Study of early COPD lung function in adults
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 35 and 75 years old
- You have COPD test results: FEV1/FVC less than 0.8 after using an inhaler
- Your FEV1 is at least 80% of the expected value for your age
- You do not have other lung conditions (such as lung cancer, bronchiectasis, or certain lung scarring) that could change test results
- Your BMI is 35 or less
- You are not pregnant and you can safely do the lung function test

This study looks at signs (biomarkers) and different types of COPD in Chinese people. It aims to better understand COPD and pre-COPD, which may help with future treatments.
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 stable COPD to learn how the disease progresses and affects different patients in different ways. Researchers will track your lung function and symptoms over time to better understand COPD and improve treatment.
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 follows people with COPD (chronic lung disease) over many years to better understand the condition. It may help doctors learn what factors predict worsening over time.
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).
