- NCT06891755Recruiting
Lung deflation procedure for severe emphysema
This study tests a bronchoscopic treatment to release trapped air in severely hyperinflated lungs caused by emphysema. It may help you breathe easier if you have advanced COPD and meet specific lung function and imaging criteria.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 40–84 - NCT06512064Recruiting
Breath sound test for lung health
This study tests a new device that listens to your breathing to check lung health. It is for healthy people and those with asthma, COPD, CF, or other airway diseases.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 8–70 - NCT07051707Recruiting
Study of a new lung treatment for people with COPD
This trial tests a device called dNerva that targets nerves in the lungs to help people with COPD breathe easier. It is designed for those who have moderate to severe COPD and are not currently smoking.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 40–80 - NCT07190209RecruitingPhase 3
Testing lunsekimig for COPD with frequent flare-ups
This trial tests a new medicine called lunsekimig for people with COPD that still causes flare-ups despite standard treatment. It focuses on people with higher blood eosinophils (a type of white blood cell). If you smoke or used to smoke and have had at least 2 moderate or 1 severe flare-up in the past year, this study may be an option.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 40–80 - NCT07610395RecruitingPhase 2
Testing an oral drug for cold virus in COPD patients
This trial tests an oral medication (VPV) to see if it can safely treat rhinovirus (a common cold virus) in people with COPD. The goal is to help you recover faster and prevent serious COPD flare-ups.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 40–85 - NCT05204888Recruiting
Home breathing device study for COPD patients after recent flare-up
This study tests whether a home high-flow nasal breathing device (myAirvo 3) helps people with COPD who recently needed hospital care for a flare-up. You would use the device at home and track symptoms, oxygen levels, and heart rate daily to see how well it works.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 30 years+ - NCT07059091RecruitingPhase 2
Omalizumab for COPD with allergies
This trial tests if omalizumab, an allergy medication, can help people with COPD who have allergies to common indoor triggers like cat, dog, mouse, cockroach, or dust mite. It aims to reduce flare-ups and improve breathing.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 40 years+ - NCT07082738RecruitingPhase 2
Study of AZD6793 for people with moderate to very severe COPD

Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 40 years+ - NCT05270525RecruitingPhase 2
Ensifentrine nebulizer trial to reduce COPD airway inflammation markers
This trial tests ensifentrine, given through a nebulizer, to see if it changes inflammation-related substances found in mucus/phlegm in people with COPD. It may help doctors understand whether this treatment improves COPD biology and could lead to better symptom control.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 40–80 - NCT03500731RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lung and bone marrow transplant for lung and blood failure
This Phase 1/2 study tests a special lung-and-bone-marrow transplant approach for people with severe lung disease and bone marrow failure (low blood counts). The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and whether it can improve outcomes when standard long-term immune-suppressing medicines are a poor fit.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–60 - NCT04930289Enrolling by invitation
Lung transplant registry for better donor lung preservation
This study builds a worldwide database to track and improve how donor lungs are preserved before transplant. Your information may help doctors choose and manage donor lungs more effectively.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT05502653Recruiting
Study inflammation, lung function, and fungal movement in HIV
This study looks at how body inflammation and lung health relate to the movement of fungi in the body of people living with HIV. The goal is to better understand what factors may affect lung problems and fungal “translocation,” which may help future care.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT06035120Recruiting
Sealing damaged lung parts in severe emphysema
This trial tests a new treatment called AeriSeal to seal off damaged parts of the lung in people with severe emphysema. It aims to help you breathe better by reducing the amount of air trapped in your lungs.

What taking part in a copd study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
