Growing lung stem cells from COPD patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial aims to grow lung stem cells and create mini-lungs (organoids) from the tissue of people with COPD. It may help researchers understand the disease better and develop new treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be under 55 years old.
- You have COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and will have a bronchoscopic biopsy (a procedure to get a small piece of lung tissue).
- You cannot have any genetic diseases or other lung conditions such as asthma or pulmonary fibrosis.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This trial tests whether an infusion of donor stem cells can help people with moderate to severe COPD breathe easier. If you are a current or former smoker aged 40 to 80, your symptoms are stable, and your lung function meets specific targets, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a special exercise program can help repair lung tissue in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It aims to find new ways to improve lung health and quality of life.
This study looks at how the body’s “innate” (first-line) immune system works in people with COPD compared with healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand COPD inflammation and how immune responses could be targeted in the future.
This study looks at lung function in people with early COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) to understand what happens over time. If you meet the lung test and health requirements, you may be able to help researchers learn how to better track and manage early COPD.
This study tests whether special stem cells can help repair lung damage in people with COPD. It may help us understand how to improve lung function for those who smoke or have smoked.
This trial tests whether transplanting a patient's own lung stem cells can improve lung function in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It aims to see if this treatment is safe and helps repair damaged lung tissue.
