Recruiting studies
- NCT07050823Recruiting

Hefei, AnhuiAges 65 years+ - NCT07025382Recruiting
Home vs. center rehab for COPD patients
This trial compares doing pulmonary rehab at home via video calls versus going to a center. It aims to see which way helps people with COPD breathe better and feel healthier.
MontivilliersAges 45–80 - NCT07031336Recruiting
Photon-counting CT for better lung scans
This trial is testing a new type of CT scanner (photon-counting CT) for chest imaging. If you are already in the Duke-COPDGene study, you may be invited to also get this special scan to see if it gives clearer pictures of your lungs.
Durham, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT07015216Recruiting
Virtual reality training for COPD patients
This study tests if virtual reality combined with physical and mental tasks can improve muscle oxygen levels in people with COPD. It aims to find a more engaging way to help you exercise and feel better.
IstanbulAges 18–70 - NCT07022704Recruiting
Doxapram to help COPD patients breathe easier off the ventilator
This trial tests if the drug doxapram can improve diaphragm movement in COPD patients who are being taken off a ventilator during a breathing trial. It aims to make the transition smoother and more successful.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 20–65 - NCT07003399Recruiting
Breathing Muscle Function in Sleep Apnea and COPD
This study looks at how the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) and the drive to breathe work in people with sleep apnea, COPD, or both. Researchers want to compare these groups with healthy volunteers to better understand breathing problems.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT06985225Recruiting
Study of mucus plugs and lung function in mucus-related lung disease
This study looks at how mucus plugs affect air flow in the lungs. It may help find new ways to treat people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis, severe asthma, COPD, or bronchiectasis.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18–65 - NCT06983366Recruiting
Lung sliding index for diagnosing lung conditions
This study uses an ultrasound-based measurement called the Lung Sliding Index to help tell different lung diseases apart. Researchers want to see if it can be a useful and simple tool for doctors.
AsyutAges 18 years+ - NCT06976762Enrolling by invitation
Light-based muscle oxygen measurements in COPD with kidney disease
This study uses a special light-based device (near-infrared spectroscopy) to measure muscle oxygen levels in people who have both COPD and chronic kidney disease. Researchers want to see if these measurements can help predict how the disease progresses, which could lead to better monitoring and treatment.
Tokat ProvinceAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT06959095RecruitingPhase 3
Depemokimab for adults with COPD and type 2 inflammation
This trial tests a new biologic medicine called depemokimab, given as an injection, to see if it reduces flare-ups (exacerbations) in people with COPD who have a specific type of inflammation (high eosinophils). It may help if you have frequent flare-ups despite using your regular inhalers.
Bakersfield, CaliforniaAges 40–80 - NCT06961214RecruitingPhase 3
Depemokimab for COPD with type 2 inflammation
This study tests a new biologic medicine, given as an injection, to see if it can reduce flare-ups in adults with COPD who have a certain type of inflammation. It may help people who still have frequent exacerbations despite using their current inhalers.
Sheffield, AlabamaAges 40–80 - NCT06958042Enrolling by invitation
Lung and bladder health study for COPD patients
This study looks at how common bladder problems are in people with stable COPD. It aims to help doctors better understand and manage these symptoms.
Kütahya, CenterAges 40–65 - NCT06956742Recruiting
Breathing device study for COPD shortness of breath after exercise
This trial tests a device that briefly opens your airways to help release trapped air after exercise. It may reduce shortness of breath and improve your daily life with COPD.
Rouen, NormandyAges 18 years+ - NCT06283004Recruiting
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+ - NCT06648733Recruiting
Better medication safety when leaving the hospital for palliative care
This trial studies how to improve medication management when patients with advanced illnesses move from hospital care to home care in Muenster. It aims to make the switch smoother and safer for people who need palliative (comfort-focused) treatment.
Münster, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06644898Recruiting
Walking on slopes to improve balance in COPD
This study tests whether walking on different slopes (like hills) can help people with COPD improve their balance. It compares different types of incline walking to see which works best.

Study of BBT002 for COPD and Nasal Polyps
This trial tests a new drug, BBT002, first in healthy volunteers and then in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how it works in the body.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for emphysema or copd?
- 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.
