Recruiting studies
- NCT04899102Recruiting
Intermittent fasting for fatty liver disease in adults
This study tests whether intermittent fasting can improve fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by reducing liver fat. It focuses on adults with confirmed fatty liver and extra liver fat seen on a special MRI scan.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04365855Recruiting
Study of fatty liver risk in local adults
This study looks at how common fatty liver disease is and what factors may be linked to it in adults in Olmsted County. You may be asked about health history, alcohol use, and possibly to undergo MRI scans.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04232566Recruiting
Study links in obesity surgery and liver scarring
This study looks at how the immune system relates to liver scarring in people with obesity who are getting gastric bypass surgery. If you qualify, you may help doctors better understand liver disease and who is at higher risk.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 30–70 - NCT03884075RecruitingPhase 2
Semaglutide study for fatty liver and how sugar affects the liver
This Phase 2 study tests how semaglutide (a diabetes medication also used for weight) affects fatty liver and the liver’s response to sugar. It may help people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease understand whether the drug improves liver fat and related changes.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT03572465Recruiting
Ultrasound tests to diagnose fatty liver inflammation
This study checks whether special ultrasound measurements can help diagnose nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a type of fatty liver disease. You may need a liver biopsy as part of routine care, and you may also be scanned with MRI to support the study tests.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT03635541Recruiting
Liver health changes in fatty liver disease
This study tracks how liver scarring (fibrosis) and fat buildup (steatosis) change over time in people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It helps doctors understand risk factors so they can better predict and manage the disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT03151473Recruiting
Study of adults with fatty liver and NASH over time
This is a long-term study that follows adults who are being managed for fatty liver (NAFL) or NASH to learn how these conditions change over time. It may help researchers better understand what to expect and how care decisions could be improved.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT02193295Recruiting
Testing how changing fats affects insulin resistance
This study tests how “lipid” (fat) changes in the body affect insulin resistance, which is when the body doesn’t respond to insulin as well as it should. Because it’s done in healthy people, it’s mainly looking at basic biology and may help guide future treatments.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–90 - NCT00983463Enrolling by invitation
Study of liver fats and proteins in fatty liver disease
This study measures different fats and proteins in the liver of people with fatty liver disease (often called NAFLD) who are having planned abdominal or weight-loss surgery. It may help doctors better understand what’s happening in the liver and improve future care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–65

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for nafld?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 81 recruiting nafld 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 nafld 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 nafld 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.
