Lifestyle change study for fatty liver disease
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a liver stiffness measurement to a lifestyle program helps people with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease) improve their liver health. It is designed for people who have fatty liver and at least one sign of metabolic syndrome, like high blood pressure or diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with MASLD (fatty liver disease that is not caused by alcohol).
- You must be between 18 and 79 years old.
- Your alcohol intake must be less than about 1 drink per day for women or 1.5 drinks per day for men.
- You must have at least one condition related to metabolic syndrome (like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, or high cholesterol).
- You cannot have other liver diseases (like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or cirrhosis) or be taking certain medications that affect the liver.

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.
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 checks how fatty liver disease (a condition where fat builds up in the liver) affects the heart. If you have this liver condition and are between 18 and 65, you may help doctors understand the link between liver health and heart function.
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 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.
