Recruiting studies
- NCT07300696Recruiting
MRI to track lung disease changes in ILD
This study uses MRI scans to monitor how lung scarring changes over time in people with certain types of interstitial lung disease (ILD), like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The goal is to see if MRI can be a helpful tool for tracking the disease without needing as many CT scans.

Exercise program study for young heart, leukemia, and lung survivors
This study looks at how an exercise program affects fitness and lung function in young people who are survivors of certain conditions (heart transplant, leukemia, or lung disease from prematurity). The goal is to see whether exercise can improve breathing and overall physical function safely.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 8–25 - NCT06611527Recruiting
Breathing therapy to improve lung function after heart surgery
This study tests a breathing treatment using mild air pressure after heart surgery to help your lungs work better and reduce complications. It may be an option for people at higher risk for lung problems or those with early breathing issues after surgery.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07261293Recruiting
Blood flow restriction exercise for COPD patients
This study tests whether adding mild blood flow restriction to aerobic exercise can improve lung function, exercise capacity, and inflammation in people with stable COPD. You would exercise on a bike or treadmill while wearing soft cuffs on your legs to lightly restrict blood flow.
IstanbulAges 40–80 - NCT06077019Recruiting
How lung function affects exercise in fit adults
This study looks at how your lung function may limit your exercise capacity, even if you are very active. If you are a healthy, highly fit adult aged 18-39, you may be able to help researchers better understand this connection.
CopenhagenAges 18–39 - NCT06286891Recruiting
Frailty and lung function after pulmonary endarterectomy
This study looks at how frailty, physical ability, and lung function change in people who have had surgery to remove blood clots from the lungs (pulmonary endarterectomy). It aims to help doctors better understand recovery after this procedure.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06359106RecruitingPhase 4
Oxygen levels and lung health in older surgical patients
This trial tests whether a lower or higher oxygen concentration during surgery can help protect lung function in older adults. It focuses on people 65 and older having laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 65 years+ - NCT07737093Recruiting
Comparing two breathing devices after lung surgery
This trial compares two handheld devices (Acapella and Flutter) to see which works better at helping you clear mucus and improve your breathing after lung lobe removal surgery.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 35–54 - NCT07419555Recruiting
Belgian study on lung function over time
This study tracks lung function over time in people with chronic lung disease. It helps doctors understand how lung health changes and may improve future care.
EdegemAges 18 years+ - NCT07236580Recruiting
Breathing exercises for teens with ear problems and smoke exposure
This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help teenagers with a blocked eustachian tube (the tube that connects the ear to the throat) whose parents smoke. It aims to improve ear and lung function.
Giza, DokkiAges 13–17 - NCT07036523RecruitingPhase 2
Study of BI 765423 for people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
This trial tests a new medicine, BI 765423, to see if it can improve lung function in people with IPF, a lung scarring disease. You can join whether or not you are already taking standard treatments like nintedanib or pirfenidone.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40 years+ - NCT05103670Recruiting
PET/CT lung scan to assess recovery after pulmonary embolism
This study uses a special scan (PET/CT) and an inhaled/linked tracer to measure how well air and blood flow work in different lung areas after a pulmonary embolism. It’s meant to better understand regional lung function and how rehabilitation may help some people recover.
BrestAges 18–99 - NCT05427136Recruiting
Study early lung problems after childhood cancer treatment
This study looks for early lung (breathing) problems in children after certain cancer treatments, using lung tests and sometimes MRI scans. It may help doctors spot breathing complications earlier and guide better care.
BaselAges 4–22 - NCT05473520RecruitingPhase 3
Doxycycline add-on therapy for lung improvement in tuberculosis
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding doxycycline to standard TB medicine can improve lung function and reduce lung tissue damage. It aims to see if patients recover better by targeting the lung response to TB.
Kota Kinabalu, SabahAges 21 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.
Aachen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05937334Recruiting
Long-term study of asthma in adults in China
This study follows adults with asthma over about 2 years to learn more about asthma and how people do over time. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to join regular visits and follow the study plan.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06104774Recruiting
Family tai chi after lung surgery for better breathing
This study tests if doing tai chi with your family can help your lungs work better and improve your mood after a thoracoscopic lung surgery. You would practice tai chi exercises and the researchers will check your breathing and mental health.
Taichung, North Dist.Ages 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 - NCT06286085Recruiting
Comparing asthma tests in Portsmouth
This study looks at different ways to test for asthma. It uses data from patients who have already been evaluated at the Portsmouth asthma service, to see which tests work best for diagnosing asthma.
PortsmouthAges 18 years+ - NCT06425562Recruiting
A new breathing test for asthma monitoring
This study tests a new way of measuring lung function (called impulse oscillometry) during routine asthma check-ups. It looks at whether this helps doctors decide when to change asthma medicines.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06494254Recruiting
Predicting lung function after lung cancer surgery
This study looks at how well your lungs work after surgery for lung cancer. It uses special scans and breathing tests to help doctors better predict your recovery.
Saint Leonards, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06537362Recruiting
Comparing a new mouthpiece for breathing tests
This study tests a new mouthpiece with built-in cheek support during a standard breathing test called oscillometry. It may be more comfortable and easier to use than having someone hold your cheeks manually.
BergamoAges 5–75 - NCT06554353Recruiting
Breathing and exercise tests for shortness of breath
This study looks at how well two breathing tests work for people who have shortness of breath. You will do a breathing test and an exercise test to help doctors better understand your symptoms.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 103 recruiting lung function 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 lung function 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 lung function 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.
