How lung disease treatment may affect heart function
This study looks at how common long-term lung conditions and their treatments may change heart function. It uses heart imaging (an MRI) to see what’s happening, which could help doctors better monitor heart risks in people with lung disease.
AachenAges 18–99 - NCT06362382Recruiting
Home rehab via smartphone for pulmonary hypertension
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program, guided by a smartphone app, can improve your daily life and heart function if you have pulmonary hypertension. You will use a wearable device to track your activity and receive remote support from a medical team.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT07667673Recruiting
Heart imaging study for pulmonary arterial hypertension
This study uses heart imaging tests to better understand pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and predict outcomes. It may help doctors tailor treatment for people with PAH.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT04676828Recruiting
SPECT-guided radiation to avoid healthy lung in lung cancer
This study tests a special imaging-guided radiation plan that aims to treat lung cancer while reducing radiation to healthy lung tissue. It may help lower lung side effects while keeping the cancer treatment focused on tumor areas.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06751537Recruiting
Testing a wearable device for COPD severity
This trial tests a wearable device (WearME) that tracks your breathing and activity to see how well it can measure COPD severity. It may help you and your doctor better understand your lung function at home.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 21–100 - 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+ - NCT05584722Recruiting
Study risk and resilience in pulmonary arterial hypertension
This study looks at how people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and certain genetic risks cope and how their bodies respond over time. It may help researchers understand factors linked to better or worse outcomes, and how different people manage the condition.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 15–80 - NCT04722835Recruiting
Study lung immune cells in people at risk for COPD
This study looks at different lung immune cell patterns and how they work in smokers who are not yet diagnosed with COPD or asthma. It may help researchers understand why some people are more likely to develop COPD, which could guide future prevention or early treatments.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - NCT05226247Recruiting
Check whether careful weaning prevents lung fluid buildup
This study looks at people on a breathing machine for more than 48 hours who are starting a “spontaneous breathing trial,” a test used to see if they can breathe on their own. It focuses on those at higher risk of “weaning-induced pulmonary edema,” meaning fluid can collect in the lungs during the weaning process.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT07036523RecruitingPhase 2
Study of BI 765423 for people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
This trial tests a new medicine, BI 765423, to see if it can improve lung function in people with IPF, a lung scarring disease. You can join whether or not you are already taking standard treatments like nintedanib or pirfenidone.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pulmonary function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 124 recruiting pulmonary function 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 function 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 function 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.
