Observational study of severe COPD in Catalonia
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is observing people with severe COPD to learn more about how the disease progresses. By participating, you help researchers understand severe COPD better, which may lead to improved care for others.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 35 years of age or older.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of severe COPD, based on a lung function test showing your FEV1 is under 50% of the normal value.
- You must have a significant smoking history (at least 10 pack-years).
- Your COPD must be stable for at least 4 weeks before joining.
- You should not have another major lung disease (like pulmonary fibrosis or severe bronchiectasis) that explains your breathing problems, and no untreated cancer or alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency as the cause of your COPD.

This trial is looking at patients with a serious worsening of their chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who need intensive care. It aims to gather information to help improve treatment for these severe episodes.
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).
