Eosinopenia and Recovery in Severe COPD Exacerbation
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is looking at people admitted to the hospital for a severe COPD flare-up. It checks if a low level of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood is linked to how quickly you recover from the flare-up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were admitted to the hospital because your COPD suddenly worsened (a flare-up).
- You have smoked at least 1 pack of cigarettes per day for 10 years (10 pack-years).
- You have a breathing test (spirometry) result showing your FEV1/FVC ratio is below 0.7.
- You are able to understand the study and give signed permission (informed consent).
- You do NOT have asthma, active cancer, a parasitic or serious fungal infection, or take certain steroids or biologics that affect eosinophils.

This trial tests if inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) work better for COPD patients with different eosinophil levels. You must already be taking two long-acting bronchodilators and have stopped smoking for at least 6 months.
This study looks at how well patients with COPD recover after an acute flare-up, and what symptoms or traits are most common. It aims to improve treatment and support for future patients.
This study looks at people with COPD who are having a flare-up (sudden worsening of symptoms). It checks if a type of white blood cell called eosinophils (which may be higher in some people) affects how they do over time. The study is observational, meaning researchers just watch and collect information—you don't get any special treatment.
This study looks at how eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) work in asthma, including in people who have not responded to certain biologic treatments. By joining, you may help researchers understand asthma better and potentially improve future treatments.
This study tests better ways to diagnose, treat, and follow up on sudden COPD flare-ups. If you're in the ER with a COPD attack, it aims to improve your care and recovery.
This study looks at people hospitalized for a COPD flare-up (“exacerbation”). It may help improve how flare-ups are treated because participants need to receive the usual rescue medicines like steroids and/or antibiotics and then follow a study plan.
