Recruiting studies
- NCT05466396Recruiting
Study of early COPD lung function in adults
This study looks at lung function in people with early COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) to understand what happens over time. If you meet the lung test and health requirements, you may be able to help researchers learn how to better track and manage early COPD.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 35–75 - NCT05660460Recruiting
COPD street-level study in Denmark
This study looks at chronic lung disease (COPD) and how it affects people in everyday life. It may help researchers understand what support works best, using follow-up through Denmark’s health records.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05701982Recruiting
Walking plus Tai Chi coach via video for COPD and pain
This study tests whether a phone/computer program that combines walking training with Tai Chi improves physical function (how well you move) in people who have COPD and long-term body or muscle pain. It may help you build strength, balance, and safer movement—especially if pain makes activity hard.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–100 - NCT05703919RecruitingPhase 4
Compare standard vs targeted oxygen for COPD flare-ups
This trial tests whether giving oxygen in a standard way or a more targeted way helps people who are having a COPD flare-up before they reach the hospital. It may help reduce oxygen-related harms while still treating low oxygen during emergency care.
Aarhus NAges 40 years+ - NCT05708443Recruiting
Exercise training to improve walking and daily activities in COPD
This trial studies whether doing a combination of endurance exercises can help people with COPD walk better and do everyday activities with less limitation. It compares an exercise approach aimed at improving walking function and daily movement.
Lumezzane, BresciaAges Any age - NCT05717192Recruiting
Bronchoscopy treatment to shrink severe emphysema using heat
This trial studies a bronchoscopy procedure that uses heat (thermoablation) to reduce over-inflated lung tissue in people with severe emphysema. If you qualify, it aims to improve breathing and walking ability after trying standard treatments first.
BerlinAges 40–75 - NCT05720780Recruiting
Music-based rehab training for people with COPD and low oxygen
This trial studies whether combining music with exercise training can improve breathing ability and exercise tolerance in people with COPD and chronic low oxygen. It also looks at whether the program is safe for people who are stable on long-term oxygen.
Telese Terme, BeneventoAges 40–85 - NCT05724745Recruiting
3D lung breathing test during MRI versus standard spirometry
This study compares a new 3D MRI-based breathing test with the usual breathing test called spirometry. It may help doctors measure lung function more precisely in healthy people and in people with asthma, COPD, or after a double lung transplant.
Orsay, FranceAges 18–90 - NCT05799664Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment for COPD using a breathing tube
This trial tests whether a special radiofrequency treatment delivered through a bronchoscope (a thin camera tube) is safe and works better than standard care for people with COPD. It focuses on people with moderate-to-severe COPD symptoms who can follow study visits and tests.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 40–75 - NCT05938738Recruiting
PEP buddy device for COPD breathing trouble
This trial studies whether using a handheld breathing device (called a PEP buddy) helps people with COPD feel less short of breath. It also looks at how the device may work to improve breathing during daily activities.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 40 years+ - NCT05962164Recruiting
Passive heat therapy for COPD in non-smokers
This study tests whether using passive heat (warming therapy, not exercise) can improve breathing and body comfort in people with COPD who are not currently flaring up. It may help by seeing if heat changes how well you tolerate breathing and physical activity during testing.
Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges 40 years+ - NCT06152107Recruiting
BTVA Treatment for Severe Emphysema Study
This study tests a new bronchoscopic treatment called BTVA for people with severe emphysema. It uses heat to shrink damaged parts of the lung to improve breathing.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06168266Recruiting
Eccentric exercise training for COPD patients
This study tests a special type of exercise (eccentric training) for people with COPD. The goal is to see if it can improve your breathing and daily function.
New Taipei CityAges 20–80 - NCT06201299Recruiting
Chair-based vs standard exercise for COPD
This clinical trial compares a chair-based exercise program with a standard exercise program for people with COPD. If you have COPD and get short of breath with activity, this study may help you find an exercise routine that works for you.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 18–75 - NCT06286072Recruiting
Can education and reminders help with COPD fatigue?
This trial tests whether educational materials and text message reminders can help reduce fatigue in people with COPD who have been hospitalized for at least 3 days. It aims to see if these simple tools can improve how you feel day to day.
Kırşehir, CenterAges 18–85 - NCT06331416Recruiting
Home monitoring after COPD flare-up
This trial tests if people with COPD can use a home monitoring system after a flare-up to help doctors track their recovery. It aims to reduce hospital visits and improve care.
TriesteAges 18–90 - NCT06347536RecruitingPhase 3
Support pack after hospital stay for COPD flare-up
This study tests whether giving a 'rescue pack' with medications after leaving the hospital helps people with COPD avoid another flare-up. It is for patients recently discharged after a COPD worsening that required a hospital stay.
BarnsleyAges 40 years+ - NCT06376994RecruitingPhase 3
Clean air study for COPD
This study tests if using air cleaners at home improves lung health in people with COPD. If you qualify, you may get an air cleaner for your home and be followed for 12 months.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40 years+ - NCT06392776Recruiting
Finding untreated asthma or COPD early
This study aims to find people with undiagnosed asthma or COPD by using a simple questionnaire and a breathing test. If you have symptoms like cough or wheeze but no prior diagnosis, you may be able to join and get early treatment.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06471439Recruiting
Single Limb Exercise Training in COPD
This trial tests whether a special exercise training for one limb (like one arm or one leg) can help people with COPD. It aims to find a simple, safe way to improve breathing and strength.
AnkaraAges 40 years+ - NCT06473701RecruitingPhase 3
Dronabinol for COPD-related breathlessness
This trial tests whether a drug called dronabinol (a synthetic form of THC) can help reduce severe shortness of breath in people with advanced COPD who are already receiving the best available treatment. If you have severe COPD and still feel very breathless, this study may offer a new option to improve your breathing.
Vejle, Region SyddanmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT06474039RecruitingPhase 3
COPD treatment: triple vs. double inhaler for air trapping
This trial tests whether adding a third medicine (fluticasone furoate/vilanterol/umeclidinium) to a two-medicine inhaler (vilanterol/umeclidinium) can reduce air trapping and inflammation in the lungs and blood of people with COPD GOLD B. It may help you breathe better and have fewer symptoms.
Bangkoknoi, BKKAges 40–80 - NCT06483490Recruiting
Pollutants and lung health in COPD and lung cancer
This study looks at how environmental pollutants affect people with suspected lung cancer. It may help understand what role pollution plays in lung disease.
NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT06497816Recruiting

- 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.
