Recruiting studies
- NCT05652439Recruiting
Assess heart and stroke events after starting triple COPD inhalers
This study looks at how often heart problems or stroke happen in people with COPD after they start a specific “triple therapy” inhaler. It may help doctors understand whether these inhalers change cardiovascular (heart) or cerebrovascular (stroke) risk.
LondonAges 40 years+ - 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.
Grenoble, IsèreAges 18 years+ - NCT05717192Recruiting
Bronchoscopy treatment to shrink severe emphysema using heat
This trial studies a bronchoscopy procedure that uses heat (thermoablation) to reduce over-inflated lung tissue in people with severe emphysema. If you qualify, it aims to improve breathing and walking ability after trying standard treatments first.
BerlinAges 40–75 - NCT05730088Recruiting
Helping COPD patients avoid hospital visits with home nursing support
This trial tests whether adding several nursing check-ins and coaching (using home oxygen and regular contact) can help people with severe COPD avoid going back to the hospital. It uses phone or internet tools to support care at home.
KonyaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05772013RecruitingPhase 4
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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05967117RecruitingPhase 4
Low-iodine dye for chest CT images
This trial tests whether using a lower amount of iodine dye during a chest CT scan can still produce good images. It may help doctors see chest structures clearly while using less iodine for the scan.
Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06201403Recruiting
COPD: Breathing Muscle Strength and Flexibility Study
This study looks at the strength and flexibility of muscles you use to breathe, including muscles in your chest and neck. If you have moderate-to-severe COPD and have been stable on your medications, it may help researchers understand how these muscles are affected.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 18–75 - NCT06232551Recruiting
Hospital alert to prescribe rivaroxaban to prevent blood clots
This trial tests whether alerting your hospital doctor to prescribe a blood thinner called rivaroxaban (Xarelto) at discharge can help prevent dangerous blood clots in your legs or lungs. It is for patients who are at higher risk for clots but have a low bleeding risk.
Murray, UtahAges 18–110 - 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+ - NCT06275230Recruiting
Growing lung stem cells from COPD patients
This trial aims to grow lung stem cells and create mini-lungs (organoids) from the tissue of people with COPD. It may help researchers understand the disease better and develop new treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–55 - NCT06283004Recruiting
Walking training in COPD: comparing different slopes
This study tests whether walking on different types of slopes improves exercise ability in people with COPD. It aims to find the best slope training to help you breathe easier and walk farther.
Istanbul, Eyüp SultanAges 40 years+ - NCT06331416Recruiting
Home monitoring after COPD flare-up
This trial tests if people with COPD can use a home monitoring system after a flare-up to help doctors track their recovery. It aims to reduce hospital visits and improve care.
TriesteAges 18–90 - NCT06347536RecruitingPhase 3
Support pack after hospital stay for COPD flare-up
This study tests whether giving a 'rescue pack' with medications after leaving the hospital helps people with COPD avoid another flare-up. It is for patients recently discharged after a COPD worsening that required a hospital stay.
BarnsleyAges 40 years+ - NCT06349174Recruiting
Lung valve treatment for severe COPD
This study tests whether placing tiny valves in the airways can help people with severe COPD breathe easier. It is for people who still have trouble breathing despite quitting smoking and completing pulmonary rehab.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–85 - NCT06376994RecruitingPhase 3
Clean air study for COPD
This study tests if using air cleaners at home improves lung health in people with COPD. If you qualify, you may get an air cleaner for your home and be followed for 12 months.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40 years+ - NCT06377410Recruiting
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+ - NCT06390345Recruiting
Telehealth lifestyle and exercise for COPD and sleep apnea
This study tests a telehealth program that combines lifestyle coaching and exercise to help people with both COPD and sleep apnea improve their breathing and daily function. It may be a good fit if you are overweight, have a history of smoking, and feel short of breath during light activity.

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.
