Studying COPD types and treatable traits
This study looks at different forms of COPD to find better ways to treat them. It may help you understand your own condition and receive more personalized care.
Hong KongAges 40 years+ - NCT06966271Recruiting
Lung medication study for asthma or COPD patients
This study uses computer modeling to see how much of your inhaled medication reaches your lungs. It helps doctors understand how to better treat breathing conditions like asthma or COPD.
BudapestAges 18 years+ - NCT06967324Recruiting
Tailored support for advanced COPD with flare-ups
This study tests a personalized care program for people with advanced COPD who have had a flare-up in the last year. It aims to improve quality of life and reduce symptoms by offering extra support at home.
HvidovreAges 65 years+ - NCT06994689Recruiting
Measuring muscle in COPD patients starting rehab
This trial uses a special device to measure muscle mass and stiffness in the thigh to see if it helps track recovery during pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD.
Le HavreAges 18 years+ - NCT07000604Recruiting
How inhaler use affects oral health in COPD patients
This study looks at how using a metered dose inhaler (a common type of inhaler) might impact your mouth and teeth if you have COPD. It aims to help understand and improve oral care for people using these inhalers.
ÇankırıAges 35–80 - NCT07027852Recruiting
My Lung Health Coach: A Virtual COPD Self-Management Program
This study tests a virtual program called 'My Lung Health Coach' that helps people with COPD manage their condition through an app connected to their health record. The goal is to see if this self-management program can improve your breathing, reduce flare-ups, and help you feel more in control of your health.
Toronto, OntarioAges 40–100 - NCT07037836RecruitingPhase 2
Inhaled treprostinil for COPD with low oxygen
This trial tests an inhaled medication called treprostinil (Tyvaso) to see if it can help people with COPD who have low blood oxygen levels. You may qualify if you have chronic bronchitis, use oxygen at rest or during exercise, and meet specific lung function criteria.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 40 years+ - NCT07045532Recruiting
MRI to check BTVA and nodule ablation results
This trial uses special MRI scans to see how well two treatments work: thermal steam ablation for COPD and ablation (radiofrequency, microwave, or freezing) for lung nodules. The goal is to find out if MRI can measure the effects of these treatments more accurately.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07045948Recruiting
Tracking lung health trends in COPD with breath tests
This study checks how exhaled breath changes over 6-month visits in people with COPD, to see if it can help track lung health over time. It may help find new ways to monitor your condition without invasive tests.
JetteAges 40 years+ - NCT07051707Recruiting
