Recruiting studies
- NCT03263130Recruiting
Study breathing limits in overlap asthma-COPD
This trial looks at what causes breathing to become harder when you blow air out in people with asthma-COPD overlap, and in some people with emphysema or bronchiectasis. It may help researchers better understand your condition’s breathing problem and how to target it.
Lakewood, CaliforniaAges 30 years+ - NCT07543601Recruiting
Better COPD care for people evaluated for lung cancer
This trial tests whether people being checked for possible lung cancer can also get improved care for a breathing condition called COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). It focuses on patients whose lung function tests show airflow problems.
VejleAges 18 years+ - NCT04664491Recruiting
Program to reduce COPD flare-ups with standardized care
This study tests whether a structured care program for COPD can lower how often your symptoms flare up. It may help by improving everyday management and preventing future worsening.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40 years+ - NCT05507242RecruitingPhase 2
Drug that blocks TSLP to reduce COPD flare airway inflammation
This Phase 2 trial tests whether blocking TSLP can reduce inflammation in the airways of people with COPD, especially around flare-ups. If you often need prednisone and/or antibiotics for COPD exacerbations, this study may help determine a new treatment approach.
CopenhagenAges 40 years+ - NCT05572632Recruiting
COPD wellness rehab program for safety-net patients
This trial studies a COPD (chronic lung disease) wellness and rehabilitation program for people who get care through the safety-net health system. It may help improve day-to-day outcomes by supporting safer exercise and better COPD management.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40–90 - NCT06304207Recruiting
Study comparing remote vs in-person exercise for lung disease
This study tests whether a telehealth exercise program works as well as in-person sessions for people with chronic lung disease. You may join if you recently finished rehab for your lung condition and can walk with or without help.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT07414108Recruiting
Predicting response to breathing support in COPD
This study looks at whether nighttime breathing problems can predict long-term success with a non-invasive breathing machine in people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood. The goal is to help doctors decide who will benefit most from this therapy.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06544928Enrolling by invitation
Home monitoring for COPD flare-ups after hospital discharge
This study tests a wearable device that listens to your breathing at home. It may help detect early signs of a COPD flare-up so you can get care sooner. You can join if you have moderate to severe COPD and recently left the hospital for a flare-up.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 40–80 - NCT07750821Recruiting
Balance training for people with COPD
This study looks at whether adding balance training after standard pulmonary rehabilitation helps people with COPD improve their balance and reduce the risk of falls. It may help you feel more steady and confident in daily activities.
MiddlesbroughAges Any age - NCT05897125Enrolling by invitation
Telehealth education to help people with COPD after a hospital stay
This study tests whether a telehealth (video/phone) education program can help people with COPD better manage their health after a hospital flare-up. It may reduce the chance of needing to return to the hospital soon after discharge.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05922202Recruiting
Studying how frailty affects outcomes in COPD
This study looks at whether frailty (how weak or vulnerable someone is) changes the risk of heart-related events and death in people with COPD. It may help doctors better predict who is at higher risk and tailor care.
ModenaAges 40 years+ - NCT04860375Recruiting
Program for severe COPD after a hospital breathing flare-up
This trial studies a coordinated (multidisciplinary) care program for people with severe COPD who were recently hospitalized for worsening breathing symptoms. It may help reduce future flare-ups and improve day-to-day breathing by coordinating multiple types of care in a COPD center.
Gothenburg, VGRAges 40–100 - NCT05704881Recruiting
Using breath CO2 levels to judge COPD flare severity in ER
This study measures an easy breathing signal called end-tidal carbon dioxide (a CO2 reading from your exhaled breath) to help judge how severe a COPD flare is. It may help doctors decide how closely you need monitoring and treatment during emergency care.
Grenoble, IsèreAges 18 years+ - NCT05829083Recruiting
Test of a new breathing interface for COPD flare-ups
This study compares a new breathing interface (“DUET”) with the usual interface for people with COPD who are having an acute flare-up and higher-than-normal carbon dioxide levels. It aims to see whether the new interface helps you breathe better and recover more safely.
AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT05958563Recruiting
CPAP may prevent COPD flare-ups in COPD-OSA overlap
This study tests whether using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can reduce acute COPD flare-ups in people who also have sleep apnea. It may help by improving breathing during sleep and lowering the chance of worsening lung symptoms.
AngersAges 40 years+ - NCT06235502Recruiting
Home exercise after COPD flare-up: the COPDtoParis project
This trial tests whether a long-term home exercise program helps people with COPD recover better after a hospital stay for a flare-up. You would exercise at home and may join rehabilitation to improve your breathing and daily life.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT06413524Recruiting
Vibration exercises for people with COPD
This trial tests if different types of vibration exercises can help people with COPD (a chronic lung disease). It may be a good fit if you have severe COPD or have had recent flare-ups, are not already exercising regularly, and are willing to try a new therapy.
Taipei, Wenshan DistAges 40–99 - NCT06523140Recruiting
Remote monitoring for COPD flare-up prevention
This trial tests a remote monitoring system (BoraCare®) for people with COPD. It uses a wearable device and an early warning score to detect flare-ups early, so you can get faster care and avoid hospital stays.
Brest, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06724848Recruiting
Studying Biomarkers and COPD Types in Chinese People
This study looks at signs (biomarkers) and different types of COPD in Chinese people. It aims to better understand COPD and pre-COPD, which may help with future treatments.
BeijingAges 30 years+ - NCT06735612Recruiting
RSV and COPD Flare-Ups Study
This study looks at whether RSV (a common respiratory virus) is linked to COPD flare-ups that need urgent care. By testing patients during a flare-up, researchers hope to understand how RSV affects COPD and find better ways to manage it.
BarcelonaAges 50 years+ - NCT06772454Recruiting
Testing a new drug combo for advanced lung cancer with COPD
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) to standard chemotherapy and inhaled steroids helps people with advanced lung cancer who also have COPD. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06785337RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Inhaled nitroglycerin for COPD flare-ups
This trial tests if breathing in a medicine called nitroglycerin can help people with severe COPD and high blood pressure in their lungs. It aims to see if this treatment improves breathing during a COPD exacerbation.
Haram, Giza GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06802003Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for copd?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 418 recruiting copd 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 copd 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 copd 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.
