Recruiting studies near Boston
- NCT06891755Recruiting
Lung deflation procedure for severe emphysema
This study tests a bronchoscopic treatment to release trapped air in severely hyperinflated lungs caused by emphysema. It may help you breathe easier if you have advanced COPD and meet specific lung function and imaging criteria.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–84 - NCT04302272Recruiting
Study for people with severe emphysema and limited lung collateral airflow
This registry study follows adults with severe emphysema who have shortness of breath and low natural “backup” airflow between parts of the lung. It may help better understand how a specific FDA-approved treatment works for the right patients over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07119229Recruiting
New implant study for severe emphysema
This trial tests a new implant for people with severe emphysema. It aims to see if the implant can help you breathe easier and walk farther.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 22 years+ - NCT05257681Recruiting
Repairing a lung airspace after failed bronchoscopic treatment
This study looks at a procedure to “complete” a lung fissure in people whose prior bronchoscopic lung volume reduction did not work as well as hoped. It may help reduce persistent shortness of breath, but eligibility depends on your lung test results and overall heart/lung safety.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–75 - NCT04930289Enrolling by invitation
Lung transplant registry for better donor lung preservation
This study builds a worldwide database to track and improve how donor lungs are preserved before transplant. Your information may help doctors choose and manage donor lungs more effectively.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT04801108Recruiting
Lung valve treatment for emphysema with specific lung anatomy
This trial tests a one-way lung valve system to reduce over-inflated lung areas in people with emphysema. It’s aimed at patients whose lung scans suggest they may benefit from “fissure completion” to improve airflow.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–75 - NCT06035120Recruiting
Sealing damaged lung parts in severe emphysema
This trial tests a new treatment called AeriSeal to seal off damaged parts of the lung in people with severe emphysema. It aims to help you breathe better by reducing the amount of air trapped in your lungs.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–80 - NCT06304207Recruiting
Study comparing remote vs in-person exercise for lung disease
This study tests whether a telehealth exercise program works as well as in-person sessions for people with chronic lung disease. You may join if you recently finished rehab for your lung condition and can walk with or without help.

What taking part in a emphysema study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
