Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- 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+ - NCT07072039Recruiting
Paramedic home care for COPD flare-ups
This study tests whether a special paramedic program can help people with COPD (a chronic lung disease) avoid future emergency visits by providing in-home care and support. It is for patients with recent COPD flare-ups who are seen at certain clinics in Worcester.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 30 years+ - NCT05701982Recruiting
Walking plus Tai Chi coach via video for COPD and pain
This study tests whether a phone/computer program that combines walking training with Tai Chi improves physical function (how well you move) in people who have COPD and long-term body or muscle pain. It may help you build strength, balance, and safer movement—especially if pain makes activity hard.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–100 - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT06538376Recruiting
New portable chest X-ray for ICU patients
This study tests a new portable chest X-ray that can be used in the ICU to check for problems like fluid in the lungs, trouble breathing, or swallowing issues. It is designed to help doctors see these problems more easily without moving you to the radiology department.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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.
North Dartmouth, MassachusettsAges 40–80 - NCT07119229Recruiting
New implant study for severe emphysema
This trial tests a new implant for people with severe emphysema. It aims to see if the implant can help you breathe easier and walk farther.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 22 years+ - NCT07646587RecruitingPhase 2
Safety Study of WIN378 for Moderate-Severe COPD
This study tests a new drug called WIN378 in people with moderate-to-severe COPD (chronic lung disease). It will check if the drug is safe and how the body processes it, which may help improve breathing and reduce flare-ups.
North Dartmouth, MassachusettsAges 40–80 - NCT03524222Recruiting
Home hospital care for adults after sudden illness
This trial tests whether certain adults can safely receive hospital-level care at home instead of staying in the hospital, using a home care team. It may help you recover in your own home if your condition fits their plan and you have support at home.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT04801108Recruiting
Lung valve treatment for emphysema with specific lung anatomy
This trial tests a one-way lung valve system to reduce over-inflated lung areas in people with emphysema. It’s aimed at patients whose lung scans suggest they may benefit from “fissure completion” to improve airflow.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–75 - NCT05257681Recruiting
Repairing a lung airspace after failed bronchoscopic treatment
This study looks at a procedure to “complete” a lung fissure in people whose prior bronchoscopic lung volume reduction did not work as well as hoped. It may help reduce persistent shortness of breath, but eligibility depends on your lung test results and overall heart/lung safety.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–75 - NCT05934565Recruiting
Using mindfulness coaching to help people move more
This trial studies a program that uses mindfulness coaching to help people with chronic lung disease (COPD) and/or heart failure (HF) be more physically active. You may benefit if you can safely start exercising and track your steps using a Fitbit.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT05937854RecruitingPhase 2
Tadalafil to help breathing in COPD with pulmonary hypertension
This Phase 2 study tests whether tadalafil can improve breathlessness in people with COPD and pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). It may help you breathe more easily if your symptoms are driven by this specific lung circulation problem.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 35–89 - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–80 - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–80 - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–84 - 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).
New Bedford, MassachusettsAges 40–80 - NCT01177618Recruiting
Study of early-onset severe COPD in younger adults
This study looks at people who develop COPD (a long-term lung breathing problem) at a younger age and have severe airflow limitation. It may help researchers better understand COPD in early-onset patients and find ways to improve care for this group.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT05443321Enrolling by invitation
Health information sharing during hospital transfers
This trial studies whether sharing patients’ health information between hospitals during transfers can improve outcomes. You may be included if you are moved from a specific partner hospital to Brigham and Women’s Hospital and admitted to certain hospital units.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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.

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.
