Portable oxygen for activity in mild-to-moderate lung disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing whether using portable oxygen during physical activity can help people with mild-to-moderate interstitial lung disease feel better and be more active. It is for people whose oxygen levels drop during exercise but are normal at rest.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD).
- Your oxygen level is normal (above 90%) when you are resting, but drops to between 80% and 89% when you are active.
- You have not used home oxygen therapy in the past year.
- You do not have other serious heart, lung, or muscle conditions that make it hard to breathe or exercise.

This study tests whether using portable oxygen during everyday activities helps people with certain lung diseases (like pulmonary fibrosis or COPD) who only experience low oxygen levels when moving around. Researchers want to see if a portable oxygen device improves how well participants can function and feel during daily life.
This trial tests a new portable oxygen device to help people with lung disease stay active without running out of breath. It compares how well the device works during daily activities.
This study compares breathing normal air versus low-flow liquid oxygen during exercise to see if oxygen helps improve performance in people with conditions affecting the lungs or the blood vessels in the lungs. You would exercise while using a portable oxygen device and then without it to compare the effects.
This study compares how well people with chronic lung diseases perform during exercise when breathing regular air versus when using low-flow liquid oxygen. It aims to see if using liquid oxygen during exercise can improve exercise ability and quality of life.
This study looks at how well skeletal (muscle) function supports exercise in people with interstitial lung diseases (including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). It may help better understand fitness and breathing limits, which can guide rehabilitation choices and future care.
This study compares exercise capacity, muscle oxygen levels, and physical activity between people with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how ILD affects daily movement and overall fitness.
