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+ - 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+ - NCT06366113Recruiting

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+ - NCT06334575RecruitingPhase 4
COPD treatment study based on eosinophil levels
This trial tests if inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) work better for COPD patients with different eosinophil levels. You must already be taking two long-acting bronchodilators and have stopped smoking for at least 6 months.
MarburgAges 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 - NCT06253013Recruiting
CHARM-COPD program of care after a flare-up
This study tests a program of care called CHARM-COPD for people who recently left the hospital after a COPD flare-up. It offers virtual pulmonary rehab or remote monitoring to help you recover and manage your condition at home.
Toronto, OntarioAges 40 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+ - NCT06188065Recruiting
Eosinopenia and Recovery in Severe COPD Exacerbation
This study is looking at people admitted to the hospital for a severe COPD flare-up. It checks if a low level of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood is linked to how quickly you recover from the flare-up.
North ShieldsAges 35 years+ - NCT06144476Recruiting
Lung inflammation study in healthy and diseased lungs
This study compares the lungs of people with airway disease to healthy volunteers to understand inflammation and lung function. You may be eligible if you have airway disease or are a healthy adult.
London, LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06110403RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a long-acting inhaler for COPD symptoms and lung function
This trial tests a once-daily inhaler that combines a long-acting bronchodilator with a corticosteroid to see if it improves breathing, lung function, and quality of life in people with moderate-to-severe COPD who have significant shortness of breath.
LilleAges 40–75 - NCT01177618Recruiting
Study of early-onset severe COPD in younger adults
This study looks at people who develop COPD (a long-term lung breathing problem) at a younger age and have severe airflow limitation. It may help researchers better understand COPD in early-onset patients and find ways to improve care for this group.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT01776398Recruiting
Donating breath, blood, and urine samples for lung research
This study collects airway samples (usually during a bronchoscopy), plus blood and/or urine, to help researchers study lung conditions. It may help advance understanding of lung disease and related biology, but it is not a treatment trial.
New York, New YorkAges 18 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 - NCT05785026Recruiting
Menthol to reduce breathlessness in COPD and healthy adults
This trial tests whether menthol helps with breathlessness (dyspnea) during exercise. You may be asked to do breathing and exercise tests, and to use menthol under study supervision to see if symptoms improve.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT05952999Enrolling by invitation
Studying Hospital-At-Home care done from home
This trial looks at how well a “Hospital at Home” program works when people start from the emergency department or are already in the hospital and can be cared for at home. It may help teams improve care at home for certain medical conditions and situations.

Tadalafil to help breathing in COPD with pulmonary hypertension
This Phase 2 study tests whether tadalafil can improve breathlessness in people with COPD and pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). It may help you breathe more easily if your symptoms are driven by this specific lung circulation problem.

Aurora, ColoradoAges 40 years+ - NCT05903001Recruiting
Breathing muscle testing to help track lung disease
This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.

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.
