Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07083336Recruiting
Diet study for type 2 diabetes with fatty liver disease
This trial tests a specific medical nutrition therapy diet to see if it can reduce liver fat and improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. It may help you manage both conditions with a dietary approach.

Precision diagnosis and treatment study for liver cancer
This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose and treat liver cancer by combining advanced imaging tests and genetic analysis. It may help in choosing the most effective treatment for each person.
BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT07142213Recruiting
Studying a two-step liver surgery for liver cancer
This trial looks at a special two-step surgery called ALPPS for people with liver cancer that can't be removed in one operation. The first step helps the liver grow more healthy tissue, and then the second step removes the tumor. The goal is to understand how well this works and how the liver regenerates.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07145801RecruitingPhase 2
Y-90 treatment response for liver cancer
This trial tests how well a Y-90 radiation treatment works for liver cancer that hasn't been treated before. It uses ultrasound imaging to check the response.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07149571Recruiting
New MRI for metabolic fatty liver disease
This study uses a new MRI technique to measure how metabolic fatty liver disease affects your body and to track your health over time. It aims to improve understanding of the condition and guide treatment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges Any age - NCT07150624RecruitingPhase 4
Polyene phosphatidylcholine for liver injury after surgery
This trial tests whether a medicine called polyene phosphatidylcholine can help protect the liver from damage after surgery for liver cancer. It is for people who are having a specific type of keyhole surgery to remove part of the liver.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT07151885Recruiting
Using ultrasound and blood tests to predict varices risk in cirrhosis
This trial tests if a special ultrasound technique combined with liver stiffness and platelet count can predict which patients with cirrhosis have high-risk varices in the esophagus or stomach, potentially reducing the need for repeated endoscopy.
Changchun, JilinAges 18 years+ - NCT07157631Recruiting
Tranexamic acid for adults having liver transplant
This trial tests if tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps blood clot, can safely reduce bleeding during adult liver transplant surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07169526Recruiting
Health literacy and confidence in alcohol-related liver cirrhosis
This study looks at how well patients with alcohol-related liver cirrhosis understand health information and feel confident managing their health. It aims to find ways to support patients better.
HanoverAges 18–99 - NCT07192159Recruiting
Ultrasound vs MRI for measuring liver fat in MASLD
This study compares ultrasound (DeepUSFF) and MRI (MRI-PDFF) for measuring liver fat in people with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease not caused by alcohol). It aims to see if ultrasound can be used as a cheaper, more accessible alternative to MRI.
Boardman, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07193927RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a probiotic mix for fatty liver disease (MASLD)
This trial tests whether a probiotic mixture can improve liver health in people with moderate fatty liver disease (MASLD). It looks at how the probiotic affects liver fat, inflammation, and metabolism.
Girona, GironaAges 18–75 - NCT07214870RecruitingPhase 1
A study of a new medicine for liver disease in adults with extra body weight and liver fat
This trial tests a potential new medicine (NNC4005-0001) for liver disease in adults who have extra body weight and excess fat in their liver. It aims to see if the medicine can help improve liver health.

- 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.
