All recruiting trials (7)
-
Glucagon resistance in MASLD and type 2 diabetes
This will see if people with type 2 diabetes, with or without MASLD, respond differently to glucagon in liver fat oxidation and VLDL-triglyceride secretion.
-
Rifaximin treatment for metabolic-associated fatty liver disease
This trial tests whether taking oral rifaximin for 24 weeks helps adults with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and is safe.
-
New MRI methods to measure metabolism and predict outcomes in metabolic-associated fatty liver disease
This project tests whether new MRI techniques can measure body metabolism and help predict disease status and prognosis for people with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease.
-
Non-invasive blood and imaging tests for metabolic liver disease
This project tests whether blood tests and imaging scans can diagnose and stage metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and liver fibrosis in adults with metabolic risk factors.
-
Effects of a Low Valine Diet on Weight and Metabolism
This study is testing if meal replacements with less valine can help overweight and obese people lose weight and improve their metabolism compared to regular meal replacements.
-
Investigating the prevalence of metabolic associated fatty liver disease in patients with type 2 diabetes in Jiangsu Province, China
This study looks at how common fatty liver disease is in people with type 2 diabetes in Jiangsu Province, China, and how it relates to their insulin levels.
-
Understanding Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease in China
This study is trying to learn more about metabolic liver disease in China by collecting health information and samples from patients to find markers that could help predict how the disease affects them.

Quick answers
How many Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease clinical trials are recruiting right now?
7, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Where are these trials running?
In 3 countries. The most sites are in China (5 trials), Denmark (1 trial), United States (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
What phases are they in?
Early Phase 1: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
