Testing a new portable breathing support device
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new portable device that helps people breathe without using a tube in the windpipe. It may be an option for older adults who need breathing support but are not in the hospital for a sudden illness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older
- You are not currently hospitalized for an acute illness
- You have never worked as a doctor, nurse, or other health care provider
- You can understand and sign a consent form

This trial tests a portable “positive pressure” breathing device in people with severe COPD to see how well it works and whether it’s safe. It may help if you have trouble breathing and meet the device and health requirements.
This study tests a new wearable CPAP device for people with obstructive sleep apnea. It compares the device used with a mask system to standard treatment. You may be a good fit if you already use a ResMed AirFit N20 Medium mask and an APAP machine.
This study compares a new breathing device to standard tests for diagnosing asthma and COPD. If you have been referred for breathing tests because your doctor suspects asthma or COPD, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new portable device that measures how well your lungs work by having you breathe into a mouthpiece. Researchers want to see if this device can accurately identify different chronic lung conditions like COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, and others.
This study tests how well a specific breathing mask setup works in people who need noninvasive ventilation (breathing support without a breathing tube), especially during COPD flare-ups or certain kinds of breathing failure. It may help reduce complications related to the mask while supporting breathing for at least a day.
This study tests a portable handheld device that measures airway function to help diagnose asthma. Researchers want to see if this device can accurately identify asthma in people with breathing symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath.
