Testing an oral drug for cold virus in COPD patients
This trial tests an oral medication (VPV) to see if it can safely treat rhinovirus (a common cold virus) in people with COPD. The goal is to help you recover faster and prevent serious COPD flare-ups.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 40–85 - NCT06986070RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell therapy for mild to moderate COPD
This study tests whether a new type of stem cell (SMS cells) can help people with mild or moderate COPD caused by smoking or pollution. You will receive the treatment by inhalation and be followed to see if your breathing improves.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 39–69 - NCT04253964RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This study tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see how well this treatment works in patients with different levels of daily activity.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07145632Recruiting
Smartphone app to improve inhaler technique for asthma and copd
This study tests a smartphone app that helps you learn or improve how to use your inhaler correctly. The app provides education and training to make sure you get the most from your medication.
Uppsala, Uppsala CountyAges 16 years+ - NCT07748858Recruiting
Heart care support for older African American patients
This study aims to improve care for older African American patients with heart conditions and other health problems. It tests ways to provide more patient-centered support.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 50–99 - NCT05879211Enrolling by invitation
Care learning lab for Duke Health patients
This trial is a “learning laboratory” that studies how best to provide goal-focused care. It may help improve care experiences for Duke Health patients, based on what the study learns.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06629558Recruiting
A less invasive treatment for severe emphysema
This trial tests a bronchoscopic procedure to reduce lung volume in patients with severe emphysema that is patchy (not spread evenly). The goal is to help you breathe better without the need for surgery.
Al MansurahAges 40–75 - NCT06419062Enrolling by invitation
Using wearables to monitor COPD at home
This study tests if a wearable device can help track your COPD symptoms between doctor visits. You'll use a smartphone or computer to share data, which may help your care team stay on top of your health.
GlasgowAges 18 years+ - NCT06301841Recruiting
Antibiotic choice for COPD with pneumonia in ICU
This trial is testing a new way to choose antibiotics for people with COPD who get pneumonia and need intensive care. The goal is to find the best treatment using a personalized approach.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT06236347Enrolling by invitation
Rural COPD study using e-visits for smokers
This study tests whether online e-visits can help rural smokers without COPD quit smoking. It uses smartphone tools and mailed devices to track progress remotely.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 40 years+ - NCT06025500Recruiting
Muscle function before and after lung valve treatment
This study looks at how well your leg muscles work before and after getting special valves placed in your lungs. It uses an exercise bike test and an MRI scan to measure muscle changes, and the results may help people with COPD breathe better.
GroningenAges Any age - NCT04761393Recruiting
Testing a lung protein in COPD sputum samples

Registry for adults with bronchiectasis and non-tuberculosis lung bacteria
This study is a registry that collects health information from adults who have bronchiectasis caused by non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM). It helps researchers better understand this condition and improve future treatments.

Exercise for smokers with early lung changes
This trial tests if exercise can help smokers or former smokers who have early signs of lung trouble (called PRISm) and may later develop COPD. Participation involves exercise and monitoring to see if it can slow or prevent lung disease.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06419036Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for emphysema or copd?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 435 recruiting emphysema or 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 emphysema or 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 emphysema or 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.
