Dihydroartemisinin for metabolic fatty liver disease
This trial tests whether dihydroartemisinin, a malaria drug that may reduce liver fat, helps people with metabolic fatty liver disease. It is for adults aged 18 to 45 who have a fatty liver and at least one metabolic problem like overweight, high blood pressure, or diabetes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–45 - NCT07068191Recruiting
Gepaktiv vs other drugs for fatty liver with enlarged liver
This study tests a new drug, Gepaktiv, compared to two other treatments (UDCA and ademetionine) for people with metabolic fatty liver disease who also have an enlarged liver. You may be able to join if you meet specific test results showing moderate liver fat and scarring.
Tyumen, Tyumen OblastAges 18–65 - NCT07470749Recruiting
Study of fatty liver and nutrition in rural Bangladesh
This study looks at metabolic fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in adults living in a rural area of Bangladesh. It aims to understand how diet and metabolic risk factors like blood sugar or cholesterol relate to the condition, which may help in finding better ways to prevent or manage it.
DhakaAges 18 years+ - NCT07564947Enrolling by invitation
Reishi Mushroom for Fatty Liver Disease
This study tests whether Ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushroom) can improve liver health and reduce inflammation in people with fatty liver disease. Researchers will measure how it affects your liver function and antioxidant levels.
Peshawar, Khyber PakhtunkhwaAges 35–49 - NCT07185932RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Rifaximin for fatty liver with metabolic issues
This trial tests if rifaximin, a gut-targeted antibiotic, can help people with fatty liver disease who also have metabolic problems like obesity or diabetes. You need a recent fatty liver diagnosis and a liver fat level of at least 8% on an MRI scan.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06798948RecruitingPhase 2
Can a mix of herbs improve mild fatty liver?
This study is testing if a combination of four herbs (artichoke, milk thistle, turmeric, and licorice root) can help people with non-alcoholic mild to moderate fatty liver disease (also called metabolic-associated fatty liver disease). It's a randomized trial, meaning participants are assigned to either the herbal mix or a comparison group. This may offer a natural option to support liver health.

Study links a liver-related cell marker to fatty liver damage
This study looks at existing health survey data to see whether a specific immune-cell marker (called HsCAR) is related to fatty liver disease and liver scarring. It may help researchers better understand which people are at higher risk for worsening liver damage.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT05984745RecruitingPhase 2
CoQ10 for fatty liver linked to metabolic issues
