Quality program for high-risk COPD, tested with primary care teams
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a quality-improvement program (called CONQUEST) helps people with higher-risk chronic lung disease (COPD) when delivered through primary care teams. It compares the program given right away versus usual care for a while, then the program later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a primary care team (not an individual patient) that will be assigned to an approach.
- Your team can be randomly assigned as one group without too much “mixing” between team members or clinicians.
- Your practice has enough COPD patients who meet “modifiable high-risk” criteria to make results reliable.
- Your team agrees to be randomly assigned to either start CONQUEST right away or use usual care first, then get CONQUEST later.
- Your team cannot be in the middle of, or planning, changes to electronic health record (EHR) software or practice ownership during the study period.
- Your team cannot already be running a COPD quality-improvement project (or active research) that would make it hard to run CONQUEST.

This study tests whether a structured care program for COPD can lower how often your symptoms flare up. It may help by improving everyday management and preventing future worsening.
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 tests whether working with a pharmacist to learn about COPD and how to manage it can help people who have been recently treated for a COPD flare-up. Participation may lead to better self-care and fewer future problems.
This trial tests a remote monitoring program for people with COPD. You'll use devices at home to track your health and answer questions, which may help your care team spot problems early and reduce flare-ups.
This study tests a virtual program called 'My Lung Health Coach' that helps people with COPD manage their condition through an app connected to their health record. The goal is to see if this self-management program can improve your breathing, reduce flare-ups, and help you feel more in control of your health.
This study tests a “precision” approach to help people who are newly eligible for lung cancer screening actually get screened and start smoking-cessation treatment. If it works, it could make screening and quitting help easier to access and more engaging.
