Recruiting studies
- NCT07261293Recruiting
Blood flow restriction exercise for COPD patients
This study tests whether adding mild blood flow restriction to aerobic exercise can improve lung function, exercise capacity, and inflammation in people with stable COPD. You would exercise on a bike or treadmill while wearing soft cuffs on your legs to lightly restrict blood flow.
IstanbulAges 40–80 - NCT03630211RecruitingPhase 2
Study of stem cell transplant for systemic sclerosis in youth
This Phase 2 study tests whether an “autologous” stem cell transplant—using your own stem cells—can reduce systemic sclerosis disease activity. It is mainly for children, teens, and young adults whose disease did not improve despite standard medicines.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 8–60 - 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 - NCT07466745Recruiting
New Pulmonary Valve Study for Kids Needing Replacement
This study tests a new type of replacement valve for children who need a new pulmonary valve (the valve between the heart and lungs). Researchers want to see if the valve works safely and well in real-world use.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1.5 years–16 years - NCT07684820RecruitingPhase 2
A study of ExPD-101 for COPD with chronic bronchitis and frequent flare-ups
This study tests an experimental drug (ExPD-101) given daily as a pill for 52 weeks for people with COPD who have chronic bronchitis and frequent flare-ups. It compares the drug to a placebo (inactive pill) to see if it reduces flare-ups and improves symptoms.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 40–85 - NCT06838442Recruiting
Exercise and airway clearance education for NTM lung disease
This trial studies whether a program of exercise and airway clearance education helps people with nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease. It aims to improve breathing and quality of life.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 20 years+ - NCT06419062Enrolling by invitation
Using wearables to monitor COPD at home
This study tests if a wearable device can help track your COPD symptoms between doctor visits. You'll use a smartphone or computer to share data, which may help your care team stay on top of your health.
GlasgowAges 18 years+ - NCT05906316Recruiting
Study of new treatment plan for MAC lung infection
This study follows people with a newly diagnosed MAC lung infection (a specific type of mycobacterial disease) and tests how they do on the standard three-drug treatment plan. It may help researchers better understand outcomes and safety for this condition.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT07402551RecruitingPhase 2
Testing RC1416 injection for COPD flare-ups
This trial tests an injection called RC1416 for people with moderate-to-severe COPD who still have flare-ups despite using triple inhaler therapy. It may help reduce those flare-ups and improve breathing.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 40–85 - NCT07084402RecruitingPhase 4
Effect of Contezolid on MAC lung disease
This trial tests whether the drug Contezolid can quickly kill the bacteria that cause MAC lung disease, a type of lung infection. It is for people who have not been treated for this infection in the last 3 months.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05456009Recruiting
Breath analysis test for adults
This study tests how analyzing your breath can help researchers detect or understand health conditions. If you’re an adult and can safely participate, you may be able to take part and have your exhaled breath measured.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06419036Enrolling by invitation
Using medical devices to monitor COPD at home
This study tests whether wearable medical devices can help monitor your COPD symptoms at home. You will use a smartphone app and a small chest patch to track your breathing, which may help you and your doctor better manage your condition.
GlasgowAges 18 years+ - NCT06531798RecruitingPhase 4
Safety study of Breztri aerosphere in Indian COPD patients
This study tests a medication called Breztri aerosphere (a triple-combination inhaler) to see how safe and well-tolerated it is in Indian patients with COPD who have had recent flare-ups. It may help people who need better control of their breathing symptoms.
Dalgate, DrugjanAges 18 years+ - NCT07742046Enrolling by invitation
Heart blood flow scan for congenital heart disease
This study tests a new MRI technique to measure blood flow in the heart without invasive procedures. It may help doctors better understand and manage congenital heart conditions.
LausanneAges 16 years+ - NCT07192016RecruitingPhase 4
MRI study of triple inhaler for COPD with breathlessness
This study uses a special MRI scan to see how well a single triple inhaler works for people with COPD who have moderate to severe shortness of breath or feel their health is not good. It compares two groups: those with a low risk of flare-ups and those with a high risk, to find out if the treatment helps both groups.
London, OntarioAges 50–85 - NCT06958666Recruiting
Comparing two breathing exercises for COPD symptoms
This study compares two breathing exercise methods (DITM vs IMT) for people with COPD to see which helps improve symptoms and quality of life better. It's for people who are already using a specific type of inhaler.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 40 years+ - NCT06862206Recruiting
Benralizumab study for severe asthma in China
This study looks at people in China with severe eosinophilic asthma who are starting a new medicine called benralizumab. It will collect information about their symptoms and quality of life to understand who benefits most.
AnhuiAges Any age - 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+ - NCT07353034Recruiting
Social Support for COPD Self-Management

Charleston, South CarolinaAges 40 years+ - NCT07707271Recruiting
Continuous vs. interval exercise for COPD
This trial compares two types of exercise training—steady moderate exercise versus short bursts of higher intensity—to see which is more helpful for people with COPD. It aims to find a better way to improve your breathing and fitness.
Thessaloniki, ExohiAges Any age - NCT03033251Recruiting
Compare high-flow oxygen to noninvasive ventilation for COPD flare-ups
This study compares two breathing support options for people hospitalized with a COPD flare-up and high carbon dioxide levels in the blood. It aims to see which option works better and is safer for breathing and recovery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 40 years+ - NCT03331302RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

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+ - NCT03799354Recruiting
Strength training study for people with COPD
This trial tests whether a maximal strength training program can help people with COPD who are stable. It is looking at people with moderate-to-severe airflow limitation and excludes several other lung and health problems.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pulmonary disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 538 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.
