Recruiting studies in Alabama
- NCT05033990Recruiting
Study of early COPD changes using breathing tests and scans
This study follows people with early COPD patterns (or no lung disease) to understand how COPD starts and progresses over time. You may have breathing tests and possibly CT scans, and some participants may join an added lung procedure (bronchoscopy).
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 30–55 - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 30 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40–80 - 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+ - NCT06878261RecruitingPhase 3
Tezepelumab for moderate to very severe COPD
This study tests a new medication called tezepelumab (given as a shot) to see if it can reduce COPD flare-ups in people with moderate to very severe COPD who have had recent flare-ups despite using inhalers. It may be an option for those with higher levels of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in their blood.
Cullman, AlabamaAges 40–80 - NCT06883305RecruitingPhase 3
Testing tezepelumab for moderate to severe COPD
This trial tests tezepelumab, an injected medication, for people with moderate to very severe COPD who still have flare-ups despite using standard inhalers. It may help reduce flare-ups and improve breathing for those with higher eosinophil levels.
Foley, AlabamaAges 40–80 - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40–80 - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40 years+ - NCT07222410Recruiting
Smart oxygen control for COPD patients on nasal high flow
This trial tests a smart oxygen system that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for people with COPD who are in the hospital using a nasal high-flow device. It may help keep your oxygen levels stable without needing constant adjustments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 22 years+ - 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.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 40–85 - NCT07748858Recruiting
Heart care support for older African American patients
This study aims to improve care for older African American patients with heart conditions and other health problems. It tests ways to provide more patient-centered support.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 50–99 - NCT07082738RecruitingPhase 2
Study of AZD6793 for people with moderate to very severe COPD
This trial tests a new drug called AZD6793 for people with moderate to very severe COPD. It aims to see if the drug can help improve breathing and reduce flare-ups.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40 years+ - NCT06283966RecruitingPhase 3
Triple inhaler for COPD with heart risk
This study tests a triple-combination inhaler (budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol) to see if it can help protect the heart and lungs in people with COPD who also have heart problems or high risk for them.
Athens, AlabamaAges 40–80 - NCT06505603Recruiting
PiMZ alpha-1 deficiency progression study
This study is looking at people with a specific mild form of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (PiMZ) to understand how their lung disease progresses over time. It involves lung function tests and CT scans, and may help researchers learn more about the condition.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40–84 - NCT06961214RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new biologic for COPD with type 2 inflammation
This trial tests a medicine called depemokimab for people with COPD and a specific type of inflammation (type 2). It aims to see if it can reduce flare-ups when added to standard inhaler therapy.
Sheffield, AlabamaAges 40–80 - NCT07135427RecruitingPhase 4
Genes and vaccines in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
This study looks at how genetic differences in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency affect immune response to a pneumonia vaccine. It may help find better ways to prevent lung infections.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 19 years+ - NCT07190222RecruitingPhase 3
New medicine for COPD with frequent flare-ups
This study tests a new medicine called Lunsekimig for people with COPD that has frequent flare-ups and high eosinophil levels (a sign of inflammation). It aims to see if it can help control symptoms better than a placebo (a dummy treatment).

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.

Common questions
- Are there copd clinical trials in Alabama?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 18 recruiting copd studies with a site in Alabama, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a copd study in Alabama?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Alabama to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Alabama, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a copd trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
