Study links health records and samples to understand health gaps
This study asks people affected by a specific illness (or their family member) to share saliva (and sometimes blood) and answer health and quality-of-life questions. The goal is to better understand and reduce health inequality by matching new information with medical records.
Wolverhampton, West MidlandsAges 6 years+ - NCT07082738RecruitingPhase 2
Study of AZD6793 for people with moderate to very severe COPD
This trial tests a new drug called AZD6793 for people with moderate to very severe COPD. It aims to see if the drug can help improve breathing and reduce flare-ups.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40 years+ - NCT04179981Recruiting
CPAP treatment effects in older COPD and sleep apnea patients
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
Detroit, MichiganAges 60 years+ - NCT04236726Recruiting
Quality of life study for people with chronic breathing failure
This study looks at how chronic respiratory failure affects day-to-day quality of life. It enrolls people who use breathing support at home or in care, and may help clinicians understand what support works best for patients’ daily living.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT04252781Recruiting
Study for people with new or suspected COPD risk
This study follows people who currently smoke and people who may have newly found COPD (chronic obstructive lung disease) based on breathing test results. It aims to better understand lung disease in real life and what it means for health over time.
Créteil, Île-de-France RegionAges 35 years+ - NCT04375280Recruiting
Study of mobility problems in people with long-term illnesses
This study observes how people with chronic health conditions affect their ability to move and do everyday activities. It may help researchers better understand mobility limits and what factors influence them.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18–90 - NCT04427826RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Morphine to prevent early NIV failure in COPD flare-ups
This trial studies whether morphine can help people with a COPD flare-up avoid “non-invasive ventilation” (breathing support through a mask) failing early. The goal is to reduce how often people need escalation of care soon after starting NIV.
Grenoble, Isère, Auvergne-Rhône-AlpesAges 18 years+ - NCT07699614Recruiting
Lung health and germs in adults in Botswana
This study looks at how the lungs and tiny organisms in the body (microbiome) work together in adults living in Botswana. It may help doctors understand how to keep lungs healthier, especially for people with or without HIV.
GaboroneAges 35 years+ - NCT04986332Recruiting
Program for COPD or heart failure in people with other illnesses
This trial studies a detailed, whole-body program to improve outcomes in people with COPD or heart failure, especially those who also have several other chronic conditions. It may help by improving activity and monitoring health markers over about 24 weeks.
PalermoAges 45–75 - NCT05025774Recruiting
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 - NCT05147688RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of donor stem cell treatment for lung disease
This early study tests whether donor stem cells made from umbilical cord tissue are safe in people with lung diseases. If you qualify, you may be offered the study treatment while the team closely checks for side effects and safety.
St John'sAges Any age - NCT05227547Recruiting
Study of lung cell changes in smokers and lung disease
This study looks at specific lung cells (called alveolar cells) to understand how smoking and chronic lung disease may change them. You may be invited if you are having lung surgery and can safely take part.
CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT05237505RecruitingPhase 2
Sleep apnea plus COPD study to check heart and breathing effects
This Phase 2 study looks at the cardiovascular (heart/blood vessel) effects of having both sleep apnea and COPD. It may help doctors better understand who is at risk and how to manage these breathing problems together.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 40–79 - NCT05746039RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing semaglutide for advanced lung disease
This study checks whether semaglutide is safe and feasible for people with advanced lung diseases and higher body weight. It may help by testing a structured treatment approach, but it includes several health and safety limits.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT05844462RecruitingPhase 3
Tadalafil for severe lung blood-pressure problems from COPD
This study tests whether tadalafil can improve outcomes for people with severe pulmonary hypertension caused by COPD (chronic lung disease). It compares how you do with tadalafil versus standard care, focusing on breathing symptoms and how well your heart and lungs cope.
Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, FranceAges 18–85 - NCT05896579Recruiting
Study heart function during rest and exercise in COPD
This study measures how well the right side of your heart works when you are resting and when you exercise, in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It may help researchers better understand COPD-related heart strain and guide future care.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 40 years+ - NCT05896800Recruiting
Inhaled nitric oxide for moderate to severe COPD symptoms
This study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide gas can improve outcomes in people with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It may help reduce breathing problems by targeting how airways and blood vessels respond in the lungs.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 40–75 - NCT05937854RecruitingPhase 2
Tadalafil to help breathing in COPD with pulmonary hypertension
This Phase 2 study tests whether tadalafil can improve breathlessness in people with COPD and pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). It may help you breathe more easily if your symptoms are driven by this specific lung circulation problem.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 35–89 - NCT05939999Recruiting
Elastic tape plus rehab for COPD breathing problems
This trial studies whether using elastic tape during pulmonary rehabilitation can improve breathing and physical function in people with moderate to very severe COPD. It may help you tolerate rehab exercises more comfortably if you meet their specific health and safety requirements.
São Paulo, São PauloAges Any age - NCT05989698Recruiting
Validating a wearable cough monitor (C-mo)
This study tests a wearable device (C-mo) that monitors coughing. It is for people of all ages who are currently coughing and can cooperate with wearing a small sensor on their belly for a short time.
AlfenaAges 2 years+ - NCT06046547Recruiting
Palliative care learning for lung rehab patients
This trial tests adding palliative care education to pulmonary rehabilitation for people with COPD or ILD and their caregivers. It aims to see if this helps improve symptom management and quality of life.
AveiroAges 18 years+ - NCT06068647Recruiting
Ultrasound and breathing tests for lung disease patients
This study uses ultrasound and sensors to monitor lung health in people with certain lung conditions, including those that cause scarring or breathing problems. It aims to find better ways to track lung disease, which could help manage your condition more effectively.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for obstructive pulmonary disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 333 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.
