- 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.

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+ - NCT07816835RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing nebulizer vs inhaler for COPD treatment
This study compares two ways of taking COPD maintenance medicines: using a nebulizer vs. using a handheld inhaler. The goal is to see which method works better for people with severe COPD, so researchers can help guide treatment choices.
Saint Charles, MissouriAges 60 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - NCT07701096Enrolling by invitation
Home breathing support monitoring for advanced COPD
This study tests a home monitoring system that watches how well noninvasive breathing support (a mask that helps you breathe) works for people with severe COPD. The system sends early warnings to your care team if your breathing patterns change, which may help prevent flare-ups.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07842510Recruiting
Controlled oxygen for copd flare-ups in the icu
This trial tests whether giving oxygen in a carefully controlled way (using a target range) works better than standard oxygen treatment for people in the ICU with a COPD flare-up. It aims to see if the controlled approach leads to better outcomes, like helping you recover faster.
Mahdia, Mahdia 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+ - NCT07797985RecruitingPhase 1
COPD app check-up for better medication
This study looks at how well the myCOPD app can spot when a patient's current medication isn't working well for their symptoms. If the app finds a possible issue, it may suggest a review with a clinician. This could help you get better symptom control.
Southampton, EnglandAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07629869Recruiting
COPD Follow-up Clinic After Severe Flare-ups
This trial helps people with COPD who recently had a serious flare-up (worsening of breathing) by offering specialized follow-up care. The clinic aims to prevent future flare-ups and improve your health after an emergency visit.
Tel AvivAges 40–80 - 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+ - NCT07573098Recruiting
Digital Tool to Help Manage Your COPD at Home
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help you track and manage your COPD symptoms day-to-day. It includes a small device you use at home to measure your lung function, aiming to help you catch problems early and stay healthier.
Solna, Stockholm CountyAges 40 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07339280Enrolling by invitation
Probiotics for COPD: symptoms, lungs, and inflammation
This study tests whether taking a probiotic can improve symptoms, lung function, and inflammation in people with COPD. It is for adults with stable COPD who have not had a flare-up or treatment change in the last two months.

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+ - NCT07104136Enrolling by invitation
Training doctors to improve COPD treatment adherence

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for copd?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 413 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.
