Recruiting studies
- NCT06600178RecruitingPhase 1
Heart medication for women with chest pain and small vessel disease
This trial tests a diabetes medication called SGLT2 inhibitors to see if it can improve blood flow to the heart and reduce chest pain in women who have small vessel heart disease (microvascular dysfunction) but not blocked large arteries. Participants will take the medication and be monitored for symptom relief and heart function improvements.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07343375Enrolling by invitation

CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT00001532Recruiting
How Genes Affect Lung Disease Development
This research study examines how genetic factors contribute to various lung diseases, including alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Researchers want to understand why some people develop lung disease and how genetics plays a role, which may help improve treatment in the future.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–90 - NCT07177339RecruitingPhase 3
Testing depemokimab for COPD with type 2 inflammation
This study tests an early treatment called depemokimab for people with moderate to severe COPD who have a type of inflammation linked to high eosinophils. It aims to reduce flare-ups and improve breathing.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - NCT06544928Enrolling by invitation
Home monitoring for COPD flare-ups after hospital discharge
This study tests a wearable device that listens to your breathing at home. It may help detect early signs of a COPD flare-up so you can get care sooner. You can join if you have moderate to severe COPD and recently left the hospital for a flare-up.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 40–80 - 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 - NCT06275230Recruiting
Growing lung stem cells from COPD patients
This trial aims to grow lung stem cells and create mini-lungs (organoids) from the tissue of people with COPD. It may help researchers understand the disease better and develop new treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–55 - NCT06479252Recruiting
Comparing ways to test sit-to-stand in chronic lung disease
This study compares three ways of doing a simple sit-to-stand test for people with chronic lung disease: at the clinic, at home with video supervision, or on your own at home. The goal is to see which option works best and is easiest for patients.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06115395Recruiting
Non-invasive ventilation for bronchoscopy
This trial uses a breathing mask (non-invasive ventilation) to help people who need a bronchoscopy. It aims to make the procedure safer and more comfortable for those with breathing problems.
Al MansurahAges 18–70 - NCT07484243Recruiting
Chinese and Western medicine for rheumatoid arthritis
This study combines traditional Chinese medicine with Western medicine to treat rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to see how well this approach works for people with hard-to-treat RA or RA-related lung disease.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05943535RecruitingPhase 3
Breathing treprostinil to slow progressive lung scarring
This Phase 3 trial tests whether inhaled treprostinil can slow progression of lung fibrosis (scarring) that keeps getting worse despite standard care. It also looks at safety, because inhaled medicine can cause side effects and needs careful monitoring.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05926713Recruiting
Diet supplement plus exercise for muscle loss with lung disease
This trial studies whether adding a dietary supplement to exercise can improve muscle strength in people with muscle loss (sarcopenia) who also have lung disease such as COPD or ILD. It may help you build strength and function without needing urgent hospital care.
TaichungAges Any age - NCT06280443Recruiting
Frailty and muscle loss in chronic lung disease
This study looks at people with COPD or ILD who also show signs of frailty. It aims to understand how frailty and muscle loss (sarcopenia) affect their care and use of medical resources over time.
TaichungAges 20 years+ - NCT07285655RecruitingPhase 3
Study of L606 for lung disease with high blood pressure in the lungs
This trial tests a new treatment called L606 for people who have both a type of lung disease (ILD) and high blood pressure in the lungs (PH). The goal is to see if it is safe and helps with exercise and breathing.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT07707245Recruiting
Finding biomarkers in lung disease and lung cancer
This trial studies blood and tissue samples from people with COPD, IPF, or lung cancer to find markers that can help diagnose and predict these conditions. It aims to discover why some lung diseases progress to cancer.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06974981Recruiting
Using lung cancer screening to find and treat COPD
This study looks at how lung cancer screening can also help find and manage COPD, a lung condition that often goes undetected. If you are a current or former smoker and meet certain age and smoking history criteria, you may join to help improve screening and care for both lung cancer and COPD.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 50–80 - NCT06933758Recruiting
Temple Health Chest Lung Screening Study
This study looks at how a hospital program can help people who are at risk for lung cancer get the proper screening and follow-up care. You may be eligible if you are a Temple patient and have had a low-dose CT scan for lung cancer screening.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 50–80 - NCT06735573Enrolling by invitation
Protein, muscle loss, obesity, and COPD study
This study tests whether a protein intervention can help women over 55 with COPD who also have muscle loss and obesity. It aims to improve their strength and health.
Aberdeen, ScotlandAges 55 years+ - NCT07751705Recruiting
Sputum collection with a chest vibration device for COPD
This study tests whether a chest vibration device helps people with COPD produce sputum (phlegm) more easily during a breathing test. It may help researchers collect better samples to understand and treat COPD.
Hanover, Lower SaxonyAges 40–70 - NCT07684820RecruitingPhase 2
A study of ExPD-101 for COPD with chronic bronchitis and frequent flare-ups
This study tests an experimental drug (ExPD-101) given daily as a pill for 52 weeks for people with COPD who have chronic bronchitis and frequent flare-ups. It compares the drug to a placebo (inactive pill) to see if it reduces flare-ups and improves symptoms.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 40–85 - NCT06419062Enrolling by invitation
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+ - NCT04018729RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Cell treatment through a breathing tube for severe emphysema
This trial tests a cell-based treatment placed into the lung using an airway valve, to help people with severe emphysema breathe easier. You may be eligible if your emphysema is uneven in the lungs and testing suggests your “collateral ventilation” is low, meaning the treatment area may benefit more from blocking airflow.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT06419036Enrolling by invitation
Using medical devices to monitor COPD at home
This study tests whether wearable medical devices can help monitor your COPD symptoms at home. You will use a smartphone app and a small chest patch to track your breathing, which may help you and your doctor better manage your condition.

Comparing two breathing exercises for COPD symptoms
This study compares two breathing exercise methods (DITM vs IMT) for people with COPD to see which helps improve symptoms and quality of life better. It's for people who are already using a specific type of inhaler.
