Recruiting studies
- NCT03492762RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan study of lung inflammation in never or current smokers
This early research study uses special PET scans to look at lung inflammation linked to a target called CCR2. It may help researchers understand inflammation biology and future treatments, using scan results instead of an investigational drug.
St Louis, MissouriAges 21 years+ - NCT06943989Enrolling by invitation
Breathing ozone vs. clean air at rest
This study tests how resting healthy adults respond to breathing low levels of ozone (a common air pollutant) compared to clean air. Researchers will measure lung function and signs of inflammation in your blood or breath.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–35 - NCT06399302Recruiting
Improving outcomes for lung transplant patients
This study looks at ways to improve outcomes for people who are waiting for or have recently received a lung transplant. It aims to find better management strategies for both donors and recipients.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07026110Recruiting
PET/CT for distinguishing non-small cell lung cancer
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to better tell if a lung nodule is non-small cell lung cancer. If you have a solid nodule in your lung that's at least 8 mm and might be cancer, this scan could help get a clearer diagnosis.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT05854563Recruiting
Study using collected cough samples to learn about lung disease
This trial looks at “cough capture” samples to better understand what is happening in the lungs. You might be eligible if you’re having a bronchoscopy for medical reasons and don’t already have lung cancer.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 21 years+ - NCT06514729Recruiting
Comparing ventilation methods during lung lobe surgery
This trial tests two different ways of using a breathing machine during surgery to remove a lung lobe. It aims to find which method works better for patients like you.
Zunyi, GuizhouAges 18–75 - NCT02392442Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Study drug-free lung irritation using endotoxin in healthy adults
This trial tests how putting a small amount of endotoxin into a specific part of the lung affects the body. It’s designed for healthy, nonsmoking adults, and may help researchers understand lung and immune responses.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–45 - NCT05773001RecruitingPhase 1
Study of an immune treatment for ozone-related lung inflammation
This early-phase study tests how an immune-targeting treatment affects inflammation in the lungs after ozone exposure. It may help researchers understand—and eventually reduce—lung inflammation triggered by air pollution.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–55 - NCT07116460Recruiting
Air filters for asthma in low-income housing
This study tests whether air filters placed in homes can reduce asthma symptoms in children and teens living in low-income housing in Northern Manhattan and the South Bronx. If you have asthma and are between 7 and 18 years old, you may be able to join.
New York, New YorkAges 7–18 - NCT02777879Recruiting
Study gut-like lung bacteria and inflammation in early COPD
This study looks at the lung’s tiny bacteria (microbiome) and inflammation in people with early COPD who have a smoking history. It compares them with smokers who have normal breathing tests, to better understand what may drive COPD early on.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT07339280Enrolling by invitation
Probiotics for COPD: symptoms, lungs, and inflammation
This study tests whether taking a probiotic can improve symptoms, lung function, and inflammation in people with COPD. It is for adults with stable COPD who have not had a flare-up or treatment change in the last two months.
KarlovacAges 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 - NCT07004868Recruiting
Inflammation & treatment response in lung cancer immunotherapy
This study looks at how inflammation and body changes (like weight loss) affect how well immunotherapy works in lung cancer. If you are starting immunotherapy at the hospital in Tours, your doctors will collect information from your regular care to learn more about your response.
ToursAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06552767Recruiting
Thrombosis and blood vessel inflammation study
This trial aims to learn more about blood clots, inflammation, and blood vessel problems. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and how they affect people.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–100 - NCT07426718Recruiting
Breath test for airway inflammation in lung diseases and healthy people
This study is testing a simple breath test (Inflammacheck device) to see if it can measure airway inflammation in people with various lung conditions, including lung cancer, pneumonia, asthma, and COPD, as well as healthy volunteers. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and monitor respiratory diseases using your breath.
Portsmouth, HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT01536522Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Study of asthma inflammation and diet effects
This early-phase study looks at how asthma-related inflammation works and whether a diet-related approach could help. It may be most relevant if you have confirmed asthma and can follow the study’s diet requirements.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–75

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung inflammation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 17 recruiting lung inflammation 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 inflammation 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 inflammation 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.
