Recruiting studies
- NCT06956742Recruiting
Breathing device study for COPD shortness of breath after exercise
This trial tests a device that briefly opens your airways to help release trapped air after exercise. It may reduce shortness of breath and improve your daily life with COPD.
Rouen, NormandyAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06625944Recruiting
How viral infections affect lung disease
This study looks at how viral infections impact people with chronic lung conditions like COPD or bronchiectasis. It aims to understand symptoms and triggers better, which could help improve future treatments.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06653413Recruiting
Using dynamic chest x-ray to diagnose COPD
This study tests if a new type of chest x-ray (dynamic chest x-ray) can help diagnose COPD. You would breathe normally and deeply while the x-ray takes images for 20 seconds. This could be a more comfortable way to check for COPD compared to standard breathing tests.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 40–80 - NCT04339270RecruitingPhase 4
Testing azithromycin in chronic lung disease with frequent flare-ups
This Phase 4 study tests whether a long course of azithromycin can reduce flare-ups in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have had recent exacerbations. It also looks at mucus properties and how flare-ups happen.
BordeauxAges 40–85 - 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+ - NCT07191860Recruiting
Coated balloon for non-cancerous airway narrowing
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a medicine (paclitaxel) to open narrowed windpipes. It is for people whose windpipe is blocked by scar tissue from a ventilator, transplant, or other non-cancer causes, not from cancer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 22 years+ - NCT06820749Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Study of HSK31858 tablets for lung mucus conditions
This trial tests an investigational tablet for people with chronic lung diseases like bronchiectasis, COPD, or asthma who produce at least 10 mL of sputum (mucus coughed up from the lungs) each day. The goal is to see if the drug safely reduces excess airway mucus.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06185530Recruiting
Comparing stress echo vs CT scan for chest pain
This trial compares two heart imaging tests (stress echo with ultrasound of the neck, and a CT scan) to see which one better helps guide treatment for people with chest pain that might be from heart disease. If you have chest pain that is typical for heart disease, you may be able to join.
Harrow, MiddxAges 18 years+ - NCT07030881Recruiting
Spacer use in older adults with COPD or asthma on triple therapy
This trial tests whether using a spacer with your inhaler can lower the risk of serious flare-ups for people over 65 who have COPD or asthma and are already on triple therapy.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 65 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+ - NCT04200079Recruiting
Long-term follow-up study for people with COPD
This study follows people with COPD over time to better understand their lung health and how it changes. It may help researchers and doctors learn what factors affect breathing and long-term outcomes.
Kingston, OntarioAges 40–85 - NCT07854210Recruiting
High-flow nasal oxygen versus non-invasive ventilation for COPD
This trial compares two breathing support methods for people hospitalized with COPD and mild-to-moderate carbon dioxide retention. It aims to see if high-flow nasal oxygen is as effective as the standard mask-based ventilation.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 40 years+ - NCT07823842Recruiting
Biologics for asthma and COPD
This study looks at how well medicines called biologics work for people with asthma or COPD. Biologics are special shots that target certain parts of the immune system to reduce inflammation. Researchers want to see if these treatments can help control symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07707271Recruiting
Continuous vs. interval exercise for COPD
This trial compares two types of exercise training—steady moderate exercise versus short bursts of higher intensity—to see which is more helpful for people with COPD. It aims to find a better way to improve your breathing and fitness.
Thessaloniki, ExohiAges Any age - NCT07665931Recruiting
Testing Simeox for severe COPD with lung hyperinflation
This trial tests if a device called Simeox can reduce trapped air in the lungs of people with severe COPD. It may help you breathe easier if you have pulmonary hyperinflation.
Codogno, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07583849RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new inhaled powder for COPD symptoms
This study tests whether a new inhaled medication called HSK39004 can help people with COPD breathe better and reduce shortness of breath. You'll receive either the medication or a placebo (inactive powder) and be monitored for safety and effectiveness.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–80 - NCT06655428Recruiting
A new treatment for severe emphysema using heat and liquid
This trial tests a procedure called Endobronchial Thermal Liquid Ablation (ETLA) that uses heated liquid to treat severe emphysema. It is for people with COPD who have very low lung function and shortness of breath, and who have not been able to get relief from other treatments.
Vienna, AustriaAges 40 years+ - NCT07285642Recruiting
Oxygen levels in muscles and brain in COPD patients
This study measures oxygen levels in your brain and leg muscles during exercise to understand how COPD affects them.
IstanbulAges 40–70 - 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+ - NCT06376994RecruitingPhase 3
Clean air study for COPD
This study tests if using air cleaners at home improves lung health in people with COPD. If you qualify, you may get an air cleaner for your home and be followed for 12 months.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40 years+ - NCT04905238Enrolling by invitation
Sleep apnea study linking breathing markers to memory changes
This trial looks at how severe sleep apnea breathing patterns relate to body “biomarkers” linked to Alzheimer’s disease, using blood or other measures. It may help researchers understand whether sleep apnea is connected to memory and brain health—and who might benefit most from better sleep care.
Palma, Balearic IslandsAges 18–65 - NCT07312305Recruiting
Small airways test in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
This study measures how well the small airways in your lungs work if you have idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It aims to find better ways to assess the disease and could lead to improved care.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT05009758Recruiting
Asthma and nasal polyps study to match immune patterns
This study looks at different “immune inflammation patterns” in people with asthma and/or nasal polyps. It may help researchers better tailor future treatments by figuring out which patterns go with which symptoms.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic obstructive airway disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 71 recruiting chronic obstructive airway 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 obstructive airway 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 obstructive airway 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.
