Screening for people at high risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is looking for people who might have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a lung condition that makes it hard to breathe. If you have a cough, bring up phlegm, or have breathing trouble, you may be able to join and help doctors learn more about finding COPD early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have a history of coughing, bringing up phlegm, or trouble breathing
- You may be at risk due to smoking, dust, fumes, or other exposures
- You are willing to give your permission to participate

This study follows people who currently smoke and people who may have newly found COPD (chronic obstructive lung disease) based on breathing test results. It aims to better understand lung disease in real life and what it means for health over time.
This study looks at people with asthma or COPD to better understand the disease and how it affects them. It may help improve future treatments.
This study looks at different forms of COPD to find better ways to treat them. It may help you understand your own condition and receive more personalized care.
This study aims to find people with undiagnosed asthma or COPD by using a simple questionnaire and a breathing test. If you have symptoms like cough or wheeze but no prior diagnosis, you may be able to join and get early treatment.
This trial is studying people with chronic lung conditions, like COPD or asthma, to find treatable traits. It also includes healthy volunteers for comparison, to better understand what makes these diseases different and how to personalize treatment.
This study looks for early signs of COPD (chronic lung disease) in younger people who smoke or have had a CT scan showing emphysema. By spotting COPD early, doctors hope to start treatments sooner and slow the disease down.
