Predicting COPD flare-up risk in adults
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at factors that can predict when chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will flare up. It may help doctors identify people at higher risk sooner and tailor care to prevent flare-ups.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been clinically diagnosed with COPD
- You are at least 40 years old
- You can complete breathing tests called spirometry
- You do not have asthma
- You do not have certain other lung or heart problems (like lung cancer, tuberculosis after-effects, or major bronchiectasis)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people with COPD who have a sudden worsening of symptoms, called an exacerbation. It tracks what symptoms they have and how they do over time to help doctors understand better how to treat these episodes.
This trial studies cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) risk in people who have stable COPD or a recent worsening of COPD. It may help researchers understand which risks to monitor during and after a COPD flare and how to prevent complications.
This research looks back at hospital records of people with a COPD flare-up who received breathing support. The goal is to find the best ways to use oxygen and breathing machines for future patients.
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.
This study tests a software algorithm that uses your health data to predict if you might have a COPD exacerbation (flare-up) within 60 days after leaving the hospital. The goal is to catch problems early and help you stay healthier.
This study tests whether a wearable device and a smartphone app can predict when your COPD will flare up. It uses AI to spot early warning signs, so you might get help sooner.
