Telehealth lifestyle and exercise for COPD and sleep apnea
This study tests a telehealth program that combines lifestyle coaching and exercise to help people with both COPD and sleep apnea improve their breathing and daily function. It may be a good fit if you are overweight, have a history of smoking, and feel short of breath during light activity.
Boise, IdahoAges 18 years+ - NCT06401512Recruiting
Digital follow-up for COPD patients in primary care
This trial tests a digital follow-up program for people with COPD who live at home. It aims to help manage your condition with remote support from your healthcare team.

Pre-surgery exercise and smoking cessation program for lung cancer
This trial tests a short, intensive exercise program (pulmonary rehab) before lung cancer surgery. It also helps people quit smoking during the program. The goal is to see if this approach improves recovery after surgery.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT06447831Recruiting
Home exercise tests for lung disease
This study tests how well people with chronic lung disease can do exercise tests at home, either with a researcher watching remotely or by themselves. The goal is to see if home-based tests are as reliable as clinic-based ones.
QuébecAges 40 years+ - NCT06480435Recruiting
Chest physiotherapy and lung squeezing for men with COPD
This study explores whether a chest physiotherapy technique (called lung squeezing) can help men with moderate-to-severe COPD breathe more easily. Participants will receive the therapy and be monitored for improvements.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT06480422Recruiting
Breathing exercises for moderate COPD
This study tests two breathing exercises—autogenic drainage and segmental breathing—to see if they help people with moderate COPD breathe easier. It may help you clear mucus and improve your lung function.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT06491043RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cells for COPD: safety and early effectiveness study
This trial tests whether an infusion of donor stem cells can help people with moderate to severe COPD breathe easier. If you are a current or former smoker aged 40 to 80, your symptoms are stable, and your lung function meets specific targets, you may be able to join.
New Taipei CityAges 40–80 - NCT06518473Recruiting
Allergies and COPD Flare-Up Risk Study
This study looks at how allergies (called atopy) might affect how often people with COPD have flare-ups (exacerbations). It helps doctors understand if allergies play a role in COPD symptoms.
Al MansurahAges 40–70 - NCT06524856Recruiting
Breathing exercise to increase lung capacity
This study tests a simple breathing device called the Lung Master to see if it can increase lung capacity. You will use it at home for a short time each day, and the researchers will track your progress.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT06563544Recruiting
Two ventilator settings for asthma and COPD patients
This study compares two different ways of delivering breaths from a ventilator for people with severe asthma or COPD. The goal is to see which method might be better for your lungs.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18–100 - NCT06579872Recruiting
Heart-Lung Function and Foot Pressure in COPD
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work together (cardiopulmonary function) and how you put pressure on your feet while walking (plantar pressure) in people with COPD. It may help design better rehabilitation programs.
New Taipei CityAges 45–65 - NCT06595784Recruiting
COPD and heart disease study
This study looks at people who have both COPD (a long-term lung condition) and a heart problem. The goal is to learn more about how these two conditions affect each other and to help doctors provide better care.
AlexandroupoliAges 35–99 - NCT06603246RecruitingPhase 1
Study of inhaled GDC-6988 for mucus lung diseases
This study tests an inhaled medicine (GDC-6988) to see if it is safe and helps clear mucus from the lungs in people with mucus-related lung diseases like chronic bronchitis, COPD, or bronchiectasis. You may qualify if your lung function is fairly stable and you produce daily mucus.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06615492Recruiting
Lung transplant study: comparing two ECMO methods
This study compares two ways of using a heart-lung machine (ECMO) during lung transplant surgery. The goal is to see if using ECMO only when needed works as well as using it for everyone. This could help reduce risks and improve recovery.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06629675Recruiting
Personalized music to boost walking in COPD
This study tests whether a personalized music program can help people with COPD walk more and feel better. The music changes based on your walking speed to keep you motivated during a pulmonary rehab program.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18 years+ - NCT06655428Recruiting
A new treatment for severe emphysema using heat and liquid
This trial tests a procedure called Endobronchial Thermal Liquid Ablation (ETLA) that uses heated liquid to treat severe emphysema. It is for people with COPD who have very low lung function and shortness of breath, and who have not been able to get relief from other treatments.
Vienna, AustriaAges 40 years+ - NCT07474220Recruiting
Study of SLC25A48 in COPD
This study measures a protein called SLC25A48 in people with COPD (a lung condition that makes breathing hard) and in healthy people to learn if it plays a role in the disease.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for obstructive pulmonary disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 332 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.
