Amino acid drink to help rebuild muscle in cirrhosis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special mix of amino acids (building blocks for muscle) can help reverse muscle loss in people with cirrhosis. It aims to improve muscle health while keeping you safe from known complications of liver disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cirrhosis confirmed by biopsy or by test/imaging findings
- You have stayed away from alcohol and recreational drugs for at least 6 months
- Your Child-Pugh score is 5 to 9 (a liver severity score)
- You can and will sign consent and follow the study plan
- You do not have certain complications like active bleeding, sepsis, or confusion from liver disease

This trial tests whether a special amino-acid supplement can help reverse muscle loss in people with cirrhosis (scarring of the liver). It may help maintain or improve muscle strength and overall function, but eligibility depends on your liver status and overall health.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help people with cirrhosis (scarred liver) feel stronger and improve their health. You'll be asked to exercise regularly and have tests to see how your muscles and liver respond.
This study focuses on assessing nutrition in adults living with liver cirrhosis. The goal is to understand nutritional needs and how assessment may support care.
This study tests whether a special diet high in plant-based protein (with some animal protein) can help people with severe liver cirrhosis who are waiting for a kidney transplant. The diet aims to improve nutrition and health without overloading the liver.
This study looks at how your body uses protein in your muscles when you have cirrhosis (a scarred liver). It uses a special “tracer” method (a substance that can be tracked) and may help researchers better understand muscle loss in people with milder cirrhosis.
This study tests whether taking extra protein in the late evening or early morning can lower the chance of being readmitted for hepatic encephalopathy, a brain problem that can happen with liver disease. It may help by supporting safer nutrition and reducing the risk of another hospitalization.
