Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07751705Recruiting
Using sound waves to collect lung mucus samples in COPD patients
This trial is testing whether a device that uses sound waves can help collect lung mucus samples more easily in people with COPD. It compares two groups: current smokers and ex-smokers, to see if the device works differently for them.
Hanover, Lower SaxonyAges 40 years+ - NCT05053061Recruiting
Telerehabilitation program for people with COPD at home
This trial tests whether supervised rehab exercises delivered by phone/video (telerehabilitation) can help people living with COPD. You may be a fit if you’re an adult with COPD who hasn’t done pulmonary rehabilitation before and can use a smartphone.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT07705737RecruitingPhase 2
Testing Rademikibart for asthma or COPD flare-ups
This trial tests an investigational drug called Rademikibart for people having a severe asthma or COPD flare-up that needs emergency care and steroids. The study aims to see if the drug can help control the flare-up faster and reduce the need for more treatment.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–85 - 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 - NCT07666854Recruiting
Home-based vs. in-person lung rehab for COPD patients in remote areas
This study compares remote (tele-pulmonary) rehab to in-person rehab for people with moderate-to-severe COPD who live far from medical centers. You join from home using a phone or computer, with guided exercises and support.
Tel AvivAges 40 years+ - 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 - NCT07665931Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for copd?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 415 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.
