Study of a New Drug for MASH (Fatty Liver Disease)
This study is testing a new drug that targets thyroid hormone receptors in the liver, alone or combined with another drug, to reduce inflammation and scarring in people with MASH (a type of fatty liver disease). If you have MASH with moderate liver scarring and are otherwise healthy, this trial may help find a new treatment option.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT07280143Recruiting
MASLD risk in breast or colorectal cancer survivors
This study looks at whether breast or colorectal cancer survivors are more likely to develop a liver condition called MASLD (fatty liver disease not caused by alcohol). It uses blood tests, imaging, and possibly an MRI to check liver health.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT07270601Recruiting
Ultrasound test for liver fat
This study is testing a new ultrasound method to measure fat in the liver. It is for people who may have a liver condition or have risk factors like diabetes or obesity, as well as healthy volunteers.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT07199491Enrolling by invitation
Healthy lifestyle program for Hispanics with fatty liver disease
This trial tests a culturally tailored lifestyle program for Hispanic adults with fatty liver disease (MASLD). It aims to help improve liver health through diet and activity changes with support from a family member.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07165028RecruitingPhase 3
Study of new drugs for fatty liver with scarring
This trial tests new medicines for adults with fatty liver disease (MASLD) that has already caused some liver scarring. It aims to see if these drugs can help prevent the liver disease from getting worse.
Tuscaloosa, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07159386Recruiting
Detecting advanced liver scarring in fatty liver disease
This study tests a new screening tool to find advanced liver scarring in people with liver disease linked to diabetes. It helps doctors decide who needs more tests or specialist care.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07143968RecruitingPhase 2
Resmetirom for people with MASLD and HIV
This study tests if resmetirom can help people who have both HIV and a liver condition called MASLD (fat buildup in the liver not caused by alcohol). You may qualify if your liver has a certain amount of fat and stiffness, and your HIV is well controlled with stable medication.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06935994RecruitingPhase 2
Aspirin for Fatty Liver Disease (MASLD)
This study tests whether aspirin can help people with MASLD, a type of fatty liver disease linked to conditions like diabetes and obesity. It aims to see if aspirin can improve liver health without causing harm.
Taichung, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT07097506RecruitingPhase 2
Ketone drink for liver fat and health
This study tests whether a daily ketone ester drink can reduce liver fat and improve metabolism in people with excess liver fat. You may join if you are 18–40, have overweight or obesity, and your liver has extra fat.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–40 - NCT07091539Recruiting
Fruit and vegetable vouchers for kids with fatty liver disease

San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 6–17 - NCT07093346Recruiting
Pectin supplement for fatty liver disease
This study tests whether a pectin supplement (a fiber found in fruits) can reduce inflammation and improve liver and metabolic health in people with fatty liver disease (MASLD). You might be eligible if you have MASLD, a healthy weight range, and can avoid certain medications and foods.
Nottingham, United KingdomAges 18 years+ - NCT07090083Recruiting
Liver health and food support for children

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 69 recruiting metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic 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 steatotic 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 steatotic 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.
