Diet supplement plus exercise for muscle loss with lung disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether adding a dietary supplement to exercise can improve muscle strength in people with muscle loss (sarcopenia) who also have lung disease such as COPD or ILD. It may help you build strength and function without needing urgent hospital care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have COPD or interstitial lung disease (ILD), and your doctor feels you don’t need hospital or emergency treatment right now
- A clinician has diagnosed you with sarcopenia (muscle loss) based on their evaluation
- You are able to sign a study consent form
- You are an outpatient and you can walk (not bedridden or unable to walk due to physical disability)
- You are not under 20 years old
- You do not have terminal cancer or HIV (human-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome)

This study looks at people with COPD or ILD who also show signs of frailty. It aims to understand how frailty and muscle loss (sarcopenia) affect their care and use of medical resources over time.
This study tests a new clinic designed to help people with COPD who have lost muscle mass (sarcopenia). By using a CT scan done during your hospital stay, doctors can identify muscle loss and offer treatments to help you regain strength and function.
This study looks at proteins in the blood to understand muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with chronic lung disease. It aims to find better ways to detect and manage this condition.
This trial tests a combined exercise and nutrition program to help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It aims to improve muscle strength and function, especially for those with metabolic syndrome.
This trial tests whether a combination of a vitamin D-like drug (idecalcitol), whey protein powder, and a structured exercise program can help rebuild muscle strength and mass in people with sarcopenia. It lasts about 6 months.
This trial is for adults with chronic kidney disease and low muscle strength (sarcopenia). It aims to find ways to improve outcomes, especially if you have a higher risk of complications.
