Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT06802003Recruiting
Predicting COPD flare-ups with wearable devices
This study tests whether a wearable device and a smartphone app can predict when your COPD will flare up. It uses AI to spot early warning signs, so you might get help sooner.
Montreal, QuebecAges 40 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 - NCT06724848Recruiting
Studying Biomarkers and COPD Types in Chinese People
This study looks at signs (biomarkers) and different types of COPD in Chinese people. It aims to better understand COPD and pre-COPD, which may help with future treatments.
BeijingAges 30 years+ - NCT05922202Recruiting
Studying how frailty affects outcomes in COPD
This study looks at whether frailty (how weak or vulnerable someone is) changes the risk of heart-related events and death in people with COPD. It may help doctors better predict who is at higher risk and tailor care.
ModenaAges 40 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+ - NCT06523140Recruiting
Remote monitoring for COPD flare-up prevention
This trial tests a remote monitoring system (BoraCare®) for people with COPD. It uses a wearable device and an early warning score to detect flare-ups early, so you can get faster care and avoid hospital stays.
Brest, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05829083Recruiting
Test of a new breathing interface for COPD flare-ups
This study compares a new breathing interface (“DUET”) with the usual interface for people with COPD who are having an acute flare-up and higher-than-normal carbon dioxide levels. It aims to see whether the new interface helps you breathe better and recover more safely.
AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT05897125Enrolling by invitation
Telehealth education to help people with COPD after a hospital stay
This study tests whether a telehealth (video/phone) education program can help people with COPD better manage their health after a hospital flare-up. It may reduce the chance of needing to return to the hospital soon after discharge.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05704881Recruiting
Using breath CO2 levels to judge COPD flare severity in ER
This study measures an easy breathing signal called end-tidal carbon dioxide (a CO2 reading from your exhaled breath) to help judge how severe a COPD flare is. It may help doctors decide how closely you need monitoring and treatment during emergency care.
Grenoble, IsèreAges 18 years+ - NCT04860375Recruiting
Program for severe COPD after a hospital breathing flare-up
This trial studies a coordinated (multidisciplinary) care program for people with severe COPD who were recently hospitalized for worsening breathing symptoms. It may help reduce future flare-ups and improve day-to-day breathing by coordinating multiple types of care in a COPD center.
Gothenburg, VGRAges 40–100 - NCT04200079Recruiting
Long-term follow-up study for people with COPD
This study follows people with COPD over time to better understand their lung health and how it changes. It may help researchers and doctors learn what factors affect breathing and long-term outcomes.
Kingston, OntarioAges 40–85 - NCT02803242Recruiting
Patient research network for people with lung symptoms
This trial enrolls adults to help build a patient-powered research network for chronic lung disease. If you join, you’ll likely be asked to complete surveys or provide information to help researchers learn how symptoms and health outcomes change over time.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05734365Recruiting
COPD patients admitted to ICU after a flare, for registry
This observational study collects information on people with COPD (chronic lung disease) who have a severe flare requiring ICU care. It does not test a new drug, but the data may help doctors better understand severe COPD episodes and ICU outcomes.
Le ChesnayAges 40 years+ - NCT07428785Recruiting
Measuring lung and blood volume in COPD
This study looks at how COPD affects the amount of air your lungs can hold and the total blood in your body. The goal is to better understand the disease, which may help improve future treatments.
CopenhagenAges 45–80 - NCT07854210Recruiting
High-flow nasal oxygen versus non-invasive ventilation for COPD
This trial compares two breathing support methods for people hospitalized with COPD and mild-to-moderate carbon dioxide retention. It aims to see if high-flow nasal oxygen is as effective as the standard mask-based ventilation.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 40 years+ - NCT06257329Recruiting
Studying severe COPD flare-ups in the ICU
This trial is looking at patients with a serious worsening of their chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who need intensive care. It aims to gather information to help improve treatment for these severe episodes.
Le ChesnayAges 40 years+ - NCT07870655Enrolling by invitation
Long-term effects of exercise habits in COPD
This study looks at how exercise habits from an earlier COPD exercise trial affect patients over the long term. It helps understand if the benefits last and how to keep patients active.
CopenhagenAges 40–80 - NCT05660460Recruiting
COPD street-level study in Denmark
This study looks at chronic lung disease (COPD) and how it affects people in everyday life. It may help researchers understand what support works best, using follow-up through Denmark’s health records.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07848815Recruiting
Lung cancer checks for COPD patients
This study looks at people with COPD to find lung cancer earlier using risk-based checks. It may help catch cancer sooner and guide better care.
Vejle, Region SyddanmarkAges 50 years+ - NCT07837375Recruiting
Physical activity support app for COPD patients
This study tests a mobile app that helps people with COPD exercise more safely, possibly by giving them better tips and reminders. It aims to see if the app can improve their daily activity and overall wellbeing.
MontivilliersAges 18 years+ - NCT07835945Recruiting
Testing blood gas from artery vs fingertip in breathing distress
This trial compares blood drawn from an artery (arterial blood gas) with blood from a fingertip (capillary blood gas) to see if the fingertip test gives accurate enough results for patients in the emergency room with breathing problems caused by COPD or heart failure. It might help reduce the pain and discomfort of repeated artery tests.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT03890224Recruiting
Testing breathing support needs in COPD with high CO2
This trial studies how different breathing support strategies affect people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide (CO2) in their blood. It may help care teams choose safer respiratory support after a breathing machine is stopped.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06519474Recruiting
Elastic chest wrap for COPD breathing and walking
This study tests if wearing an elastic chest wrap during exercise can help people with COPD breathe better and walk farther. You would do breathing and walking tests with and without the wrap to see if it makes a difference.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for copd?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 409 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.
