Sodium bicarbonate for kidney disease energy and acidity
This trial studies whether taking sodium bicarbonate changes “energy” in cells and improves metabolic acidosis (an acid build-up) in people with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease. You may be able to join if your kidney function and blood bicarbonate levels fit their targets and you meet safety rules.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 21–85 - NCT05655325Recruiting
Exercise program to improve thinking in older adults with mild memory trouble
This study tests whether a supervised exercise plan can improve executive thinking (like planning and task control) in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Researchers also look for brain changes using an MRI.
New York, New YorkAges 55 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+ - NCT07413315Recruiting
Kidney rehab program for dialysis patients after hospital stay
This study tests a special exercise and education program for people on daily hemodialysis (a type of kidney treatment) who have recently been in the hospital. The goal is to see if this program helps you recover and feel better.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05279742Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug to boost a hormone system in HFpEF
This early-phase trial tests a treatment that aims to improve the “natriuretic peptide” hormone system in people with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved pumping strength). It may help reduce symptoms and improve heart and fluid pressure behavior, especially in certain related conditions like kidney disease.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 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+ - NCT04750564Recruiting
BreEStim to help arm movement after long-term stroke
This pilot study tests a type of nerve stimulation (BreEStim) to improve arm and finger movement in people with chronic stroke-related stiffness. It may help if you have persistent, measurable muscle tightness and are medically stable.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06377449Recruiting
Lung ultrasound for better outcomes after heart surgery
This study tests whether using ultrasound to look at the lungs during and after heart surgery helps improve recovery. You may be eligible if you are having open-heart surgery with a heart-lung machine and meet certain health criteria.
Saint Petersburg, Sankt-PeterburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06578234RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing Adenosine Doses for Heart MRI
This study will compare different doses of adenosine during a heart MRI to find the best dose for measuring blood flow to the heart muscle. It is for people with known or possible coronary artery disease or heart failure, as well as healthy volunteers.
LundAges 40 years+ - NCT07723144Recruiting
Identifying sleep apnea biomarkers
This study compares blood samples from people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and those without sleep apnea to find markers that could help diagnose or treat the condition. Half of those with sleep apnea will start CPAP therapy right away, while others wait before starting.
Bialystok, Podlaskie VoivodeshipAges 18–65 - NCT06732674Recruiting
Home-based care for lung disease in rheumatic conditions
This trial tests whether people with lung disease caused by a rheumatic condition can safely manage their care at home using a smartphone or tablet. It aims to see if home monitoring is as effective as in-person visits for keeping your lungs healthy.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06069115Recruiting
How radiation affects lung function in breast cancer patients
This study looks at how radiation therapy for breast cancer may affect your lungs over time. Researchers will measure lung function and see if problems develop, so they can better understand and protect patients.
Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk OblastAges 18 years+ - NCT02630121RecruitingPhase 4
Nasal spray treatment to reduce mild sleep apnea congestion
This study tests whether using oxymetazoline with fluticasone nasal spray can improve mild obstructive sleep apnea by lowering nasal congestion. If your nose stays blocked most days despite current spray use, this may help your breathing during sleep.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–65 - NCT07048808RecruitingPhase 2

Testing two pills vs one for pulmonary hypertension with heart or metabolism issues
This trial compares starting with two oral medications versus one for people newly diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who also have conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, or heart disease. The goal is to see if a two-drug approach works better for patients with these additional health issues.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease severe?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 197 recruiting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease severe 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 pulmonary disease severe 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 pulmonary disease severe 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.
