Comparing two breathing exercises for COPD symptoms
This study compares two breathing exercise methods (DITM vs IMT) for people with COPD to see which helps improve symptoms and quality of life better. It's for people who are already using a specific type of inhaler.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 40 years+ - NCT05581368Recruiting
Study how cannabis affects blood vessels

London, OntarioAges 19–80 - NCT04220463Recruiting
Hypnosis during noninvasive breathing support for ICU lung illness
This trial tests whether hypnosis can help people in the ICU who need noninvasive breathing support (breathing help without a tube) for breathing flare-ups related to COPD and/or obesity. It aims to make this treatment easier and safer while you are awake.
Rennes, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06883305RecruitingPhase 3
Testing tezepelumab for moderate to severe COPD
This trial tests tezepelumab, an injected medication, for people with moderate to very severe COPD who still have flare-ups despite using standard inhalers. It may help reduce flare-ups and improve breathing for those with higher eosinophil levels.
Foley, AlabamaAges 40–80 - NCT06882863Enrolling by invitation
Study to help reduce sitting in severe COPD
This study tests whether a nurse can help you sit less during the day if you have severe COPD. A nurse will visit you at home for motivational interviews to help you become more active.

Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 40 years+ - NCT06878261RecruitingPhase 3
Tezepelumab for moderate to very severe COPD
This study tests a new medication called tezepelumab (given as a shot) to see if it can reduce COPD flare-ups in people with moderate to very severe COPD who have had recent flare-ups despite using inhalers. It may be an option for those with higher levels of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in their blood.

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.
