Study of early COPD changes using breathing tests and scans
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 30–55 years
- Have either: no smoking history, or at least a 10 pack-year smoking history
- Meet specific breathing-test results (spirometry) that place you in a study group like GOLD 0, PRISm, or GOLD 1–2
- Have a CAAT score below 10 if you’re joining as a healthy control
- Be able to do study visits and breathing tests (no cognitive issues preventing study tasks)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This study looks at the lung’s tiny bacteria (microbiome) and inflammation in people with early COPD who have a smoking history. It compares them with smokers who have normal breathing tests, to better understand what may drive COPD early on.
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.
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.
