NCT ID NCT06824974
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a time-restricted eating plan (eating only during an 8-10 hour window each day) combined with a healthy plant-based diet is safe and doable for people with liver cancer, cirrhosis, or fatty liver disease. Fifty overweight or obese adults will either follow the diet program with coaching for six months or be in an observation group. The goal is to see if people can stick with the diet and if it improves liver health and quality of life.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary approach to improve liver health and quality of life for people with liver cancer or liver disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 50 participants. It is designed to test if the diet is practical and safe, not to prove it works. Results may not apply to everyone.
