Recruiting studies
- NCT02703207Recruiting
Sleep apnea and COPD effects in older veterans
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects thinking skills and overall health in older veterans who also have COPD. It may help researchers understand what changes to target to improve daytime functioning and wellbeing.
Detroit, MichiganAges 60–89 - NCT06711159Recruiting
Searching for a biomarker of sleepiness in severe sleep apnea
This study looks for a biological marker of severe daytime sleepiness in people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who haven't started breathing machine treatment yet. It may help doctors better understand and treat sleepiness in the future.
Koege, Regional ZealandAges 18 years+ - NCT06463561RecruitingPhase 4
CPAP for high cholesterol and sleep apnea
This study tests if CPAP therapy can improve cholesterol and uric acid levels in people with both high cholesterol and moderate to severe sleep apnea. It may help if you have sleep apnea and are looking for additional ways to manage your lipid levels.
Coslada, MadridAges 35–80 - NCT07376343Recruiting
Comparing CPAP pressure formulas vs lab titration for sleep apnea
This study compares two ways to set CPAP machine pressure for Thai people with obstructive sleep apnea: using a quick formula versus a full overnight lab test. It helps find the best pressure more easily.
Pathum ThaniAges 18 years+ - NCT04179981Recruiting
CPAP treatment effects in older COPD and sleep apnea patients
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
Detroit, MichiganAges 60 years+ - NCT06994650RecruitingPhase 3
Study of HRS9531 for sleep apnea and obesity
This trial tests an injection called HRS9531 to see if it helps people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity who already use a CPAP or similar breathing device. It may help by reducing weight and improving breathing during sleep.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05289063RecruitingPhase 1
Study new sleep apnea and blood vessel function
This Phase 1 study looks at how blood vessel function is affected by obstructive sleep apnea in adults who are newly diagnosed and have not used CPAP. It may help researchers understand the early effects of sleep apnea and guide future treatments.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05156112Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment for veterans with PTSD and substance use
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea with a breathing device during a residential program helps veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use problems. It aims to improve their recovery and quality of life.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03505216Recruiting
Child lung symptom clinic registry for Swiss families
This study collects information from children and teens (up to age 16) who are seen in a children’s lung clinic for breathing or respiratory problems in Switzerland. The goal is to better understand these conditions in everyday care, which may help improve future diagnosis and treatment.
ViennaAges birth–16 years - NCT07047092RecruitingPhase 3
CPAP vs. NIV for sleep apnea in COPD after breathing failure
This trial compares two breathing devices (CPAP and NIV) for people with both COPD and sleep apnea who recently needed breathing help in the hospital. The goal is to see which device works better at preventing future breathing emergencies.
ParisAges 18–84 - NCT06150352Recruiting
Sleep apnea and memory in older adults with mild concerns
This trial looks at how sleep apnea affects memory and brain health in people who have mild memory problems or are worried about their memory. You will have a sleep study and brain scans to see if treating sleep apnea could help protect your thinking skills.
Hong KongAges 50–80 - NCT06858748Recruiting
Mucus in airways: asthma, COPD, and chronic cough study
This study is looking at how mucus builds up in the airways of people with asthma, COPD, or chronic cough. Researchers will also compare findings to healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand these conditions and find new ways to help.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT01776398Recruiting
Donating breath, blood, and urine samples for lung research
This study collects airway samples (usually during a bronchoscopy), plus blood and/or urine, to help researchers study lung conditions. It may help advance understanding of lung disease and related biology, but it is not a treatment trial.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07053423RecruitingPhase 4
Dupilumab for COPD with airway inflammation
This study tests if a drug called dupilumab, given as a shot under the skin, can reduce airway inflammation in people aged 40-85 with moderate-to-severe COPD who also have signs of a specific type of inflammation called Type 2. It may help if you have frequent flare-ups and are already using multiple inhalers.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40–85 - NCT06263608Recruiting
Sleep apnea testing and treatment for atrial fibrillation patients
This study tests a new way to check and treat sleep apnea in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). If you have AF and symptoms, you may be able to join and get sleep tracking and treatment that could help both your heart and sleep.
EdegemAges 18 years+ - NCT02762175Recruiting
Track breathing airway changes after jaw surgery for sleep apnea
This study records how your upper airway changes on scans after a jaw surgery called MMA for obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS). It also looks at how those changes relate to quality of life, which may help doctors better predict who benefits from surgery.
BrugesAges Any age - NCT07444372Recruiting
Starting CPAP therapy after atrial fibrillation ablation
This study tests whether starting CPAP therapy soon after a heart procedure called catheter ablation helps people with sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) recover better and stay in normal rhythm. CPAP is a machine that helps keep your airway open while you sleep.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06312956Recruiting
Sleep Apnea and Ventilotherapy: A Study Before and After Treatment
This trial studies how sleep apnea affects the body and brain before and after starting treatment with a breathing device (ventilotherapy). It aims to understand the benefits of early treatment for people with obstructive sleep apnea.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for airway obstruction?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 90 recruiting airway obstruction studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a airway obstruction trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a airway obstruction trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
