Studying Biomarkers and COPD Types in Chinese People
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at signs (biomarkers) and different types of COPD in Chinese people. It aims to better understand COPD and pre-COPD, which may help with future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to do a breathing test correctly.
- You must not have asthma.
- You must not have had a COPD flare-up in the last 2 weeks.
- You must not have had lung surgery in the last 6 months.
- You must not have had cancer (other than certain skin cancers) in the last 5 years.
- You must not be pregnant if you are a woman.

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 a portable device that measures how well your lungs work by sending gentle sound waves or pulses through them. It aims to see if this new device can accurately detect and differentiate various chronic lung conditions, potentially offering a simpler and more accessible way to monitor respiratory health.
This trial looks at lung tissue from people with COPD to understand how the disease affects individual cells. It may help develop better treatments in the future.
This study compares simple breathing tests (oscillometry and FeNO) used by your primary care doctor against a specialist's diagnosis to see if they can accurately tell if you have asthma or COPD. If you have symptoms like wheezing, cough, or shortness of breath but haven't been diagnosed yet, this trial may help improve how these conditions are found.
This study looks at different lung immune cell patterns and how they work in smokers who are not yet diagnosed with COPD or asthma. It may help researchers understand why some people are more likely to develop COPD, which could guide future prevention or early treatments.
This study follows people with COPD (chronic lung disease) over many years to better understand the condition. It may help doctors learn what factors predict worsening over time.
