Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 30–85 - NCT07823842Recruiting
Biologics for asthma and COPD
This study looks at how well medicines called biologics work for people with asthma or COPD. Biologics are special shots that target certain parts of the immune system to reduce inflammation. Researchers want to see if these treatments can help control symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06772454Recruiting
Testing a new drug combo for advanced lung cancer with COPD
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) to standard chemotherapy and inhaled steroids helps people with advanced lung cancer who also have COPD. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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.
New Taipei City, New Taipei CityAges 40 years+ - NCT07870655Enrolling by invitation
Long-term effects of exercise habits in COPD
This study looks at how exercise habits from an earlier COPD exercise trial affect patients over the long term. It helps understand if the benefits last and how to keep patients active.
CopenhagenAges 40–80 - NCT05775588Recruiting
Lung valve treatment for severe COPD
This study tests tiny valves placed in your airways to see if they improve your heart and muscle function over the long term. It's for people with severe COPD (chronic lung disease) and significant emphysema damage.

Checking azithromycin prevention for COPD flare-ups
This Phase 4 study looks at optimizing how people with COPD take azithromycin to reduce flare-ups (exacerbations). If you already take azithromycin regularly, the trial may test ways to improve how it’s used safely.
CambridgeAges 40 years+ - NCT06068322Recruiting
Very intense interval training for people with COPD
This study tests whether a very intense, short burst of exercise (supramaximal high-intensity interval training) is safe and effective for people aged 60 and older with or without COPD. It aims to see if this type of exercise can improve fitness and daily life.
Hasselt, DiepenbeekAges 60 years+ - NCT07842510Recruiting
Controlled oxygen for copd flare-ups in the icu
