Ivy extract vs NAC for COPD: Which works better?
This study compares two treatments – a dry powder ivy extract and a common mucus-thinning medicine called NAC – to see which is safer and more effective for people with stable COPD. If you have COPD and are over 40, this trial could help find a better option to manage your symptoms.
Cheras, Kuala LumpurAges 40 years+ - NCT06376994RecruitingPhase 3
Clean air study for COPD

Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40 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 - NCT06334575RecruitingPhase 4
COPD treatment study based on eosinophil levels
This trial tests if inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) work better for COPD patients with different eosinophil levels. You must already be taking two long-acting bronchodilators and have stopped smoking for at least 6 months.
MarburgAges 40 years+ - 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 - NCT06253013Recruiting
CHARM-COPD program of care after a flare-up
This study tests a program of care called CHARM-COPD for people who recently left the hospital after a COPD flare-up. It offers virtual pulmonary rehab or remote monitoring to help you recover and manage your condition at home.
Toronto, OntarioAges 40 years+ - NCT06188065Recruiting
Eosinopenia and Recovery in Severe COPD Exacerbation
This study is looking at people admitted to the hospital for a severe COPD flare-up. It checks if a low level of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood is linked to how quickly you recover from the flare-up.
North ShieldsAges 35 years+ - 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 - NCT06072690Recruiting
COPD and Heart Health Study
This study looks at how COPD affects your breathing and heart health. It is for people who are newly diagnosed with COPD and have a history of smoking.
Kaunas, Kaunas CountyAges 40 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.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT01776398Recruiting
Donating breath, blood, and urine samples for lung research
This study collects airway samples (usually during a bronchoscopy), plus blood and/or urine, to help researchers study lung conditions. It may help advance understanding of lung disease and related biology, but it is not a treatment trial.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05785026Recruiting
Menthol to reduce breathlessness in COPD and healthy adults
This trial tests whether menthol helps with breathlessness (dyspnea) during exercise. You may be asked to do breathing and exercise tests, and to use menthol under study supervision to see if symptoms improve.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT05952999Enrolling by invitation
Studying Hospital-At-Home care done from home
This trial looks at how well a “Hospital at Home” program works when people start from the emergency department or are already in the hospital and can be cared for at home. It may help teams improve care at home for certain medical conditions and situations.
Peoria, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05934565Recruiting
Using mindfulness coaching to help people move more
This trial studies a program that uses mindfulness coaching to help people with chronic lung disease (COPD) and/or heart failure (HF) be more physically active. You may benefit if you can safely start exercising and track your steps using a Fitbit.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT05572632Recruiting
COPD wellness rehab program for safety-net patients
This trial studies a COPD (chronic lung disease) wellness and rehabilitation program for people who get care through the safety-net health system. It may help improve day-to-day outcomes by supporting safer exercise and better COPD management.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40–90 - NCT05743582Recruiting
Studying natural immunity in COPD and in healthy adults
This study looks at how the body’s “innate” (first-line) immune system works in people with COPD compared with healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand COPD inflammation and how immune responses could be targeted in the future.
EdinburghAges 18–77 - NCT05703919RecruitingPhase 4
Compare standard vs targeted oxygen for COPD flare-ups
This trial tests whether giving oxygen in a standard way or a more targeted way helps people who are having a COPD flare-up before they reach the hospital. It may help reduce oxygen-related harms while still treating low oxygen during emergency care.
Aarhus NAges 40 years+ - NCT05704881Recruiting
Using breath CO2 levels to judge COPD flare severity in ER
This study measures an easy breathing signal called end-tidal carbon dioxide (a CO2 reading from your exhaled breath) to help judge how severe a COPD flare is. It may help doctors decide how closely you need monitoring and treatment during emergency care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pulmonary disease, chronic obstructive (copd)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 299 recruiting pulmonary disease, chronic obstructive (copd) 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 pulmonary disease, chronic obstructive (copd) 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 pulmonary disease, chronic obstructive (copd) 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.
