Melbourne, VictoriaAges 39–69 - 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+ - NCT07312305Recruiting
Small airways test in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
This study measures how well the small airways in your lungs work if you have idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It aims to find better ways to assess the disease and could lead to improved care.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07267117Recruiting
Heart valve disease progression and outcomes study
This study is following people with heart valve disease (leaky or narrowed valves) to understand how the disease changes over time and what problems it may cause. It does not test a new treatment, but helps doctors learn more about valve disease progression.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 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 - 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 - NCT04797286RecruitingPhase 2
Sildenafil for early lung blood-pressure problems in scleroderma
This trial tests whether sildenafil can improve early “high pressure in the lung blood vessels” in people with scleroderma. It may help slow worsening breathing and lung blood-vessel disease before it becomes severe.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 18 years+ - NCT00470327Recruiting
Study of how interstitial lung disease naturally changes
This study looks at how interstitial lung disease (lung scarring) typically progresses over time. It may help researchers understand what to expect and what changes to watch for.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06771687Recruiting
High-intensity interval training for heart conduit patients
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can improve heart function and fitness in people who have a surgical tube (conduit) connecting their right ventricle to their pulmonary artery. It aims to find a safe and effective exercise program for those with this type of congenital heart condition.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 12–45 - NCT05521789RecruitingPhase 4
Erector spinae block for thoracic surgery pain relief
This trial tests a specific pain-block injection (called an erector spinae block) to help with pain during thoracic surgery that removes part of the lung. You might benefit from better pain control and possibly fewer pain medicines, depending on what the study finds.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–90 - NCT07613099RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new PET scan to detect lung and heart scarring
This study tests a new imaging scan (called 18F-FAPI PET/CT) that may help detect scarring in the lungs, heart, or blood vessels. If you have a heart, lung, or blood vessel condition that could cause scarring, this scan might show damage earlier and help doctors plan better treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05843500Recruiting
CTEPD and CTEPH registry for long-term blood-clot lung disease
This study builds a registry to learn about people with chronic blood-clot lung disease (CTEPD/CTEPH) and what symptoms and test results look like over time. It may help clinicians better understand the condition and improve future care, since your participation supports data collection rather than a new drug.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07816185RecruitingPhase 3
Inhaled study drug for pulmonary hypertension with lung scarring
This study tests an inhaled medication called mosliciguat for people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) caused by certain types of lung scarring. It may help improve your ability to exercise and manage symptoms.
Kissimmee, FloridaAges 18–85 - NCT05391737Recruiting
Study of fluid in the lungs after open-water swimming
This study looks at what happens in the lungs after open-water swimming. It may help doctors better understand and recognize “swimming-induced lung fluid,” especially by using lung ultrasound when symptoms happen.
FalunAges 18 years+ - NCT05227222Recruiting
Device treatment for lung swelling after swimming
This trial tests a specific device to treat a lung condition called swimming-induced pulmonary edema, where fluid collects in the lungs after swimming. It may help people who need quick, acute treatment to get breathing better.
FalunAges 18 years+ - NCT06573723Recruiting
Rare disease registry at Hospital Italiano
This study collects information from patients with certain rare diseases to better understand them. If you have one of these conditions and receive care at Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, you may be able to join.
Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges Any age - NCT07476703Recruiting
Extended study on the SCAPIS Stockholm reexamined group
This trial studies data and samples from people already taking part in the main SCAPIS reexamination study in Stockholm. It looks for new findings to help understand heart and lung health.
StockholmAges 56–74 - NCT04095351Recruiting
Study of connective tissue disease affecting the lungs
This study looks at people aged 18 and older who have a connective tissue disease and lung involvement. It aims to better understand how these lung problems progress and may help doctors choose better care.
InnsbruckAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT07177339RecruitingPhase 3
Testing depemokimab for COPD with type 2 inflammation
This study tests an early treatment called depemokimab for people with moderate to severe COPD who have a type of inflammation linked to high eosinophils. It aims to reduce flare-ups and improve breathing.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - 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+ - NCT05820776Recruiting
Tele-rehabilitation for stable breathing problems
This observational study looks at how tele-rehabilitation affects people with stable chronic breathing problems, especially if breathing limits their activity. It may help your care team understand what kinds of support work best when symptoms are steady.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pulmonary disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 551 recruiting 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 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 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.
