New combo treatment aims to help patients with liver disease and obesity
NCT ID NCT07058155
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a two-step procedure can help people with advanced liver disease and severe obesity. First, a TIPS procedure lowers pressure in the liver veins. Then, sleeve gastrectomy surgery helps with weight loss. The study compares this approach to standard medical care. Researchers will track quality of life and weight loss over 6 months in 70 participants.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
TIPS procedure and sleeve gastrectomy surgery
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new, safe treatment path for people with both advanced liver disease and severe obesity who currently have few options.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both procedures carry risks like bleeding, infection, or liver complications.
