Compare home versus clinic weight programs for fatty liver
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two weight-loss programs for children with fatty liver disease related to weight, to see which helps the liver and health better. You may be eligible if your child is already enrolled in a lifestyle program for childhood obesity and meets key safety checks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is enrolled in a lifestyle management program for obesity at one of the study centers
- Your child’s obesity is not part of a genetic or syndrome-related cause
- Tests suggest the fatty liver is not from other causes like viral infection, autoimmune disease, or genetic liver conditions
- Your child drinks less than 20 grams of alcohol per day on average (if alcohol applies)
- Your child’s FibroScan screening test is valid and interpretable (not “unvalid”)
- Your child is not taking medicines that can worsen fatty liver or scar the liver, such as systemic corticosteroids or methotrexate

This is a registry study collecting information about children and teens with fatty liver disease that isn’t caused by alcohol. It aims to better understand this condition and may help future research and treatments.
This trial compares two diets—a Mediterranean-style diet and a low-fat diet—to see which better reduces liver fat in overweight children and teens with fatty liver disease (MASLD). It aims to find a safe, effective eating plan for young people.
This study compares different diet plans to see which works best to reduce fat in the liver of children and teens with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease). If your child drinks sugary beverages often and has certain health risks like being overweight or having high cholesterol, this trial may help find a healthy eating plan that works.
This study looks at how metabolism works in children and teens who have (or do not have) nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition where fat builds up in the liver. Participants may include healthy-weight controls, obese controls without NAFLD, and kids with NAFLD who are already scheduled for a liver biopsy for clinical reasons.
This study compares two ways to help people with obesity and liver problems: a special diet program or weight-loss surgery. Researchers will look at changes in fats, immune system, and genetic markers to see which approach works better.
This study tests whether combining diet with two different exercise programs can help people who are overweight or obese and have fatty liver disease. The goal is to see which program works best to reduce liver fat and improve health.
