Test a non-invasive tool to screen for fat-related liver disease
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 80 years old
- Be able and willing to sign informed consent and follow study instructions
- For Part B: you must already have a known MASLD history shown in medical records or scans (like FibroScan or liver ultrasound)
- Do not have alcoholic liver disease or cirrhosis from another cause
- Avoid heavy alcohol use (more than 30 units per week), and do not have an implanted cardiac device

This study tests a new ultrasound device that uses sound waves to measure fat in the liver without needles or surgery. It is for people with a type of fatty liver disease called MASLD or MASH, who are already getting an MRI to check their liver.
This study tests a new device called LiverScope® that scans your liver to detect fatty liver disease (MASLD). The scan uses special imaging technology and may help doctors diagnose liver disease more quickly and accurately.
This study is testing whether advanced imaging and other non-invasive methods can properly identify people with significant liver scarring due to metabolic liver disease or alcohol-related liver disease. It may help find better ways to track liver health without repeated needle biopsies.
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.
This study explores if a new ultrasound technique can detect fatty liver disease in children. It aims to find a simpler, safer way to check liver health without needing an MRI or biopsy.
This research studies fatty liver disease linked to metabolic problems like diabetes and obesity. You'll wear a fitness tracker and have liver imaging to help doctors understand the disease and find new treatments.
