Testing a new drug for liver cirrhosis from fatty liver disease
This trial tests if a new medicine, BI 3802876, is safe and tolerable for people with compensated liver cirrhosis caused by MASH (a type of fatty liver disease). Participants must have early-stage cirrhosis without complications like fluid buildup or bleeding.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT07400367Recruiting
Probiotics and lifestyle changes for fatty liver disease
This trial tests whether taking probiotics plus making lifestyle changes can improve fatty liver and metabolic health. You may qualify if you have liver fat and at least one sign of metabolic problems like high blood sugar or high blood pressure.
New Taipei CityAges 18–80 - NCT07412444Recruiting
Olive oil study for fatty liver health
This trial tests if extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) can improve liver health in people with metabolic fatty liver disease (MASLD). It may help reduce fat in the liver and improve overall metabolic health.
Castellana Grotte, ItalyAges 18–65 - NCT07437157Recruiting
Hong Kong diabetes fatty liver disease study
This research study looks at people with type 2 diabetes to learn more about fatty liver disease. By joining, you may help doctors better understand how these conditions are linked and improve future care.
Hong Kong, New TerritoriesAges 18 years+ - NCT07476703Recruiting
Extended study on the SCAPIS Stockholm reexamined group
This trial studies data and samples from people already taking part in the main SCAPIS reexamination study in Stockholm. It looks for new findings to help understand heart and lung health.
StockholmAges 56–74 - NCT07378072Recruiting
12-week daytime eating study for fatty liver in obesity
This study tests if restricting eating to daytime hours for 12 weeks can reduce liver fat in people with obesity. It aims to help those with fatty liver disease improve their health without medication.
AngersAges 18–65 - NCT07518784Recruiting
Testing a new liver scanning device for fatty liver disease
This study tests a new device called LiverScope® that scans your liver to detect fatty liver disease (MASLD). The scan uses special imaging technology and may help doctors diagnose liver disease more quickly and accurately.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07553663RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new liver disease treatment for fatty liver
This study tests how your body processes a new medication called miricorilant, designed to help people with fatty liver disease (MASH). You'll have liver scans or recent biopsy results and metabolic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT07603817Recruiting
Thyroid Disease and Fatty Liver Disease Study
This study looks at the connection between thyroid problems (especially when the thyroid doesn't make enough hormone) and a common liver condition where fat builds up in the liver. Researchers want to understand how these two conditions relate to each other in people without diabetes.

Testing a liver inflammation score in diabetes and fatty liver
This study tests whether a new scoring method can help doctors identify liver inflammation in patients who have both type 2 diabetes and a fatty liver. The goal is to find an easier, safer way to assess liver health without invasive procedures.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07652151Recruiting
Fatty Liver Disease Study Using Wearable Tracking
This research studies fatty liver disease linked to metabolic problems like diabetes and obesity. You'll wear a fitness tracker and have liver imaging to help doctors understand the disease and find new treatments.

LiverSeek: Finding advanced liver scarring in MASLD
This study uses routine blood tests to find people with advanced liver scarring caused by a condition called MASLD. If you are between 50 and 75, have certain metabolic risks, and get blood work from your primary care doctor at select centers, you may be eligible.

Liver health follow-up in type 2 diabetes
This study follows up on people who already joined the EPSONIP trial to check how their liver health (MASLD) has changed over time. It uses MRI to look at the liver and does not test any new medicine.

Effects of healthy obesity on liver and uric acid risks
This study looks at people who are metabolically healthy but overweight or obese, and how that affects their risk of developing fatty liver disease (MASLD) or high uric acid levels (hyperuricemia). It aims to see if 'healthy' obesity still carries hidden health risks.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 106 recruiting metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease 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 metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease 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 metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease 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.
