Fasting every other day for fatty liver disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether fasting every other day (alternate day fasting) can help reverse fatty liver disease (NASH/MASH) when added to standard medical care. It is for people with fatty liver and some liver scarring, who are not on weight loss medications and do not have diabetes that is poorly controlled.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 25 and 40
- Your weight has been stable (changed less than 5 kg) in the last 3 months
- A liver stiffness test (FibroScan) shows your liver stiffness is less than 14 kPa
- You have been diagnosed with NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) or MASH, with no more than moderate scarring (stage F3 or lower)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is looking for new ways to detect liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with fatty liver disease (NAFLD, NASH, MASLD, or MASH). If you qualify, you will give a blood sample to help identify biomarkers that could replace biopsies.
This study tests whether intermittent fasting can improve fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by reducing liver fat. It focuses on adults with confirmed fatty liver and extra liver fat seen on a special MRI scan.
This study tests whether eating within a limited time window each day can improve fatty liver disease (a buildup of fat in the liver). If you have moderate-to-advanced fatty liver disease and are overweight, this trial might help you learn if changing when you eat—rather than what you eat—can reduce liver fat and improve your health.
This trial tests whether a very low calorie ketogenic diet (a strict low-carb, high-fat diet) can help people with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) who have liver scarring. Participants will follow this diet for a year and have two liver biopsies to see if their liver health improves.
This study tests whether intermittent fasting combined with a Mediterranean diet can help people with moderate to severe non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) improve their liver health. If you are overweight and have been diagnosed with NAFLD, this trial may offer a dietary approach to manage your condition.
This study tests if restricting eating to daytime hours for 12 weeks can reduce liver fat in people with obesity. It aims to help those with fatty liver disease improve their health without medication.
