Temple Health Chest Lung Screening Study
This study looks at how a hospital program can help people who are at risk for lung cancer get the proper screening and follow-up care. You may be eligible if you are a Temple patient and have had a low-dose CT scan for lung cancer screening.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 50–80 - NCT07195838Recruiting
Mindful breathing for people with COPD
This study tests a mindful breathing program for people with COPD. It aims to help reduce stress and improve breathing. Participants use a smartphone or tablet to take part from home.

MRI study of triple inhaler for COPD with breathlessness
This study uses a special MRI scan to see how well a single triple inhaler works for people with COPD who have moderate to severe shortness of breath or feel their health is not good. It compares two groups: those with a low risk of flare-ups and those with a high risk, to find out if the treatment helps both groups.
London, OntarioAges 50–85 - NCT06201403Recruiting
COPD: Breathing Muscle Strength and Flexibility Study
This study looks at the strength and flexibility of muscles you use to breathe, including muscles in your chest and neck. If you have moderate-to-severe COPD and have been stable on your medications, it may help researchers understand how these muscles are affected.

Assess heart and stroke events after starting triple COPD inhalers
This study looks at how often heart problems or stroke happen in people with COPD after they start a specific “triple therapy” inhaler. It may help doctors understand whether these inhalers change cardiovascular (heart) or cerebrovascular (stroke) risk.
LondonAges 40 years+ - NCT06952881Recruiting
Studying COPD types and treatable traits
This study looks at different forms of COPD to find better ways to treat them. It may help you understand your own condition and receive more personalized care.
Hong KongAges 40 years+ - NCT07133880RecruitingPhase 4
Nebulizer vs inhaler for COPD breathing treatment
This study compares two ways to deliver long-acting bronchodilator medications for COPD: a nebulizer (machine that turns liquid medicine into a mist) versus a handheld inhaler. The goal is to see which method works better for people with moderate to severe COPD symptoms.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 40 years+ - NCT07118306Recruiting
COPD flare-up follow-up study
This study is for people with COPD who go to the emergency room for a moderate or severe flare-up. It looks at how they are doing after their visit and whether their current inhaler treatment is working well.
Park Ridge, IllinoisAges 40 years+ - NCT07123922Enrolling by invitation
Silymarin for COPD: A Study on Breathing and Quality of Life
This study tests whether adding silymarin (a herbal supplement from milk thistle) to your regular COPD treatment can improve your lung function, reduce stress in your body, and help you feel better day-to-day.
DhakaAges 40–80 - NCT07122544Recruiting
Salt chamber pulmonary rehab for COPD
This study tests whether doing pulmonary rehab (breathing and exercise training) in a salt chamber can help people with COPD breathe and feel better. It is for people whose COPD is stable and who can move independently.
Krakow, MałopolskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06682286Recruiting
Breathing patterns during nighttime NIV
This study looks at how people breathe while using their nighttime breathing machine (NIV). It helps doctors understand breathing patterns better for people with COPD or OHS.
AucklandAges 18 years+ - NCT07104136Enrolling by invitation
Training doctors to improve COPD treatment adherence
This trial trains primary care doctors to help their COPD patients stick with treatments. It tests whether a new coaching approach can improve medication use and health outcomes.
Tel AvivAges 18 years+ - NCT07098351Recruiting
A trial for a new itchy skin medicine for people on peritoneal dialysis
This trial tests if a medication called nalfurafine hydrochloride (taken as a tablet that melts in your mouth) can help reduce moderate to severe itching in people receiving peritoneal dialysis for chronic kidney disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT03033251Recruiting
Compare high-flow oxygen to noninvasive ventilation for COPD flare-ups
This study compares two breathing support options for people hospitalized with a COPD flare-up and high carbon dioxide levels in the blood. It aims to see which option works better and is safer for breathing and recovery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 40 years+ - NCT07069829Recruiting
Living with COPD: A study on Breztri/Trixeo
This study looks at how well a triple-combination inhaler called Breztri/Trixeo works for people with moderate to severe COPD. If you have been prescribed this inhaler but haven't started it yet, and you are between 30 and 80 years old, you may be able to join.
Buenos AiresAges 30–80 - NCT07072039Recruiting
Emergency team check for acute COPD flare-ups
This study looks at how well paramedics can evaluate a sudden worsening of COPD (a lung disease that makes it hard to breathe). It may help improve emergency care for COPD patients in the UMass Memorial system.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT07065162Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,247 recruiting chronic disease 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 chronic disease 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 chronic disease 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.
