High-flow therapy for long-term oxygen users
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding high-flow oxygen therapy to your usual long-term oxygen therapy can help you breathe better. It is for people with COPD or ILD who use oxygen at home for at least 15 hours a day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years or older
- You have COPD or ILD that requires long-term oxygen therapy
- You use an oxygen concentrator at home, including at night
- You have been on oxygen therapy for at least 28 days
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 35
- You do not currently smoke or have contact with flames

This study tests whether using a special oxygen device at home helps prevent another acute COPD flare after you’ve been hospitalized. It’s mainly for people with severe breathing problems who may need oxygen support long-term.
This study tests whether high-flow oxygen through a breathing tube helps patients recover faster after tracheostomy (a surgical opening in the windpipe). If you're in the ICU with a tracheostomy and nearly ready to breathe on your own, this trial may help you transition off the ventilator more smoothly.
This study tests whether giving oxygen through a small tube in your windpipe during a breathing test helps you breathe more comfortably and successfully. It aims to improve how doctors decide if you are ready to breathe without the ventilator.
This study tests whether a high-flow nasal cannula (a device that delivers warm, moisturized oxygen through small tubes in your nose) can help reduce persistent shortness of breath in people with interstitial lung disease. If you already use long-term oxygen therapy but still feel breathless, this treatment might offer extra relief.
This trial tests a smart oxygen system that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for people with COPD who are in the hospital using a nasal high-flow device. It may help keep your oxygen levels stable without needing constant adjustments.
This trial tests whether pulmonary rehabilitation (supervised breathing and activity training) improves outcomes for adults who need high-flow oxygen. You may be eligible if your breathing and heart/vital signs are stable and your oxygen level is above a certain threshold.
