Fatty liver disease (MASH) clinical trials, in English

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH, formerly NASH) trials often require a recent biopsy or a specific fibrosis stage on imaging. Alcohol use, other liver diseases, and diabetes control are common filters. We keep the registry wording for those rules. Sourced from ClinicalTrials.gov. Not a recommendation to join any study.

How to read this list

Each headline is a rewrite of registry fields (phase, intervention, condition). Open the NCT link before you call a site. Eligibility is decided by the study team, not by this page. See how to find a trial and eligibility explained.

Not a traditional drug phase: Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI), magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common liver disease in Western countries, due in large part to its association with type 2 diabetes and obesity. The more advanced form of this disease is known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Phase 3: testing Efruxifermin for NASH With Fibrosis

This is a multi-center evaluation of efruxifermin (EFX) in a randomly assigned, neither you nor the study doctors know who gets the real treatment, compared with a dummy treatment study in subjects with non-cirrhotic NASH/MASH and fibrosis stage 2 or 3 (F2 or F3). The study will enroll subjects in two cohorts for a total samples size of 1650 subjects.

Evaluation of Non-Invasive Tests for Metabolic Liver Disease

The Non-Invasive Biomarkers for Metabolic Liver Disease (NIMBLE) study is a comprehensive, multi-year collaborative effort to standardize, validate and advance the regulatory qualification of blood- and imaging-based biomarkers to diagnose and stage Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), previously known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). MASH is characterized by liver inflammation accompanied by simultaneous fat accumulation in the liver.

Phase 3: testing Tirzepatide for Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

The main purpose of the SYNERGY-OUTCOMES study is to find out whether retatrutide and tirzepatide can prevent major adverse liver outcomes (MALO) in people with high-risk metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The study will enroll adults who have MASLD based on non-invasive tests (NITs), which indicate they are more likely to develop MALO.

Phase 2: testing ALN-PNP for Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD)

This study will test a study drug called ALN-PNP with and without another drug that is used for controlling blood sugar, appetite, and weight (for example, tirzepatide), to see if it can help treat MASLD, also known as fatty liver disease. ALN-PNP reduces the amount of Patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3), a protein that liver cells make, which may help decrease liver fat if there is an abnormal PNPLA3 protein.

FAQ: Fatty liver disease (MASH) trials

How do I find recruiting Fatty liver disease (MASH) clinical trials?

This hub lists 10 recruiting Fatty liver disease (MASH) studies from a ClinicalTrials.gov snapshot, rewritten in plain English. Each card links to its NCT record. You can also search the official registry for “nonalcoholic steatohepatitis” at https://clinicaltrials.gov/search?cond=nonalcoholic%20steatohepatitis.

What does a Fatty liver disease (MASH) trial page on PlainTrials include?

A phase explainer, a plain-English summary grounded in the brief summary, inclusion/exclusion extracted from the public eligibility block, sponsor name, and any central contact the sponsor published. It is not a match to a trial.

Where are Fatty liver disease (MASH) studies located in this snapshot?

Sites that appear on these records include Buenos Aires, Argentina; San Antonio, Texas; Houston, Texas; Tucson, Arizona; Austin, Texas. A city on a record is not a guarantee that the site is taking new patients this week — call the NCT contact.

Can PlainTrials tell me if I qualify for a Fatty liver disease (MASH) study?

No. Eligibility is decided by the study team using the protocol, labs, and consent. Our “who it is for” list is a readable extract of public inclusion text only.
