Recruiting studies
- NCT06861075Recruiting
Carvedilol for high blood pressure in liver veins
This trial tests whether a medicine called carvedilol can lower high blood pressure in the liver veins of people with cirrhosis. It uses a special ultrasound probe to measure the pressure before and after taking the medicine.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT06669806Recruiting
TIPS Stent Graft for Cirrhosis Complications
This study tests a TIPS stent graft (a tiny mesh tube placed in the liver to relieve pressure) for people with cirrhosis and complications like bleeding or fluid buildup. It aims to see how well it works and if it's safe.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT06513195Recruiting
EUS-guided tool to check how well beta-blockers work for cirrhosis
This study tests a new way to measure if a type of blood pressure medicine called non-selective beta-blockers (NSBBs) is helping patients with cirrhosis. It uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) to measure pressures in the liver and a nearby vein. If you have cirrhosis with high pressure in the portal vein but haven't started NSBBs yet, this study may help your doctor decide if the medicine is working for you.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18–80 - NCT06687265RecruitingPhase 2
Metformin for reducing liver pressure in cirrhosis
This trial tests if metformin can lower the pressure in the liver's blood vessels (portal hypertension) in people with cirrhosis. The goal is to see if it can help reduce complications like swelling or bleeding.
Clichy, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07058155RecruitingPhase 4
TIPS and weight-loss surgery for liver disease with high blood pressure
This trial tests if doing a TIPS procedure (to lower blood pressure in the liver) before weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) helps people with advanced liver disease. It's for those who have cirrhosis and very high blood pressure in the liver, and who qualify for sleeve gastrectomy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–70 - NCT07122622Recruiting
Spleen stiffness test to check for dangerous veins in the liver
This trial uses a non-invasive ultrasound test to measure spleen stiffness, which may help find problems with blood pressure in the liver and identify enlarged veins that can bleed. It could help avoid more invasive tests.
Roma, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07163689Recruiting
TIPS for liver disease with portal hypertension
This trial compares patients who have a rare liver condition (porto-sinusoidal vascular disease) with those who have cirrhosis, to see how a procedure called TIPS (a shunt placed in the liver to reduce blood pressure) works for complications like bleeding, fluid buildup, or blood clots.
Amiens, PicardieAges 18 years+ - NCT07280390Recruiting
Microplastics in people with cirrhosis
This trial checks whether tiny plastic particles (microplastics) are present in the liver and body of people with cirrhosis who are having planned surgery or a liver transplant. It aims to understand if microplastics might make liver disease worse.
Chandigarh, ChandigarhAges 18–70 - NCT07281846Recruiting
TIPS with or without BCAA for cirrhosis and muscle wasting
This trial tests whether adding branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) to the standard TIPS procedure helps people with cirrhosis and muscle wasting. It aims to see if BCAA can improve outcomes after TIPS.
WuhanAges 18–80 - NCT07291141Recruiting
MRI vs. Ultrasound for Liver Cancer Detection in Cirrhosis
This study compares MRI and ultrasound to see which is better at finding liver cancer early in people with liver cirrhosis. It also looks at body composition and other factors that could lead to worsening liver function.
Linköping, Select A State Or ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT07461532Recruiting
Apixaban for late portal vein clot after spleen surgery
This trial is testing whether a blood thinner called apixaban can treat a blood clot in the main vein to the liver (portal vein) that appeared more than a year after spleen surgery in people with cirrhosis. It compares apixaban to a low-dose aspirin to see if one works better with fewer side effects.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07461545Recruiting
Apixaban for late portal vein clot after spleen surgery
This trial tests if apixaban, a blood thinner, is more effective than aspirin at treating blood clots in the portal vein that form more than a year after laparoscopic spleen removal in people with cirrhosis and an enlarged spleen.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07473375Recruiting
Factors affecting portal vein clot reopening in cirrhosis
This study looks at factors that help open up blood clots in the main vein to the liver (portal vein) in people with cirrhosis and varices. It might help guide treatment to improve blood flow.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06576934Recruiting
Early TIPS for liver cirrhosis with ascites
This study tests whether placing a small tube (called a TIPS) early in the liver can help people with cirrhosis who have their first episode of moderate to severe belly fluid buildup. The goal is to see if this early procedure improves outcomes compared to standard care.
Freiburg im BreisgauAges 18–80 - NCT06549673Recruiting
Stopping beta blocker in controlled cirrhosis
This study is checking if it is safe for people with cirrhosis (liver scarring) to stop taking a certain blood pressure medicine (non-selective beta blockers) if their main liver problem is under control. If you've had varices or bleeding in the past and your liver is now stable, this trial will see if you can safely stop the medicine.
SydneyAges 18 years+ - NCT07462091Recruiting
Nerve-guided surgery for enlarged spleen and bleeding risk
This study tests a special surgery using a nerve-guided technique to remove the enlarged spleen and reduce bleeding risk in people with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. It may help if you have an enlarged spleen and have had bleeding related to liver disease.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07352228Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Comparing carvedilol and propranolol to prevent variceal rebleeding
This trial tests whether carvedilol or propranolol works better to prevent another bleeding episode from enlarged veins in the stomach or esophagus (varices) after they have been treated with endoscopy. If you have cirrhosis and had a variceal bleed 6 to 30 days ago, this study may help find the most effective medicine for you.
Xi'anAges 18–75 - NCT06449339RecruitingPhase 4
Beta-blocker study for early-stage liver scarring
This study tests a medicine called carvedilol (a non-selective beta-blocker) to see if it can prevent complications in people with advanced chronic liver disease who are at high risk but haven't had serious problems like bleeding yet.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07275554Recruiting
Gene patterns and risk prediction in hepatitis B liver failure
This study looks at how gene changes (methylation) in people with hepatitis B-related liver failure may predict how well they will do. It aims to create a risk score to guide treatment.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06814626RecruitingPhase 3
Nutrition therapy for muscle loss in cirrhosis with fluid buildup
This trial tests whether a special nutrition plan can help treat muscle loss in people with liver cirrhosis who also have fluid buildup that doesn't improve with standard treatment. It aims to improve strength and outcomes after a procedure to place a shunt in the liver.
