Study of early-onset severe COPD in younger adults
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at people who develop COPD (a long-term lung breathing problem) at a younger age and have severe airflow limitation. It may help researchers better understand COPD in early-onset patients and find ways to improve care for this group.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have COPD that was diagnosed by a doctor
- You were diagnosed with COPD before age 53
- Breathing test (spirometry) shows very severe COPD (FEV1 under 40% of predicted)
- You do not have a severe genetic condition called alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
- You do not have another long-term lung disease besides COPD (except asthma)
- You are not pregnant, and you have not had major lung surgery (including lung transplant or lung reduction)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows people who currently smoke and people who may have newly found COPD (chronic obstructive lung disease) based on breathing test results. It aims to better understand lung disease in real life and what it means for health over time.
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 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.
This study looks at lung function in people with early COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) to understand what happens over time. If you meet the lung test and health requirements, you may be able to help researchers learn how to better track and manage early COPD.
This study follows people with early COPD patterns (or no lung disease) to understand how COPD starts and progresses over time. You may have breathing tests and possibly CT scans, and some participants may join an added lung procedure (bronchoscopy).
This study looks at different forms of COPD to find better ways to treat them. It may help you understand your own condition and receive more personalized care.
