A short walking test to predict survival in COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a 6-minute stepper test (a simple exercise test) can predict survival in people with COPD. It aims to understand if this test can help doctors know more about a patient's future health.

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 follows people with COPD over time to better understand their lung health and how it changes. It may help researchers and doctors learn what factors affect breathing and long-term outcomes.
This study tests a home-based program that provides education and activity guidance for people with COPD who have been hospitalized in the past year. It aims to help you understand your condition better and stay active safely.
This trial uses a shuttle walking test to see how well people with chronic lung disease can exercise before and after lung surgery. It may help doctors better understand recovery and plan care.
This study looks at how a breathing-related questionnaire (called the Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile) measures changes in shortness of breath during lung rehabilitation for people with COPD. It aims to find out what a 'meaningful' improvement feels like, so doctors can better track your progress.
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.
