Study of a new drug for fatty liver disease (MASLD/MASH)
This study tests a new drug called ALN-CIDEB for people with fatty liver disease (MASLD or MASH). The goal is to see if it can reduce liver fat and improve liver health. You may qualify if you have a higher BMI and evidence of liver fat on imaging tests.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18–65 - NCT06843148Recruiting
Does niacin help move fat from liver to fat tissue?
This study tests if niacin (a B vitamin) can help the body store fat safely in fat tissue instead of letting it build up in the liver. It may be an option for people with fatty liver linked to belly fat, without serious liver damage or other health issues.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 20–80 - NCT06706856Recruiting
Ultrasound test for fatty liver disease in kids

Can exercise help fatty liver disease?
This study tests whether a program of physical activity can reduce fat in the muscles and liver of people with MASLD, a type of fatty liver disease linked to metabolism. It looks at how exercise might help improve liver health.
BrusselsAges 18–70 - NCT06374875RecruitingPhase 4
Does metabolic surgery reduce liver scarring?
This study tests if weight loss surgery can improve liver fibrosis (scarring) in people with obesity and advanced liver disease. It may help those considering surgery to know if their liver health can get better.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT06355310RecruitingPhase 2
Studying an SGLT2 inhibitor for fatty liver in teens
This study tests a medication called empagliflozin (a type of SGLT2 inhibitor) to see if it can help treat fatty liver disease in teenagers and young adults. It may improve liver health and help with weight management.

Testing a new liver medicine in people with fatty liver
This early-phase study tests whether ALN-PNP is safe and well tolerated, first in healthy adults and then in adults with MASLD (fatty liver disease). If you have MASLD, it may help researchers learn whether this medicine is a promising option for treating liver fat buildup.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT04873258Recruiting
Test a non-invasive tool to screen for fat-related liver disease
This study looks at a new non-invasive screening method to predict metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a condition where fat builds up in the liver. The goal is to help identify people who may be at risk without needing invasive tests.
