Recruiting studies
- NCT04849806Recruiting
Testing whether heart nerve signals predict COPD symptoms
This study looks at “sympathetic nerve activity” (signals from the nervous system that affect the heart) in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The goal is to see whether these measurements can help predict what happens to people with COPD.
AachenAges 18 years+ - NCT07274631Recruiting
Study of inflammatory lung diseases
This study collects information from people with various inflammatory lung conditions, like asthma or COPD, to better understand them and improve treatment. Healthy volunteers are also needed for comparison.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - 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
Exercise training before lung surgery for COPD
This trial tests if high-intensity interval training before lung volume reduction surgery can improve lung function in people with COPD. It may help you get stronger for surgery and recover better afterward.
CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT07783971Recruiting
Lung cancer microbiome study
This study looks at the bacteria and other microbes in lung cancer tissue to understand how they might affect the disease. It may help find new ways to treat or manage non-small cell lung cancer.
Chongqing, Liangjiang NewAges 30–80 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–80 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07867184Enrolling by invitation
Firefighter lung health study
This study looks at how firefighting affects your lungs over time. By tracking your health and exposures, researchers hope to find ways to prevent lung problems in firefighters.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT07875049Recruiting
Breathing exercises for COPD patients after heart bypass surgery
This trial tests whether adding a device called a Flutter to standard chest physical therapy can improve your breathing and lung function after heart bypass surgery. It may help you recover better if you have mild to moderate COPD.
RawalpindiAges 40–70 - NCT04200079Recruiting
Long-term follow-up study for people with COPD
This study follows people with COPD over time to better understand their lung health and how it changes. It may help researchers and doctors learn what factors affect breathing and long-term outcomes.
Kingston, OntarioAges 40–85 - 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+ - NCT07428785Recruiting
Measuring lung and blood volume in COPD
This study looks at how COPD affects the amount of air your lungs can hold and the total blood in your body. The goal is to better understand the disease, which may help improve future treatments.
