Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07102589Recruiting
Walking test to measure exercise ability before lung surgery
This trial uses a shuttle walking test to see how well people with chronic lung disease can exercise before and after lung surgery. It may help doctors better understand recovery and plan care.
Seongnam-si, Not Required For This CountryAges 40 years+ - NCT07102823Recruiting
A registry study of lung blood vessel health in COPD
This study aims to better understand how COPD affects the blood vessels in your lungs by looking at measurements from a right heart catheterization. It may help doctors identify a specific pattern of lung and heart problems in people with COPD.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT07114120RecruitingPhase 4
Bailing capsules and Guben Kechuan granules for stable bronchiectasis
This trial tests whether two Chinese herbal medicines, Bailing capsules and Guben Kechuan granules, can help people with stable bronchiectasis. It aims to reduce flare-ups and improve lung function.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT07140328RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new inhaler for COPD symptoms
This trial tests two forms of a new medication (HSK39004) in people with COPD. The goal is to see if they help improve breathing and are safe. Eligible participants must be between 40 and 80, have moderate to severe COPD, and be able to stop other COPD treatments during the study.
Nanchang, JiangsuAges 40–80 - NCT07146698Recruiting
No sedation vs. daily sedation breaks for COPD patients on a ventilator
This trial compares not using sedation at all versus daily breaks in sedation for people with COPD who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit. It aims to see if one approach leads to better outcomes, such as shorter time on the ventilator.
Banhā, Qalyubia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07154355Recruiting
Community exercise for heart and lung patients
This study tests whether a community exercise program can improve health in people with heart or lung problems. It may help if you are not already doing regular, structured exercise.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT07173348Recruiting
Hypnosis for managing severe breathlessness
This study tests whether hypnosis sessions can help you feel more in control of your breathlessness. If you have a chronic lung or heart condition and struggle with shortness of breath, you may be able to join a series of 3 hypnosis visits to see if it improves your daily life.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT07177976Recruiting
Comparing two breathing exercises for COPD
This study compares two breathing techniques—Pilates breathing and pursed lip breathing—to see which one improves chest expansion and peak expiratory flow rate (how fast you can blow air out) in people with mild COPD.
RawalpindiAges 40–64 - NCT07180368Recruiting

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for copd?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 419 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.
