COPD and Chronic Bronchitis: Switching from Cigarettes to Heat-Not-Burn Device

Seoul, SeoulAges 18–100 - NCT07195838Recruiting
Mindful breathing for people with COPD
This study tests a mindful breathing program for people with COPD. It aims to help reduce stress and improve breathing. Participants use a smartphone or tablet to take part from home.
Hong KongAges 50–80 - NCT07212439Recruiting
Monitoring coughs to detect worsening COPD early
This study tests if monitoring your cough sounds can help detect a sudden worsening of COPD (a lung condition) sooner. It aims to find early warning signs so you can get treatment faster.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 18 years+ - NCT07213128Recruiting
Breathing muscle training after a COPD flare-up
This trial tests whether a special breathing muscle training program, done at home with help from a smartphone app, can help you recover better after a hospital stay for a COPD flare-up.
AalstAges 35 years+ - NCT07222410Recruiting
Smart oxygen control for COPD patients on nasal high flow
This trial tests a smart oxygen system that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for people with COPD who are in the hospital using a nasal high-flow device. It may help keep your oxygen levels stable without needing constant adjustments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 22 years+ - NCT07245576Recruiting
Testing new ways to diagnose asthma and COPD in primary care
This study compares simple breathing tests (oscillometry and FeNO) used by your primary care doctor against a specialist's diagnosis to see if they can accurately tell if you have asthma or COPD. If you have symptoms like wheezing, cough, or shortness of breath but haven't been diagnosed yet, this trial may help improve how these conditions are found.
Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT07249567Recruiting
Comparing COPD, PRISm, and healthy adults
This study compares the health of people with COPD (chronic lung disease) and those with PRISm (a milder lung condition) to healthy adults. The goal is to understand how these conditions affect daily life and overall health.
KarabükAges 40 years+ - NCT07267104Recruiting
Home ventilation study for COPD patients
This study looks at signals from non-invasive home ventilators to better track COPD. It may help understand how to manage the condition using data from your device.
Sabadell, BarcelonaAges 40–80 - NCT07292714RecruitingPhase 2
Testing 9MW1911 for people with moderate to severe COPD

- Are there clinical trials for copd?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 418 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.
