Recruiting studies
- NCT06890767Recruiting
Wearable monitoring for COPD patients in the hospital
This study tests whether using a wearable device (like a sensor or smartwatch) can help doctors check on COPD patients while they are in the hospital for a bad flare-up. The goal is to see if remote monitoring can make care better and help you get home sooner.
Genk, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06974981Recruiting
Using lung cancer screening to find and treat COPD
This study looks at how lung cancer screening can also help find and manage COPD, a lung condition that often goes undetected. If you are a current or former smoker and meet certain age and smoking history criteria, you may join to help improve screening and care for both lung cancer and COPD.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 50–80 - NCT07059637Recruiting
Clinic for muscle loss in COPD patients
This study tests a new clinic designed to help people with COPD who have lost muscle mass (sarcopenia). By using a CT scan done during your hospital stay, doctors can identify muscle loss and offer treatments to help you regain strength and function.
Cleveland, OhioAges 40 years+ - NCT07065799Recruiting
Breathing strategies for COPD with high carbon dioxide
This trial compares different breathing strategies for people with COPD who still have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood a few weeks after a severe flare-up. The goal is to find the best way to help you breathe easier and improve your oxygen levels.
ArezzoAges 18–90 - 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+ - NCT07087626Recruiting
COPD test scores and surgery risks
This study looks at whether a simple COPD assessment test score can predict how well patients with stable COPD do after planned surgery. It may help doctors better understand and manage risks for people like you.
Erzurum, YakutiyeAges 40–70 - NCT07382986Recruiting
Study of a herbal compound for COPD in China
This trial tests a traditional Chinese herbal compound formula for people with COPD. It aims to see if the herbal treatment can help improve lung health when used on top of standard inhaler therapy.
Hebi, HenanAges 40–80 - 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+ - 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.
KarlovacAges 18 years+ - NCT07104136Enrolling by invitation
Training doctors to improve COPD treatment adherence
This trial trains primary care doctors to help their COPD patients stick with treatments. It tests whether a new coaching approach can improve medication use and health outcomes.
Tel AvivAges 18 years+ - NCT06652776Enrolling by invitation
Italian COPD patient registry study
This study is creating a registry to better understand Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in Italian patients. It will collect information from people with COPD to improve care and research.
Milan, MilanAges 40 years+ - NCT07751705Recruiting
Sputum collection with a chest vibration device for COPD
This study tests whether a chest vibration device helps people with COPD produce sputum (phlegm) more easily during a breathing test. It may help researchers collect better samples to understand and treat COPD.
Hanover, Lower SaxonyAges 40–70 - NCT07668518RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of KIT2014 for moderate to severe COPD
This trial tests a new medicine called KIT2014 in people with moderate to severe COPD. It aims to see if the drug is safe, tolerable, and helps improve breathing and COPD symptoms.
Charlestown, New South WalesAges 40–80 - NCT07133880RecruitingPhase 4
Nebulizer vs inhaler for COPD breathing treatment
This study compares two ways to deliver long-acting bronchodilator medications for COPD: a nebulizer (machine that turns liquid medicine into a mist) versus a handheld inhaler. The goal is to see which method works better for people with moderate to severe COPD symptoms.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 40 years+ - NCT07261293Recruiting
Blood flow restriction exercise for COPD patients
This study tests whether adding mild blood flow restriction to aerobic exercise can improve lung function, exercise capacity, and inflammation in people with stable COPD. You would exercise on a bike or treadmill while wearing soft cuffs on your legs to lightly restrict blood flow.
IstanbulAges 40–80 - NCT07762157Recruiting
Home-based exercise program for lung recovery after COPD flare-ups
This study tests whether a supervised home-based exercise program, delivered via video calls, can help people recovering from a COPD flare-up feel stronger and breathe easier, compared with usual care. If you join, you'll have regular online sessions with a rehab team from home.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07285122RecruitingPhase 1
Inhaled study drug for healthy smokers and people with COPD
This study tests an inhaled medication called RB042 in healthy adults, healthy smokers, and people with COPD. It aims to see how the drug works in the body and whether it is safe, which could help in developing a new treatment for COPD.
Nedlands, Western AustraliaAges 18–80 - NCT07554352Recruiting
Home Device to Detect COPD Flare-Ups Early
This study tests a home monitoring device designed to catch COPD flare-ups (exacerbations) before they become severe. If you have had recent flare-ups, this device might help you stay healthier by alerting your doctor to problems early.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 21 years+ - NCT02800499Enrolling by invitation
COPD subgroup registry for people with cough and shortness of breath
This study enrolls certain people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to better understand COPD “subtypes” and symptoms like cough, mucus (sputum), and shortness of breath. It may help researchers predict what kind of COPD you have and improve future care.
Seoul, SeoulAges 40 years+ - NCT07684820RecruitingPhase 2
A study of ExPD-101 for COPD with chronic bronchitis and frequent flare-ups
This study tests an experimental drug (ExPD-101) given daily as a pill for 52 weeks for people with COPD who have chronic bronchitis and frequent flare-ups. It compares the drug to a placebo (inactive pill) to see if it reduces flare-ups and improves symptoms.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 40–85 - NCT05825014Recruiting
Using computer prediction to reduce COPD complications
This study uses information from past hospital discharge records and breathing test results to predict who with COPD may have worse health outcomes later. It may help future COPD care by identifying higher-risk patients earlier.
Hong Kong, New TerritoriesAges 40 years+ - NCT05280132Recruiting
Testing quick tests to shorten antibiotics in severe COPD flare
This trial checks whether using fast test results (PCR from samples, a blood marker called procalcitonin, and sputum appearance) can safely reduce how long you need antibiotics during a severe COPD flare. It may help you receive fewer days of antibiotics while still controlling the infection risk.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05738720Recruiting
Home breathing rehab to reduce COPD flare-ups and hospital visits

IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT03564236Recruiting
Nasal high-flow oxygen for COPD flare-ups in hospital
This trial tests whether a special type of oxygen delivered through the nose (high-flow nasal oxygen) helps people hospitalized for a COPD flare-up. It is likely meant for people with significant breathing problems and recent repeat flare-ups.

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.
