Inhaled nitric oxide for lung function in COPD
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether breathing in nitric oxide gas can improve how well your lungs exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. It may help people with mild or moderate COPD, and also includes healthy volunteers for comparison.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have mild or moderate COPD, or you are a healthy volunteer without COPD.
- For COPD participants: your lung function test shows mild or moderate COPD (FEV1 at least 50% of normal).
- You have a smoking history of more than 10 pack-years (one pack-year means smoking one pack a day for a year).
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You do not have significant heart, blood vessel, metabolic, or muscle/nerve diseases.
- You do not have injuries that prevent you from riding a stationary bike for exercise tests.

This study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide gas can improve outcomes in people with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It may help reduce breathing problems by targeting how airways and blood vessels respond in the lungs.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether sildenafil tablets can improve exercise ability, shortness of breath, and heart-lung function in people with COPD. It also compares against people without COPD to better understand how sildenafil affects breathing tests.
This trial tests whether a gas called nitric oxide, breathed in through the nose or mouth, can help people with moderate to severe COPD. It could improve breathing and quality of life.
This trial tests whether inhaled nitric oxide can help people with severe obesity who are on a breathing machine because their lungs aren't getting enough oxygen. It aims to see if this treatment improves oxygen levels and recovery.
This study tests whether giving inhaled nitric oxide gas helps improve lung function in patients on a breathing tube with mild to moderate acute lung injury (ARDS). Participants will receive standard care plus the study gas, and the team will use special imaging to see how the lungs respond.
This study tests whether inhaling nitric oxide gas can improve how well oxygen moves from the lungs into the blood in people with ARDS who are using noninvasive breathing support like a CPAP or high-flow nasal oxygen. It may help doctors understand if this treatment can improve lung function and potentially reduce the need for a breathing tube.
