Recruiting studies
- NCT06944925RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BBT002 for COPD and Nasal Polyps

Bowling Green, KentuckyAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT06892210RecruitingPhase 4
Steroid comparison for COPD flare-ups
This trial compares two common steroids, hydrocortisone and prednisolone, to see which works better for treating COPD flare-ups. It may help you recover faster from a sudden worsening of your breathing.
Rønne, BornholmAges 40 years+ - NCT06847061Recruiting
Pulmonary rehab for rural COPD patients
This study tests a home-based or remote pulmonary rehabilitation program for people with COPD who live in rural areas. The goal is to help you manage your breathing and stay active, all from home without travel to a medical center.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 40 years+ - NCT06851195Enrolling by invitation
Electrical stimulation for leg strength in COPD
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to your leg muscles can help you feel less breathless and less tired during daily activities, and improve your confidence in exercising. It is for people with stable COPD who are already in a pulmonary rehab program.
Kaohsiung, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT06776731Recruiting
Does extra oxygen during rehab help lung disease patients?
This study tests whether breathing extra oxygen during outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation helps people with COPD. Participants will have their oxygen levels checked during exercise to see if extra oxygen improves their rehab results.
Winterthur, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06756646Recruiting
Aerobic exercise and BFRT for COPD patients
This trial tests if adding a special band (BFRT) to walking or biking can help people with COPD breathe better and get stronger. It may be a good option if you have moderate to very severe COPD and haven't been in a rehab program lately.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 30–85 - NCT06335992Recruiting
Lung tissue repair study for COPD patients through exercise
This trial tests whether a special exercise program can help repair lung tissue in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It aims to find new ways to improve lung health and quality of life.
LundAges 50–85 - NCT06653413Recruiting
Using dynamic chest x-ray to diagnose COPD
This study tests if a new type of chest x-ray (dynamic chest x-ray) can help diagnose COPD. You would breathe normally and deeply while the x-ray takes images for 20 seconds. This could be a more comfortable way to check for COPD compared to standard breathing tests.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 40–80 - 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+ - 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 - NCT06583395Enrolling by invitation
Meditation retreat study with fitness tracker
This trial studies people attending a 7-day meditation retreat to see how meditation affects well-being. You will wear a fitness tracker and answer surveys.
Palm Desert, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06432972Recruiting
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+ - NCT06390345Recruiting
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+ - NCT06366113Recruiting
Morning vs. afternoon exercise for COPD rehab
This study tests whether the time of day you exercise (morning vs. afternoon) affects how much you improve during a COPD rehabilitation program. It may help you get the most benefit from your rehab sessions.
LilleAges 18–85 - NCT06283966RecruitingPhase 3
Triple inhaler for COPD with heart risk
This study tests a triple-combination inhaler (budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol) to see if it can help protect the heart and lungs in people with COPD who also have heart problems or high risk for them.
Athens, AlabamaAges 40–80 - NCT06114667Recruiting
Nasal high flow vs. mask for COPD flare-up
This study compares two types of breathing support for people having a severe COPD flare-up with high carbon dioxide and acidic blood. It tests if a gentle air flow through the nose (nasal high flow) works as well as a mask (non-invasive ventilation) to help you breathe better.
Montpellier, MontepllierAges 18–85 - NCT01177618Recruiting
Study of early-onset severe COPD in younger adults
This study looks at people who develop COPD (a long-term lung breathing problem) at a younger age and have severe airflow limitation. It may help researchers better understand COPD in early-onset patients and find ways to improve care for this group.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - 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 346 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.
