Walking training in COPD: comparing different slopes
This study tests whether walking on different types of slopes improves exercise ability in people with COPD. It aims to find the best slope training to help you breathe easier and walk farther.
Istanbul, Eyüp SultanAges 40 years+ - NCT06283966RecruitingPhase 3
Triple inhaler for COPD with heart risk
This study tests a triple-combination inhaler (budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol) to see if it can help protect the heart and lungs in people with COPD who also have heart problems or high risk for them.
Athens, AlabamaAges 40–80 - NCT05181826Recruiting
Blood collection study for cancer and benign diseases
This study collects blood samples from people with different health conditions (cancer, diabetes, liver disease, etc.) and from healthy volunteers. The goal is to find markers in the blood that could help detect or monitor diseases.
Redondo Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06349174Recruiting
Lung valve treatment for severe COPD
This study tests whether placing tiny valves in the airways can help people with severe COPD breathe easier. It is for people who still have trouble breathing despite quitting smoking and completing pulmonary rehab.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–85 - NCT06366113Recruiting
Morning vs. afternoon exercise for COPD rehab
This study tests whether the time of day you exercise (morning vs. afternoon) affects how much you improve during a COPD rehabilitation program. It may help you get the most benefit from your rehab sessions.
LilleAges 18–85 - NCT06377410Recruiting
Ivy extract vs NAC for COPD: Which works better?
This study compares two treatments – a dry powder ivy extract and a common mucus-thinning medicine called NAC – to see which is safer and more effective for people with stable COPD. If you have COPD and are over 40, this trial could help find a better option to manage your symptoms.
Cheras, Kuala LumpurAges 40 years+ - NCT06390345Recruiting
Telehealth lifestyle and exercise for COPD and sleep apnea
This study tests a telehealth program that combines lifestyle coaching and exercise to help people with both COPD and sleep apnea improve their breathing and daily function. It may be a good fit if you are overweight, have a history of smoking, and feel short of breath during light activity.
Boise, IdahoAges 18 years+ - NCT06401512Recruiting
Digital follow-up for COPD patients in primary care
This trial tests a digital follow-up program for people with COPD who live at home. It aims to help manage your condition with remote support from your healthcare team.
Bergen, NorwayAges 35–80 - NCT06447831Recruiting
Home exercise tests for lung disease
This study tests how well people with chronic lung disease can do exercise tests at home, either with a researcher watching remotely or by themselves. The goal is to see if home-based tests are as reliable as clinic-based ones.
QuébecAges 40 years+ - NCT06476015Recruiting
Exercise for chronic disease patients
This study looks at whether a physical exercise program can help people with long-term health conditions like COPD or diabetes. If you are 60 to 90 years old and already part of the 'Ser más' program, you may be able to join.
Medellín, AntioquiaAges 60–90 - NCT06476769Recruiting
Blow bottle and postural drainage for COPD
This study tests whether combining a simple blow-bottle breathing exercise with postural drainage (lying in different positions to help clear mucus) can help people with moderate to severe COPD breathe better. It is designed for older adults who are stable and do not have other major health issues.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 432 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.
