Nutrition study for metabolic syndrome
This study tests whether a personalized nutrition plan can improve health and lower the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease in middle-aged adults with metabolic syndrome.
Madrid, MadridAges 30–50 - NCT06066723Recruiting
MRI study for healthy children and mild cystic fibrosis
This study uses a special MRI that can show inflammation in the lungs. It looks at healthy children and children with mild cystic fibrosis to test if the scan can detect early changes. If you join, you will breathe in a special gas during the MRI.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 6–17 - NCT07301320RecruitingPhase 2
Epetraborole for Mycobacterium abscessus lung infection
This study tests an investigational medication called epetraborole for people with a chronic lung infection caused by Mycobacterium abscessus bacteria. You may be able to join if your infection is stable enough to delay standard treatment and you have symptoms like cough, fatigue, or weight loss.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06985225Recruiting
Study of mucus plugs and lung function in mucus-related lung disease
This study looks at how mucus plugs affect air flow in the lungs. It may help find new ways to treat people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis, severe asthma, COPD, or bronchiectasis.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18–65 - NCT04849806Recruiting
Testing whether heart nerve signals predict COPD symptoms
This study looks at “sympathetic nerve activity” (signals from the nervous system that affect the heart) in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The goal is to see whether these measurements can help predict what happens to people with COPD.
AachenAges 18 years+ - NCT07426718Recruiting
Breath test for airway inflammation in lung diseases and healthy people
This study is testing a simple breath test (Inflammacheck device) to see if it can measure airway inflammation in people with various lung conditions, including lung cancer, pneumonia, asthma, and COPD, as well as healthy volunteers. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and monitor respiratory diseases using your breath.
Portsmouth, HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT00047996Enrolling by invitation
Blood Donation Study for Blood Vessel Research
This study collects blood and urine samples from adults to help researchers understand diseases affecting blood vessels. Your donation helps scientists develop better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05717192Recruiting
Bronchoscopy treatment to shrink severe emphysema using heat
This trial studies a bronchoscopy procedure that uses heat (thermoablation) to reduce over-inflated lung tissue in people with severe emphysema. If you qualify, it aims to improve breathing and walking ability after trying standard treatments first.
BerlinAges 40–75 - NCT06275230Recruiting
Growing lung stem cells from COPD patients
This trial aims to grow lung stem cells and create mini-lungs (organoids) from the tissue of people with COPD. It may help researchers understand the disease better and develop new treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–55 - NCT00128973Recruiting
Study immune system problems in people with unusual infections
This study looks at how the immune system works in people who have abnormal immune function, often shown by unusual or repeated infections or long-lasting inflammation. It may involve tests using blood samples and storage of blood for future research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Any age - NCT06090838Recruiting
Balloon angioplasty for blood clots in the lungs after pulmonary embolism
This trial tests whether balloon angioplasty can improve breathing and exercise ability in people who still have symptoms and blood flow problems 3 months or more after a pulmonary embolism. It is for those who have completed a pulmonary rehabilitation program.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18–80 - NCT06525857Recruiting
Observing body changes in long-term oxygen therapy
This study will observe how patients with chronic lung diseases change when they start long-term oxygen therapy at home. It aims to understand how the body adapts to oxygen treatment over time.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT05570929Recruiting
Study of kidney changes before and around donation
This study follows people who are planning kidney donation or a kidney transplant to better understand how kidney function changes over time. It may help researchers predict risk and improve care by studying health markers in detail.
BerlinAges 18–75 - NCT06332274RecruitingPhase 3
Tislelizumab for cancer patients with minimal residual disease
This trial is for people who have completed standard cancer treatments (like surgery, chemo or radiation) and have no visible cancer on scans, but may still have very small amounts of cancer DNA in their blood. The study tests whether the drug tislelizumab can help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Villejuif, Val De MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT06542016Recruiting
Heart risk prediction in dialysis patients using a questionnaire
This study looks at how a simple questionnaire (called KCCQ) about your heart health and quality of life can help predict future heart risks for people on dialysis. Researchers want to see if your answers to this questionnaire can help doctors take better care of you.
Guangdong, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06624358Recruiting
Physical activity study for teens with chronic kidney disease
This study looks at physical activity in teens with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are not yet on dialysis or have had a transplant. It aims to understand their current activity levels and how to help them stay active safely.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 13–18 - NCT06998043RecruitingPhase 2
Phage therapy for cystic fibrosis with pseudomonas lung infection
This trial tests a new treatment using phages (viruses that kill bacteria) for people with cystic fibrosis who have a chronic pseudomonas lung infection. It aims to see if adding phages to your usual care can help control the infection.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07499856Enrolling by invitation
Exercise and mindfulness during dialysis
This trial tests whether combining exercise with mindfulness (a mental relaxation technique) during dialysis sessions can improve well-being. You watch videos that guide you through exercises and mindfulness while receiving treatment.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT05339048Enrolling by invitation
Study of adults from Colombia’s Caribbean coast
This study follows adults who were born or are from Colombia’s Caribbean coast. The goal is to learn about health patterns in this community, but you would not be able to join if you meet certain medical or disability-related criteria.
Cartagena, Departamento de BolívarAges 18–80 - NCT07707245Recruiting
Finding biomarkers in lung disease and lung cancer
This trial studies blood and tissue samples from people with COPD, IPF, or lung cancer to find markers that can help diagnose and predict these conditions. It aims to discover why some lung diseases progress to cancer.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05486650Recruiting
Study of focused radiation after PD-1 treatment helped non-lung cancer
This observational study looks at how stereotactic (high-precision) radiation works for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that is stable after PD-1 antibody treatment (sometimes with chemotherapy). It may help doctors better understand which patients benefit from this next treatment step and what side effects to expect.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06974981Recruiting
Using lung cancer screening to find and treat COPD
This study looks at how lung cancer screening can also help find and manage COPD, a lung condition that often goes undetected. If you are a current or former smoker and meet certain age and smoking history criteria, you may join to help improve screening and care for both lung cancer and COPD.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic lung disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 305 recruiting chronic lung 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 lung 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 lung 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.
