Emphysema and COPD patient registry with sample storage
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study enrolls people who have emphysema/COPD into a research registry and collects health information and biological samples. It may help researchers understand the disease better and improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have COPD or emphysema confirmed by your medical history, lung test results, or a lung scan
- You are able and willing to join a long-term research registry
- You are able and willing to provide study samples (such as blood or other required specimens)

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial enrolls adults to help build a patient-powered research network for chronic lung disease. If you join, you’ll likely be asked to complete surveys or provide information to help researchers learn how symptoms and health outcomes change over time.
This study looks at the germs in exhaled (breathed-out) air to compare people with COPD to people without COPD. It may help researchers better understand lung differences and what could drive COPD.
This study looks at how bacteria in your body and other chemicals relate to COPD. It compares people with COPD to healthy smokers to find differences.
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.
This registry collects information from people with COPD (and sometimes overlapping asthma-COPD features) to better understand breathing problems and airways behavior. It may help researchers learn which patterns match different symptom types, without necessarily using a new drug.
