Hanoi, HanoiAges 60 years+ - NCT07543601Recruiting
Better COPD care for people evaluated for lung cancer
This trial tests whether people being checked for possible lung cancer can also get improved care for a breathing condition called COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). It focuses on patients whose lung function tests show airflow problems.
VejleAges 18 years+ - NCT07574879RecruitingPhase 1
H. pylori Treatment Effects on COPD Symptoms
This study tests whether treating a stomach bacteria infection (H. pylori) can improve breathing and lung function in people with COPD. Researchers want to see if eliminating this bacteria helps reduce COPD symptoms.
Zagazig, ElsharkiaAges 40 years+ - NCT07576894Recruiting
How the Heart Responds to Exercise in COPD Patients
This study looks at how the right side of your heart responds when you exercise, in people with COPD (a chronic lung condition). The goal is to understand this response better and potentially improve treatments.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 40 years+ - NCT07641309Recruiting
Health Program for Diabetes, Lung, or Heart Disease
This study measures how a health improvement program helps people with type 2 diabetes, chronic lung disease, or heart disease. Researchers will track your health before and after you participate in the program offered by your local municipality.
FrederiksværkAges 18 years+ - NCT07648082Recruiting
Understanding Breathlessness in Lung Disease
This study explores how people experience and perceive breathlessness, whether they have a known lung condition or are healthy. Researchers want to understand breathlessness better to potentially improve how it's managed and treated.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18–100 - NCT07665931Recruiting
Testing Simeox for severe COPD with lung hyperinflation
This trial tests if a device called Simeox can reduce trapped air in the lungs of people with severe COPD. It may help you breathe easier if you have pulmonary hyperinflation.
Codogno, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07363980Enrolling by invitation
Heart CT Study for Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
This study uses a special heart CT scan to look for early signs of heart disease in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help find problems before symptoms start.
AarhusAges 50–75 - NCT07171957Enrolling by invitation
Motor imagery for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
This trial studies whether practicing motor imagery (imagining movements without actually doing them) can help people with COPD improve their breathing and daily function. It may offer a new way to manage symptoms without physical exercise.
KütahyaAges 40–70 - NCT06958042Enrolling by invitation
Lung and bladder health study for COPD patients
This study looks at how common bladder problems are in people with stable COPD. It aims to help doctors better understand and manage these symptoms.
Kütahya, CenterAges 40–65 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05001009Enrolling by invitation
Goals of care conversation support for certain serious illnesses
This study helps primary care clinicians and their patients have structured “goals of care” conversations (about what matters most and care preferences). It may help you get clearer, earlier planning—especially if you have a serious illness and higher risk of hospitalization or death.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03044847Enrolling by invitation
Long-term study of COPD in adults in China
This study follows people with COPD (chronic lung disease) over many years to better understand the condition. It may help doctors learn what factors predict worsening over time.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–75 - NCT04339270RecruitingPhase 4
Testing azithromycin in chronic lung disease with frequent flare-ups
This Phase 4 study tests whether a long course of azithromycin can reduce flare-ups in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have had recent exacerbations. It also looks at mucus properties and how flare-ups happen.
BordeauxAges 40–85 - 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+ - NCT07384897Recruiting
Immune cells in lung cancer and chronic lung disease
This study looks at how immune cells work in lung cancer and chronic lung diseases. It aims to find better ways to treat these conditions by studying immune cells from blood, bone marrow, or lung samples.
BrusselsAges Up to 80 years - NCT02803242Recruiting
Patient research network for people with lung symptoms
This trial enrolls adults to help build a patient-powered research network for chronic lung disease. If you join, you’ll likely be asked to complete surveys or provide information to help researchers learn how symptoms and health outcomes change over time.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07180368Recruiting
Managing multiple medications in older adults
This study looks at how to better manage multiple medications in older adults with long-term health conditions. It aims to improve safety and reduce drug-related problems.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 65 years+ - NCT07274631Recruiting
Study of inflammatory lung diseases
This study collects information from people with various inflammatory lung conditions, like asthma or COPD, to better understand them and improve treatment. Healthy volunteers are also needed for comparison.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT05553223Recruiting
Very small activity doses for COPD symptoms
This study tests whether “micro-doses” of physical activity (short, small amounts) can help people with COPD. It aims to see if these small activity bursts are safe and beneficial for people who have stable COPD.
Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges Any age - NCT06544928Enrolling by invitation
Home monitoring for COPD flare-ups after hospital discharge
This study tests a wearable device that listens to your breathing at home. It may help detect early signs of a COPD flare-up so you can get care sooner. You can join if you have moderate to severe COPD and recently left the hospital for a flare-up.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 40–80 - NCT05399056Recruiting
Peer support and storytelling to help COPD lung rehab
This study aims to improve how well people with COPD can take part in pulmonary rehabilitation by using peer coaching and short storytelling videos. If you recently had a COPD flare and are being referred to lung rehab, this may offer extra support to help you complete the program.

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.
