiting
Study for colon cancer that has spread to the liver
This study focuses on people with colon cancer (CRC) that has spread to the liver. It looks at factors that may affect liver metastases and could help doctors better understand who may benefit from future treatments.
Ganzhou, JiangxiAges 18–75 - NCT02174549RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a drug with liver artery treatment for liver-spread neuroendocrine cancer
This early-stage study tests a cancer drug called tirapazamine, given along with a liver artery procedure (embolization) to treat liver-dominant metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the combination can better control tumor growth in the liver.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 20–99 - NCT02423395RecruitingPhase 3
Orphenadrine for muscle cramps in people with cirrhosis
This trial tests whether orphenadrine (a medication used to reduce muscle cramping) can lessen muscle cramps in people who have cirrhosis of the liver. It may help if your cramps happen often, but you must avoid certain medication conflicts and health situations.
TantaAges Any age - NCT02863250Recruiting
Blood transfusion registry for people needing frequent transfusions
This registry collects information from adults who receive frequent red blood cell transfusions. It may help clinicians understand transfusion needs and improve future care.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT02885753RecruitingPhase 3
Liver-only metastatic colon cancer trial using targeted chemo
This Phase 3 trial tests different ways to deliver chemotherapy for colon cancer that has spread only to the liver (with limited possible tiny lung spots). It looks at whether the treatment plan improves outcomes compared with another chemotherapy approach, using oxaliplatin and LV5FU2 (with or without irinotecan) plus an added targeted medicine.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT02920554Recruiting
Surgery comparison for T2–T3 gallbladder cancer
This study looks at whether a specific type of liver surgery (removing tissue in a wedge shape versus a different liver resection) improves outcomes for some patients with T2 or T3 gallbladder cancer. It may help decide the best surgical approach after the gallbladder has already been removed.
SuwonAges 19–80 - NCT03224949Recruiting
Study comparing fatty liver types and healthy livers
This study compares liver samples and blood tests from people with alcohol-related fatty liver disease, alcohol-related hepatitis, and cirrhosis (including some with liver cancer) against healthy controls. It aims to better tell these liver conditions apart and understand what is different between them.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for liver?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,252 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.
