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+ - 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.
GlasgowAges 18 years+ - NCT06376994RecruitingPhase 3
Clean air study for COPD
This study tests if using air cleaners at home improves lung health in people with COPD. If you qualify, you may get an air cleaner for your home and be followed for 12 months.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40 years+ - NCT06377410Recruiting
Ivy extract vs NAC for COPD: Which works better?
This study compares two treatments – a dry powder ivy extract and a common mucus-thinning medicine called NAC – to see which is safer and more effective for people with stable COPD. If you have COPD and are over 40, this trial could help find a better option to manage your symptoms.
Cheras, Kuala LumpurAges 40 years+ - NCT06334575RecruitingPhase 4
COPD treatment study based on eosinophil levels
This trial tests if inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) work better for COPD patients with different eosinophil levels. You must already be taking two long-acting bronchodilators and have stopped smoking for at least 6 months.
MarburgAges 40 years+ - NCT06253013Recruiting
CHARM-COPD program of care after a flare-up
This study tests a program of care called CHARM-COPD for people who recently left the hospital after a COPD flare-up. It offers virtual pulmonary rehab or remote monitoring to help you recover and manage your condition at home.
Toronto, OntarioAges 40 years+ - NCT06188065Recruiting
Eosinopenia and Recovery in Severe COPD Exacerbation
This study is looking at people admitted to the hospital for a severe COPD flare-up. It checks if a low level of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood is linked to how quickly you recover from the flare-up.
North ShieldsAges 35 years+ - NCT05785026Recruiting
Menthol to reduce breathlessness in COPD and healthy adults
This trial tests whether menthol helps with breathlessness (dyspnea) during exercise. You may be asked to do breathing and exercise tests, and to use menthol under study supervision to see if symptoms improve.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT05952999Enrolling by invitation
Studying Hospital-At-Home care done from home
This trial looks at how well a “Hospital at Home” program works when people start from the emergency department or are already in the hospital and can be cared for at home. It may help teams improve care at home for certain medical conditions and situations.
Peoria, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05934565Recruiting
Using mindfulness coaching to help people move more
This trial studies a program that uses mindfulness coaching to help people with chronic lung disease (COPD) and/or heart failure (HF) be more physically active. You may benefit if you can safely start exercising and track your steps using a Fitbit.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT05572632Recruiting
COPD wellness rehab program for safety-net patients
This trial studies a COPD (chronic lung disease) wellness and rehabilitation program for people who get care through the safety-net health system. It may help improve day-to-day outcomes by supporting safer exercise and better COPD management.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40–90 - NCT05743582Recruiting
Studying natural immunity in COPD and in healthy adults
This study looks at how the body’s “innate” (first-line) immune system works in people with COPD compared with healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand COPD inflammation and how immune responses could be targeted in the future.
EdinburghAges 18–77 - NCT05703919RecruitingPhase 4
Compare standard vs targeted oxygen for COPD flare-ups
This trial tests whether giving oxygen in a standard way or a more targeted way helps people who are having a COPD flare-up before they reach the hospital. It may help reduce oxygen-related harms while still treating low oxygen during emergency care.
Aarhus NAges 40 years+ - NCT05437198Recruiting
Breath sample study comparing lung bacteria in and out of COPD
This study looks at the germs in exhaled (breathed-out) air to compare people with COPD to people without COPD. It may help researchers better understand lung differences and what could drive COPD.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for obstructive pulmonary disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 340 recruiting obstructive pulmonary disease 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 obstructive pulmonary disease 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 obstructive pulmonary disease 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.
