Study for people with new or suspected COPD risk
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 35 years
- Have smoked more than 20 pack-years (a long smoking history)
- Be currently smoking, or quit less than 1 month ago
- Have a breathing test that suggests COPD (or be newly found with COPD on that test)
- Not already have a known COPD diagnosis
- Be able to consent, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 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.
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.
