Trials for Encephalopathy Patients
Dietary Supplement
Resistant Potato Starch for Liver Cirrhosis
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2
Ann Arbor, Michigan
This trial is looking at how a dietary supplement made from potato starch called resistant potato starch affects the gut bacteria of people with liver conditions. Participants will take the supplement, and researchers will collect health information and
Antibiotic
Rifaximin for Hepatic Encephalopathy
Recruiting1 awardPhase 3
New Orleans, Louisiana
This trial tests if rifaximin, an oral antibiotic, can delay brain problems in patients with liver cirrhosis and controlled fluid buildup by reducing harmful gut bacteria. Rifaximin has been shown to reduce the recurrence of brain-related issues and related hospitalizations.
Proton Pump Inhibitor Deprescribing for Hepatic Encephalopathy
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1 & 2
Durham, North Carolina
This trial is testing whether proton pump inhibitors increase the risk of hepatic encephalopathy after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt creation. Patients will be assessed for symptoms and given tests at two time points. Stool samples will also be collected to allow characterization of the gastrointestinal tract microbiome.
Corticosteroid
Immune Suppression Therapy for Acute Liver Failure
Recruiting0 awardsPhase 2
Los Angeles, California
This trial tests two treatments that reduce immune activity in children with severe, unexplained liver failure. The treatments work by calming the immune system to prevent it from harming the liver.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
