Recruiting studies
- NCT07878884Recruiting
Light therapy with lung rehab for severe COPD
This trial tests whether adding light therapy to a standard exercise program helps people with severe COPD breathe better and do more in their daily lives. It might be especially helpful if you have advanced COPD and can still walk.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18–90 - 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.
Naples, FloridaAges Any age - NCT07587658RecruitingPhase 4
Dupilumab after a severe COPD flare-up
This study tests whether adding the drug dupilumab to usual hospital care for a severe COPD flare-up helps patients recover better than usual care alone. It is for adults with a specific type of inflammation in their blood, and may reduce the chance of future flare-ups.
Mullica Hill, New JerseyAges 40 years+ - NCT06634810Recruiting
Home-based coaching for COPD self-management
This study tests a home-based coaching program called SAMBA-COPD to help people with COPD manage their symptoms and stick with their medications. You'll work with a coach who will support you in building skills to feel better and have fewer flare-ups.
New York, New YorkAges 40 years+ - NCT07867184Enrolling by invitation
Firefighter lung health study
This study looks at how firefighting affects your lungs over time. By tracking your health and exposures, researchers hope to find ways to prevent lung problems in firefighters.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT07875036Recruiting
Breathing exercises for COPD-related shortness of breath
This study compares two types of breathing exercises to see which one works better for reducing shortness of breath and improving lung function in people with mild to moderate COPD.
RawalpindiAges 40–75 - NCT07875049Recruiting
Breathing exercises for COPD patients after heart bypass surgery
This trial tests whether adding a device called a Flutter to standard chest physical therapy can improve your breathing and lung function after heart bypass surgery. It may help you recover better if you have mild to moderate COPD.
RawalpindiAges 40–70 - NCT07701096Enrolling by invitation
Home breathing support monitoring for advanced COPD
This study tests a home monitoring system that watches how well noninvasive breathing support (a mask that helps you breathe) works for people with severe COPD. The system sends early warnings to your care team if your breathing patterns change, which may help prevent flare-ups.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07612878Recruiting
Registry tracking COPD patients starting dupilumab treatment
This is a registry—an observational study tracking patients with COPD (chronic lung disease) who are newly starting a medication called dupilumab. Researchers will follow your health outcomes to learn how well this treatment works in real-world practice.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 40 years+ - NCT07253883Recruiting
New breathing device test for asthma and COPD
This trial is testing a new breathing device that may be as accurate as standard tests for diagnosing asthma and COPD. It could offer a simpler and quicker way to check your lung health.
Liverpool, MerseysideAges 18–110 - NCT02527486Recruiting
Airways registry study for people with COPD symptoms
This registry collects information from people with COPD (and sometimes overlapping asthma-COPD features) to better understand breathing problems and airways behavior. It may help researchers learn which patterns match different symptom types, without necessarily using a new drug.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 20–90 - NCT03120481Recruiting
Check how respiratory health changes in people without lung problems
This trial enrolls adults who recently had a chest X-ray as part of routine health screening and did not show major abnormal findings, and who do not have significant breathing symptoms. It may help researchers understand changes in respiratory health over time and improve how respiratory disease risk is monitored.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19–90 - NCT03331302RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested lung imaging scans in stable COPD patients
This study compares two ways of seeing how well your lungs work: a special MRI scan and another scan that uses a different gas. It may help researchers find which imaging test best reflects lung function in people with COPD.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04200079Recruiting
Long-term follow-up study for people with COPD
This study follows people with COPD over time to better understand their lung health and how it changes. It may help researchers and doctors learn what factors affect breathing and long-term outcomes.
Kingston, OntarioAges 40–85 - 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+ - NCT02755974Recruiting
Study of COPD flare-ups in adults with reduced lung function
This study follows people with COPD flare-ups (sudden worsening of breathing) to better understand what happens and what might help. You may be asked for consent and lung-function tests if you meet the breathing and age requirements.
LondonAges 40–100 - NCT04018729RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Cell treatment through a breathing tube for severe emphysema
This trial tests a cell-based treatment placed into the lung using an airway valve, to help people with severe emphysema breathe easier. You may be eligible if your emphysema is uneven in the lungs and testing suggests your “collateral ventilation” is low, meaning the treatment area may benefit more from blocking airflow.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT03014609Recruiting
Testing cardiovascular risk in people with COPD
This trial studies cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) risk in people who have stable COPD or a recent worsening of COPD. It may help researchers understand which risks to monitor during and after a COPD flare and how to prevent complications.
Grenoble, La TroncheAges 18–85 - NCT05306743Recruiting
Quality program for high-risk COPD, tested with primary care teams
This study looks at how well a quality-improvement program (called CONQUEST) helps people with higher-risk chronic lung disease (COPD) when delivered through primary care teams. It compares the program given right away versus usual care for a while, then the program later.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06163131Recruiting
How endobronchial valves affect diaphragm movement in emphysema
This trial measures how well your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves after you get endobronchial valves (tiny one-way valves in your airways) for emphysema. It helps doctors see if the valves improve your breathing muscle function.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07428785Recruiting
Measuring lung and blood volume in COPD
This study looks at how COPD affects the amount of air your lungs can hold and the total blood in your body. The goal is to better understand the disease, which may help improve future treatments.
CopenhagenAges 45–80 - NCT07854210Recruiting
High-flow nasal oxygen versus non-invasive ventilation for COPD
This trial compares two breathing support methods for people hospitalized with COPD and mild-to-moderate carbon dioxide retention. It aims to see if high-flow nasal oxygen is as effective as the standard mask-based ventilation.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 40 years+ - NCT06198309Recruiting
Predicting worsening COPD in severe patients
This study builds a tool to predict which COPD patients are likely to have worsening symptoms. It may help your doctor better manage your care if you have severe COPD.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–85 - NCT07860008Recruiting
Breathing and step exercises for COPD wellness
This study tests a program combining breathing training with step exercises to see if it improves breathing, exercise ability, and quality of life in people with COPD. You may join if you have COPD and are able to do light exercise and fill out questionnaires.
